Could it perhaps be time for the GOP to sink into the sunset and a new party really supported by and represented by real conservatives to emerge?

I don't know, but it's a worthwhile question to debate.

What you suggest will not happen. Instead, the democrat party will win elections and will continue to move the country more and more to the left. If conservatives could have formed a viable national party, we would have done so by now. In truth, conservatives represent about 20-30% of the republican base, and as such, can exert real influence but cannot dictate every national policy. Best to use that influence wisely and to support candidates who are best (or least harmful) for our county’s future.
