I just as soon let the Dems continue to call the shots that are driving us into the crapper. Meanwhile, the Tea Party has work to do cleaning our own house first. We have to start voting out the internal cancer within the Republican party before we can worry about larger roles.
Enjoy for now Dems

I admit I don't really understand politics, so these may be dumb questions: It looks like you're saying that you realize that the GOP may very well not do well in the next X election cycles as it marginalizes the more moderate elements of its party (assuming that happens). Okay, I can see that. So, two questions:
So the plan would be to create a more identifiable, less divided party, one that far more resembles the current Tea Party and moves away from/jettisons the establishment?
The goal would then be to make the party more palatable to the electorate over some period of time?
Also, do you think most in the Tea Party agree with you, or are there many who think they can win in general elections right now?

I think the plan could be to bring the Republican party back towards the center of the isle at a minimum. The consensus is the party has allowed themselves to be pushed left. I do believe they have taken a hands off approach to reeling in a Un-Constitutional POTUS by all legal means available. Those were impeachment or the use of Power of the Purse. They have failed miserably on both accounts which has been noted.

I think it's a mixed bag. i'm not beyond saying we could actually win in some cases but from where I sit, it's more about reforming the Republican party since they have not fielded a single viable candidate in the last two elections. The electorate will follow public opinion.
