Trying to start a 3rd party would be a mistake.
Rather than start another party ,conservatives should take over the Republican party by working for conservative candidates.
The Socialists and Communists did that with he Democrat party starting in earnest around 1965. It took along time to bring down the Democrat party but it worked.
The Socialists and Communists could never get elected with an S or C behind their name; they needed a D or an R. Conservatives will need an R behind their name.- tom
By whatever means necessary.
