I seriously doubt it. Why would so called “conservative Republicans” do anything different now? They huff and they puff but in the end the fear of electing another Democrat just scares the hell out of them and they fall in line behind a Republicrat.

More likely, non-conservative Republicans will bolt to form a new party.
If you read the article, the writer is specifically talking about the “tea party” Republicans running a seperate presidential candaite in 2016. Which also seems likel to me. I would add the attacks from the Republican establishment (for instance House GOP chief Boehner) severely criticizing and denigrating the “tea party” tendency with in the GOP. I also think there is some “do or die” attitude among some in the US Right. They feel things are getting further and further from their core of values and institutions, and they feel like it’s now or never.
I also think next years Congressional raxces may have a major impact on this question. If there are several bruising GOP primary campaigns, and if what the GOP establishment considers key races end up getting lost to the Dems because a far Right candaite got the nomination, I think the GOP establishment will make serious efforts to break the “tea party” with in the GOP. Christie would want to break them before the 2016 Presidential primary season begins?
Of course, if Bernie Sanders does end-up pursuing an independent progressive Presidential campaign, that could balance out and independent tea party Presidential candidate?
Ron Paul was a RINO, because he supported the Constitution and liberty. Most Republicans don’t. I guess we don’t what Republicans are. Some would say the Whigs are still in control.
There’s a new ultra-conservative voting system that counts every vote, doesn’t liberally throw any votes away and liberals like it too.
It’s called pure proportional representation (PR) and it works great!
Check out the unity created by us and consider joining the team. Ranked choice voting is the fuel that makes us go.
Our voting system is so superior, the minimum guaranteed voter satisfaction level is 99.9% plus 1000 votes with a cap at 1000 and we’ll probably raise that to 99.983% when we reach 6000 elected names.
Here’s the new “World Coffee Party”, we’re not in conflict, we don’t start fights and disagree with you, we’re like Burger King, it’s “have it YOUR way”, the more the better…as long as there are ballots cast as proof.
In 2012, we had a 100% guaranteed satisfaction level and every name which received votes was elected, including write-ins. The ballot included all 525 names, 619 were elected, no name “lost” and we’ve never banished or thrown out one single person in 18 years.
Hope you like it!

It would be fun watching this NEW-GOP bunch trying to deal with ballot access laws to form a party in many states. Laws their buddies in the GOP created to thwart competition and suppress voter freedom. LOL.
Not if the Democrats name Hillary in 2016. Then you will have every person who was GOP at one time or another returning for this election just to keep her from the White House. Look for the Libertarians to lose some votes and almost all of the Constitution Party.
