West was not thrown out. He was cheated out. The GOPe refused to help, and West did not have the money to challenge the fraud on his own.

That’s how I remember it as well! That’s when the GOPe was getting rid of as many Tea Party members as possible. He was a thorn in the GOPe’s side.
I totally agree. The fraud was so big and so obvious, even a Democrat who wanted to see West defeated wrote an article documenting and condemning it. That’s the one I linked to. The GOPe could have stepped in to help West financially, but as you said, they were happy to be rid of him.
It was a disgrace.
