Well these people who live inside The Beltway are too removed from reality to understand what is happening.
The Grass Roots Tea Party, or whatever you want to call it, is a new force in politics and it is picking and supporting the candidates it wants, most of them Conservative by the way.
The RNC wonders why it's fund raising is down have only themselves to blame and it's looking at them in the mirror.
Their own ignorance not to mention the MSM also, they just don't get the anger and frustration of the average voter regardless of Race, Creed or Religion.
So the Washington D.C. insiders can either get with the new program or be left behind.

“The Grass Roots Tea Party, or whatever you want to call it”
I’m talking specifically about the idea that a 3rd party is viable, when what we need is a rejuvenated 2nd party. We cannot and must not think about a 3rd party - we must think about taking OVER the 2nd party slot - whatever that entails. That’s because history, Constitutional and election law relegate against 3rd parties. I don’t have to remind anyone here that we’re not a parliamentary system, do I?
A 3rd party candidate is extremely difficult to get on the ballot in all 50 states - let alone come anywhere near electoral success - as Ross Perot proved.
Much better that we pick up the pieces of the shattered Republican party - and form it anew!
