Wasserman Schultz: Tillis's win means victory for Tea Party
The Hill ^ | 05-07-2014 | Alexandra Jaffe

Establishment favorite Thom Tillis’s win in the North Carolina Republican Senate primary Tuesday night actually indicates the Tea Party has won the war with the establishment, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) argued on Wednesday.

“The Tea Party has won the civil war that has been raging inside the Republican Party,” she told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Wednesday.

Wasserman Schultz said that Tillis "is no longer, if he ever was, an establishment candidate,” having been pulled to the right during his time as speaker of the North Carolina House.

“As the Speaker of the House, he has presided over some of the most extreme right-wing policies that have ever been enacted by a legislature. He has taken positions by being forced to the right — and I’m assuming he’s done that willingly. He certainly seems to have gleefully have engaged in some of the policies he’s put forwards,” she added.

I thought Little Debbie had gone on Spring Break. Haven’t heard from her for quite some time.

I don’t see the problem here. Maybe because this quackadoo finally talks out of her ass again.

They let her out, from time-to-time to attack Tokyo or beat up Mothra.

She needs to worry about her own Marxist party and keep her nose out of GOP business

ROFL. And I just got through reading a couple threads where the articles are about how the establishment is winning over the Tea Party this primary cycle! HA

Hopefully, NC can send Ted Cruz some reinforcements.

She wants so hard to admit the existence of the Uniparty to the public.

Washerwoman-Shultz is afraid that the Great Silent Majority is about to rise up and kick her sorry behind.

Folks - dems are always a step ahead. This is just usual spin. They even tried to depict Romney as right wing. They have moved on to the general election now. They will portray establishment pubs as right wing wackos tainted and beholden to the tea party etc etc.

Well.... I thought that Tillis was an acceptable candidate. Not at the level of Brannon, or others, but most certainly an improvement over the current fool in office.

Now, I'm starting to change my mind. In watching the level of liberal hysteria tossed at him - he might be a pretty good choice.
