One last indignity: The tea party swipes John Boehner’s seat
washington post ^ | 3-16-2016 | Amber Phillips

Warren Davidson, a businessman and former Army Ranger, won a 15-way Republican primary Tuesday in the special election for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District. The tea party candidate rather easily bested more moderate candidates, including two state lawmakers, in a campaign that quickly became ground zero for the party’s ongoing identity struggle in the House that Boehner used to run.

Hopefully he stays true, unlike many other Tea Party candidates once they hit DC.

I really think they are intimidated or bribed. You know it can be done by the scum that are leftist and their followers.

No morals in this world anymore.

I’d love to see a freshman congressman post a sign outside his office door informing people that all who enter will be subject to video and audio recording. Then see how many of the corrupt cretins avoid visiting his office.

Of course they’ll just try to bribe/blackmail him elsewhere, but it would send a message.

They are definitely intimidated and bribed by the “leadership”. The democrat congressman, I think it was Gutierrez, spelled out how that happens a few years back. I am sure the R side of the uniparty works similarly.
