Seems like only what I would describe as "fringe" conservative sources commenting about it in a "Ha ha, look at you guys" sort of way, and no mention at all from traditional mainstream outlets. But, why would they draw any attention to a purported movement that shows decline in their own cause?
So, if there is any merit to this movement, I certainly cannot see them "switching sides" by any means. If anything, the ranks of the Independent parties will rise.
See, that's the thing, though. The entire movement is based on the premise of walking away not from the party, necessarily, but from liberalism. This is why I have problems seeing this as legitimately a thing.

I should add that the conservatives I follow online aren't talking about it, either. And I follow a lot of conservatives on Twitter.
