What have they "won" on?
They gave Boehner the boot even though he was replaced by the pliable ryno.
Small victories no doubt but these came after the TP had been declared dead several times. The difficulty heretofore has been finding a national candidate that is not tarred w/ the brush of "politician". How to win a political campaign w/o a politician?
I consider their success the fact that they/we are still relevant and that we scare "them' so much.
We are "prickly and hard to eradicate" one of my favorite lines from a favorite movie.
