I don't agree with your assessment. The Tea Party is still here. They're still by and large Cruz supporters who want an extreme cutback on government and a renewed focus on socially restrictive policies.topdawgnc said:Back when Obama was elected a group of firebrand Republicans saw him as a meal ticket.
They created a thing called the Tea Party. This would fire up the grassroots and make the GOP a power party with grassroots made up of roughnecks who felt colored folk were taking their jobs.
Well ... they took advantage of those folk. Played them for fools, thought they would go away.
Problem is they created a Frankenstein ... and the Frankenstein has found a voice in Donald Trump.
Nobody cares what his policy on XYZ is ... just that he is going to go kick ass.
I'm not sure he can beat Cruz one on one ... but we're about to find out.
Trump's supporters are all over the spectrum politically, but for the most part are not disillusioned Tea Partiers. They're disillusioned everythings. They are the culmination of decades of a GOP (and to a lesser extent, the democrats) that hasn't come through for them; whether it be on issues of immigration, the domestic economy, or foreign policy. So they've now been drawn to the candidate who has boiled down all of that frustration into one single authoritarian message: "We will win, and I will get my way on every policy issue".
Both camps have been let down by the GOP, but for very different reasons. Zakaria sums it up pretty well in this column:

This is why Trump sucks in closed primary states but dominates when they're open. He has just as much support outside of the GOP as he does inside of it.
The best thing for Trump would be Sanders winning the nomination, because the GOP would have to vote for him then. If it's Hillary I think a lot of people stay home. -

It's funny how Bernie supporters cling to the idea that the rich will be able to afford all the "free" shit they're getting. They're voting everyone off the cliff and they don't even realize it. And the government cronies will still get rich. LOL.

But you sound mad, which makes me think you definitely are.
Maybe try not being such a fucking loser.
Or take my advice and end the suffering before your guns get taken away. -
