Libertarian billionaire Charles Koch says he now regrets funding Tea Party-aligned groups because it deepened partisan tensions in the United States.
'Boy, did we screw up!' the 85-year-old Koch says in a forthcoming book, according to The Wall Street Journal. 'What a mess!'
The Tea Party rose to prominence in the run-up to the 2010 midterm elections, as a response to the election of Democratic President Barack Obama in 2008.

The problem with the TEA party is that it became the the right wing agenda party. If they had stuck to taxes and spending it could have had a long life.
But it tried to pick up other balls and run with them. It lost its wide support.

The Cuck Brothers are determined to get the Left to love them. A few of them might be up for sale.
To: Vermont Lt
Incorrect.
The left-wing establishment GOP stabbed them right after using them to get elected.

No matter who it is.... stopping fraud, waste, and abuse of tax dollars is often promised but never prevails.
Raising taxes is easy, cuts in spending to off set the waste of tax dollars never happens.

To: RummyChick
He didn’t think we could elect anyone who would do what’s right for the citizens.
Bush League Republican (Democrats in R jerseys) control of the GOP was supposed to produce Designated Losers or Bush League Presidents who would continue the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
Trump took them by surprise.
