This guy?
The co-founder of an Iowa-based Tea Party group who was thrust into the national spotlight two months ago has resigned his position with the organization. Ken Crow, chairman of the Tea Party of America, stepped down last week. Crow gained notoriety following some missteps in the handling of Sarah Palin’s appearance at a TPoA event in September.
“Due to philosophical differences and opinions, I decided it was best to pursue other avenues in the Tea Party movement,” Crow told TheIowaRepublican.com. “It wasn’t a break up. I’m the founder of it and I decided it wasn’t best that I hang around anymore, so I resigned as chairman of the board and founder and walked away.”

I wish Jim Gilmore would have stayed in. Then we would at least had a clear choice with eligibility unquestioned.

This steaming turd DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL OF US!
GIBBERING JEB? REALY.
Somebody needs to tell this IDIOT that he needs to step away from the wet bar, the bong, or the bribes.
I am a CRUZ guy myself, but I would vote for my dog JACK (and he’s dead) befor I would ever vote for Gibbering Jeb.

Or just proof that establishment money types glommed onto the tea party and started organizations using that name...

So many claim that mantle and turned into these ‘professional’ organizations trying to tap into the most genuine movement of the people in decades.
As far as I’m concerned, the ONLY candidate that has stayed true to the principles that I hold as Tea Party values is Dr. Carson. Sadly, he isn’t going to make it, at least this time, even though in my heart, he’s the one I’d like.

Hmm...I'm a longtime Tea Partier and I never heard of the guy. There was a rash of would-be "leaders" of a what amounts to a leaderless resistance, but they were mostly self-aggrandizing nonentities and
faux media darlings used to discredit the overall movement.
Now...defecting to Yeb! - when it comes to unintended humor I do believe we've hit the motherlode here. Who could possibly be more a Tea Partier than a guy who believes in illegal immigration amnesty and big government? I wonder if I should budget for that $75 guacamole bowl after all...

There is, and there never was, a “Tea Party.” And this clown proves it.

If a prominent member of the ministry can endorse tRump that I guess it should come as know surprise that a Tea Party founder can endorse Bush.

Bwahahahaha. I true Tea Party person would not support Bush. End of story.
To: manc
What a joke, how much did he get paid?
My thoughts exactly. Trump for Cruz sure. Trump for Carson or Rubio, maybe. Nobody but NOBODY is going to leap the grand chasm between Trump and Bush. Unless there's some gold at the end of that rainbow.
To: manc
I find it odd too. Just shows “Tea Party” can mean more than it used to.

Correct.
The fix is in. Now we will see Jeb's numbers go up and Trump go down.
Saturday night, when they call it for Jeb, they will point to GW, this nitwit and a few others that some how swayed SC to vote for this JA.

If you are an establishment guy it makes sense, but the Tea Party? He's been an establishment guy all along. As with everything else in life: follow the money. Which brings up two questions:
1. What was in it for him, when he "founded" the Tea Party?
2. What's in it for him throwing his support behind Bush?
Again, as with everything in life, "follow the money."
