Sold out Tea Party events in South Carolina this weekend and Iowa next weekend demonstrate that the conservative grassroots are prepared to put in the time and money needed to back a limited government candidate who can win the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016.
More than 1,200 grassroots activists attended this weekend’s three day South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach, where they heard from four potential Presidential candidates: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Dr. Ben Carson, former Senator Rick Santorum, and Donald Trump.
Remarks by Cruz and Dr. Carson, in particular, caught the attention of the mainstream media.

Cruz told Boyle he is looking “very seriously” at running for President in 2016. Support of his potential candidacy among the grassroots and potential donors has been “breathtaking,” Cruz added.
In addition to Cruz, Carson, Santorum, and Trump, several potential presidential candidates who skipped the South Carolina event, including Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, and Scott Walker, will speak at the Iowa event.
Notable in their absence from both the South Carolina and Iowa events are establishment front-runners Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.
Former Governor Sarah Palin will add her star power to the Iowa event.
