At the suggestion of EC in another thread:
You are looking for a third party that supports "classic" conservatism, if I understand you, so start a thread on it. The people there will know more about the ins and outs of the various parties available.
Conservatives are without a true party right now that stands and fights for the Constitutional principles in which we believe. It has been this way for years. From my own perspective, I started searching for alternatives to the Republican Party on November 5, 2008 (I remember the date well) following McCain's loss to Obama and when the GOP-E knives came out for Palin. The rise of the TEA Party movement in 2009-2010 for a brief time gave me hope that the Republican Party could be taken over and changed from within, as so many were urging at the time, as opposed to building a new third party or supporting an existing one. We all know the mantra...go third party, and you are voting for Obama!!!! Does that sound familiar?
Needless to say, I gave it my all, but was once again terribly let down, first by Romney's nomination, and then by the apparent co-opting and corruption of many of the TEA Party congressmen and women who were elected in 2010. And then came the GOP-E counter attack, with sour grapes across the board (Castle in Delaware, Lugar in Indiana, and Bennett in Utah) and the infamous shenanigans and skullduggery against McDaniel in Mississippi, Cuccinelli in Virginia, and Bevin in Kentucky (who fortunately got the last laugh on McConnell last election).
With rise of Trump and attacks on Cruz, I have come to the conclusion that the Republican Party is no longer worth saving and is in fact going the way of the Whigs. Which brings us to the question---what is the alternative?
In 2009 I explored the Libertarian Party (
http://www.lp.org/), which is very appealing in many ways. I almost joined, but in the end just could not accept its open-borders, pro-abortion, and pro-drug platform. After that, I turned to the Constitution Party (
http://www.constitutionparty.com/) and believe that there is a lot of potential there, but it seriously needs better organization, stronger leadership, more funding, and a few high-profile Conservative champions to make it viable against the corrupt, rotten GOP-E.
Here is what it is up against:
