The tea party has "one or two more elections cycles" left before it implodes, Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

Why do they keep asking these democrats about the plight of the republican party?? (of course I know) We don’t need their f’n advice!
Spoken like a true Leninist Marxist in brown no less
.... what about the collapse of Detroit and Chicago...the real pride and joy of the Democratic machine.....
Mr. Castro is projecting again.
Toss Oakland and Baltimore too..
I believe the same was said about Ronald Reagan...the guy who nearly swept the electoral college.
Is that before or after the upcoming bankruptcy of the US?
Joouaqqeeen REALLY wants the GOP to do well, natch.
Here's why:
It’s an amazing bit of marketing that transform a group that favors the constitution and limited government into extremists
when people are getting audited for the unmitigated gall of expecting govt to spend within its means...
it’s not collapse, its a retreat from tyranny
these days i have no desire to get my name on any more lists then i’m already on
Pretty easy to do when you have them locked down with IRS audits, monitor their communications and spy on them.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
(I couldn’t resist)
I’ve heard “the Tea Party is dead” 3,857 times in the last 2 years.
Next.
Don’t worry castro, we will be quietly marching to the polls on election day.

Most Dems I know deeply fear the Tea Party. They really fear its ability to mobilize and inform people and counter liberal propaganda.
Democrats would also fear the Republican Party if it stood for anything.
So is the collapse of the USA, I’m afraid.
