I’d like to see the Tea Party replace the Republican Party. It can be accomplished in a non-destructive manner.
Right now we can vote for Senators and Congressmen from the Tea Party. We do it by supporting them in the primary, then the general election. Once we get them seated, they caucus with the Republicans but still vote for constitutional conservative values.
We continue to vote for Conservative Republicans (if there are any nominated) for president. We do this until the R.P. declines to the point the Tea Party has replaced it.
During this process the R.P. moves right trying to keep from becoming irrelevant. Either that or it finally formalizes its position and is absorbed into the Democrat Party.
The RP has had my support for most of my life. It did because the people I most agreed with (Conservatives), were Republicans. Sorry but the RP has drifted so far, it’s candidates no longer share my views.
In my state it actually tries to defeat Conservatives.
Did they think I was gonna support that? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
