Good point. They (and many Tea candidates) forget who brought them to the dance.
No one brought me to the dance. I play guitar in the band.
I’m not very familiar with Tea Party candidates, but I know many of the pundits who rode the TP train to fame & fortune.
It’s mind-boggling now to see so many of them acting as Establishment mouthpieces, rather than support the only candidate who actually does seem willing to address some issues even if it means offending some ppl.
I am not personally “for” candidates who want to “lift people up” and find “middle ground”. So hearing a candidate who goes against that thinking, is refreshing.
