re: The Tea Party Movement Is Dead

And thus we ended up with four groups.

Neocons who didn'r mind spending money as long as it was for war, and turned a blind eye to illegal immigration because it was a profit center for companies.

TEA Party who wanted smaller, libertarian government, but had no capacity to lead

Culture Warriors who only seem to care about social isues like anti-abortion

MAGA who has no desire to reduce government, but rather wants to use large government to punish their enemies, all while maintaining a show of expensive "vote yourselves the treasury" populism.

always difficult to 'lead' when you elect 'leaders' because they campaigned on issues like reducing illegal immigration and limiting foreign wars, and within three weeks of being elected are gagging on McCains penith and telling you "I won. Thanks. Now frick Off". Witness Tea Party darling Marco Rubio.
