>>Every political movement has a tipping point. It goes too far, or it loses its original purpose — or it becomes so self-enamored, under the influence of anger and mob rule, that ugliness shades all the good of its original intent.

As far as I’m concerned the Tea Party has not gone nearly far enough and is nowhere near the tipping point.

Mobs that have gone too far and are well past the tipping point: the gay mob, the affirmative action mob, the welfare gimme dat mob, the punish the rich reward the lazy mob, the global warming mob, the celebrity worship mob, .....

Then how is it that the dumocrats change the rules every time they perceive a loss of their vote? She is clueless.

You never heard the RATS squealing and moaning about not being able to do anything because they only had 1/2 of 1/3 of the power in the District of Coruption. They changed the rules as they went along to pass what they wanted - e.g. using the reconciliation rule in the Senate to jam SCOTUScare down our throats with not one GOP vote and the American population NEVER ever approving of it.

Meanwhile over on the GOP side, they will NOT even use the founders tools that were given to them by using the power of the purse or IMPEACHMENT. And to top that off they handed Obie a blank check to raise the debt ceiling to whatever he wants!!!

Yes, she really is clueless and yes enough is enough.

This month we are going to be treated to more announcements coming out of the LIAR-IN-CHIEF'S pie hole on how is going to set the stage for President Shrillary's eventual gun confiscation, and what will the GOP do? Let's bring another law suit?!?!?!

Completely agree. Thay's why I find this election season so depressing.

What's frustrating is that only Cruz has figured out the obvious strategy. It is okay to disagree with Trump's specific proposals. Just don't dismiss/insult the perfectly valid anger Trump supporters have expressed, or you will forfeit their potential support in the general election even if you win the primary.

“The mob”. You can detect the contempt that they have for the people. They completely deserve our contempt

I agree that Trump is not a conservative. Lots of people, however, couldn’t care any less about party or ideology. I think people are starving for common sense leadership that is going to do what’s truly best for the country and its people. Whether it’s real or only perceived, that’s what Trump’s supporters see in him.
