Generally speaking, the loose knit arrangement of the Tea Party that I am in serves them/us well in many ways, but not in being able to consistently get a single candidate to go up against the GOPe, as well as vette the candidate, not really in political realm but more so in what their “life experience” is and in their ability to speak well and present themselves to the voters.
Also feels like the process, so to speak, is rushed...

Actually, that is a plus and maybe you do not recognize that. You have much more information about who and why you vote for a candidate. It’s called more information rather that propaganda regarding candidates. Rather a rare thing these days.
