This forum is read by people from all 50 states and some in foreign countries. Saying that someone is supported by Tea Party types doesn’t tell us much about issues such is immigration, amnesty, foreign policy and other issues beyond budget and spending issues.
This race was not well known to a wide audience and hasn’t been discussed like the Mississippi and Tennessee senate races.
True, but, if a candidate is supported by the Tea Party you pretty well know what he/she stands for. Same for the candidate supported by the RINO establishment. If I’m passing thru a town and I see a Baptist church on one corner and a Catholic church on another corner, I have a good idea what each of them stand for and what values and beliefs they hold to.
