Without the Tea Party, the GOP has no chance of winning.

There is enough bulls**t on this thread today to fertilze 40 acres of crops. Are we supposed to believe your statement above when November 4, 2014 proves it’s a crock? You think Thad Cochran won without the 250,000 Tea Partiers and Conservatives who were originally for Chris McDaniel? You think all the RINOs who won, won without votes from Tea Partiers? Come on txrefugee, lay down the crack pipe.
Were YOU right about the midterms? Uh, NO. You predicted we would NOT regain the Senate.
Presidential Elections it does hold true that Liberal Republicans do not fair well. If Gore had not been scandal tainted GW Bush who told the Conservatives to pound sand and embraced the Log Cabin GOP would have had a major loss in 2000. Ford-Liberal lost, GHW Bush - Liberal won one election on Reagan legacy and lost the next by his 1000 points of NWO Liberalism, Bob Dole Says-Liberal lost, GB Bush squeaked by what should have been easy wins had he not told the Conservative base to get lost, John Take a Dive McCain didn't even make it to the election despite the party nomination, Mitt Obamacare Romney LOST. Compare those to Ronald Reagan the most Conservative GOP post WW2 POTUS who won two landslides by embracing the Conservative Base.
Yes indeed if a GOP POTUS candidate disses the Conservatives {Tea Party} they can almost with certainty count on a loss in the General Election. The big question needed asking is why don't they care? Being paidor promised high paying positions to throw elections perhaps? They likely have more in common politically with the DEMs and share their agenda? I think so. I think politically the Bush Family likely agrees with most of Obama's policies than Ronald Reagan's and it certainly showed in "W"s botched terms as POTUS. Only the most devout Bush Cult loyalist defend the Bush clan now.
The Bush Family despite their Faux imported southern accents are northeastern LIBERALS born, breed, and educated, into the liberal culture considering themselves the ruling elite.
