If there were two circles, Tea Party people and The Base (holy crap, in Arabic that is al Qaeda), how much of an overlap do they have? When moderate Republicans or country club republicans speak, do they think they are the base? Or are we conservatives the base? I don’t even know any more.
From every poll out there I read that only the (marginal, loser) tea party types want Ted Cruz. Even moderate republicans think the Tea Party (which I thought was all constitutional conservatives) is wack.
FreeRepublic has never faltered or altered their stance in the umpteen years it’s been in existence. How far away from us has the “base” of the party gone?
Ted Cruz never gets more than a fraction of the votes in these things. I feel like we are stuck in a bad dream. What do the “base” republicans even want from their government? “Do us like the Dems but be more gentle??”
“Ted Cruz never gets more than a fraction of the votes in these things. I feel like we are stuck in a bad dream.”
Don’t get discouraged, these voter surveys are name recognition at this point.
