I thought the tea party did pretty well in 2010, and in 2012.
Cruz made 2012 worthwhile.
Really? They blew winnable contests in Nevada, Delaware, Indiana and Missouri.
No wonder the Democrats held onto the Senate. A candidate has to be electable.
And the GOP wants to win in November.
The media has had time to DESTROY the Tea Party, IRS holding up their ability to raise money and this is why WE are losing!! MOST Tea Party
people are little old senior citizens, however have been portrayed as gun
slinging right wing bigots who would destroy women’s rights!!! It is going
to be a tough road back they got the jump on us THANKS to the IRS
STOPPING the ability to raise funds to fight back!!!! They did VERY WELL
for Scott Walker when they only had to focus on the ONE recall election
and could put ALL funds available towards the recall!!!!! It WILL take the
Tea Party years to build the machine financially to fight this corrupt
beast that has been created!!!
Sharron Angle
Christine O'Donnell
Joe Miller

Not sure if Akin was a Tea Party guy or not. Regardless, those were some very winnable races thrown away with bad candidates. I shed no tears for Castle and Lugar, but if you're going to oust them in a primary, it'd be nice to do so with a smart conservative (say, a Mike Pence type), rather than a former witch and someone who face-plants on political no-brainers such as rape.
As so many here say about McCain and Romney: winning the nomination doesn't mean a thing if you can't win the general.
