Third party is definitely not suicide.
These people ran for president on 3rd party tickets:
Ross Perot
Ron Paul
Pat Buchanan
Ralph Nader
Gary Johnson
None of them died or committed suicide following thumping in the elections.
I voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000,and I’m still here.
(Please don’t hold it against me. I was young and stupid.)

First of all that was a differnt time and different era. The nation was in a much different situation than it is now, the republican party was in a much different position than it is now.
We have RINOs calling conservatives unwelcomed extremists who hi-jacked the pary today.
Secondly, not one of those candidates on your list come close to a Tea Party candidate.
Third, I wasn’t really advocating a 3rd party to run in the presidential election, mostly because I assume Ted Cruz or perhaps Sara Palin may decide to run in 2016. I was referring to Senate and Congressional races. Now if we have another Mitt Romney as the nominee I would hope someone like Ted Cruz would run as a Tea Party candidate.
Sometimes just the threat to switch parties from a group of conservatives already holding seats in the House and Senate would be enough to get the RINOs in line. It worked for Joe Lieberman. The dems were scared to death he would change to independent if he didn’t get what he wanted. I believe they were something like 1 seat from being the minority in the Senate at the time.
There are plenty of options our elected conservative republicans have.
