I don't care if third party candidates work, it's divorcing the GOP and sending them the way of the Whigs as they need to be. Conservativatism will survive and will flourish after we get rid of and then rebuild the GOP.
And how exactly will conservatism survive and flourish? How will GOP be rebuilt?
Who cares. The GOP is dead to me. I will never again hold my nose and vote for a Dole/McCain/Romney type ever again. And the folks who are already floating Jeb - like a gas filled turd in a bowl - can kissmyass.
If the GOP really wanted to win, the first thing they would do is fire Rove.
