Re: “No national Tea Party support for David Brat.”
True - but for a good reason.
For most of the campaign, Brat trailed in all polls by 25%-30%.
Even in the last week, Cantor’s own pollster had Cantor up 10%-15%.
One of the national Tea Party leaders said it would have been completely “irresponsible” for the Tea Party to commit their limited funds to someone who was that far behind.
We backed Brat with our votes - not with cash collected from a bunch of elites.
Rick Santelli, Rush Limbaugh and Jim Robinson ARE the spiritual fathers of the Tea Party movement. Ain't none of 'em collecting from 'the Bigs'.
