The Tea party was formed in 2009 as a result of the political class; initially mostly Democrats but now the democrats and the establishment Republicans, taking over healthcare after causing the housing bubble that almost brought down the country. The banks were not innocent but the root cause was the federal government and congress.

In 2008 the GOP didn’t run a real  candidate if it wasn’t for Sara McCain wouldn’t have won a single state.

In 2010 the tea party gave the Republicans the House

In 2012 the GOP ran an inept campaign and lost the Presidency

In 2014 the tea party gave the Republicans the House and the Senate

By the spring of 2015 it was clear that nothing had changed the GOP was no different than the Democrats

The GOP apparently not understanding the hated in the citizens for what the political class was doing to the country  picked Jeb Bush to be the parties next nominee for the Presidency. Unfortunately Jeb is for everything the Tea Party is against; so Trump steps in and shoots straight to the top in the ratings.

The political class can’t understand how this could happen and so Fox and the GOP devise a plan to take out Trump in the first debate. Megan Kelly was picked to the hit person and it was her goal to take out Trump. Trumps responses to her assault on him (they were not legitimate questions) were justified by what she did. Like it or not when you attack someone don’t be surprised when they hit back. Trump is not a girly man like the rest of the castrated GOP, Ted Cruz excluded.

If the GOP doesn’t like us and they drive out Trump and he runs on a third party ticket well we can support him or vote Libertarian. Further If enough of us did that it might be possible to prevent either the R’s and D, from getting enough electoral votes to be declared the winner.

Today a President must win 270 electoral votes, a majority, to become President. If no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for Presidential election by the House of Representatives with each State delegation receiving one vote. Twice in our history, the House of Representatives has chosen the President — Thomas Jefferson’s election in 1801 and John Quincy Adams’ election in 1825.

The tea party caucus in the House would then have the power to pick a president. Maybe this should be our goal.
