I wonder how this guy feels about when the tea party guy won the Alaska primary and then the GOPe supported the loser’s write-in efforts, eventually getting her elected?
"The time has come to take a stand and say no to the tea party. No to their obstruction. No to their disrespectful treatment of the first African-American president. If we do nothing, tea party candidate Chris McDaniel wins and causes even more problems for President Obama. With your help we can stop this. Please commit to voting against tea party candidate Chris McDaniel next Tuesday and say ‘no’ to the tea party!"
So here's the takeaway:
And we see how GOP treats Tea Party Dave Brat

Big difference between Cantor and Cochran processes. Cantor was soundly defeated without fraud. McDaniel was robbed by fraud; Cochran needs to be disciplined severely for his treachery.
To demolish Feehery’s theory or whatever, one needs only look at the Lankford - Shannon results. Lankford defeated Shannon fairly and as a result those with a Tea Party state of mind accept it and support Lankford in November.
If Cochran had won fairly without calling for fraud to rob McDaniel of victory, Tea Partiers would be behind Cochran in November.
As for others, McConnell-McCain-Graham, Tea Partiers cannot stand these people because they are slimy weasels in character, dishonest and duplicitous, and big goverment statists. No matter what their election results were or will be, they are not the face of the Republican Party that Tea Partiers want to see. It is difficult to support such people in any scenario.
Others like Cornyn that won against weak Tea Party supported candidates will get votes in November from Tea Party folks. The votes will not be enthusiastically made but will be there because Cornym and his ilk are followers and will follow conservative leaders like Ted Cruz.
Feehery’s remarks and comments are selective and biased as a result; his view is not worth the bandwidth he has received on FR.
what an idiot...Bob La Folette was an avoid Progressive (I don’t care that he claimed to be a ‘Republican’). This so called consultant has his history WRONG. May I simply point out that both parties wanted ‘Ike” as their candidate....he never claimed to be anything other than what he was a kind of wishy washy politician who happened to be in charge when the war was won by those that did.
I never heard of him before this so if I saw him I wasn’t impressed...still not.
John Feehery looks stoned in that photo.
Thanks. With that, you just neutered the stupid bastard’s whole article.
“We love immigrants. We don’t like lawbreakers or those who can’t tell the difference.”
I’m with you. My wife of 43 years is an immigrant from south of the border. Legal, that is.
Isn’t it amazing how the gopE talk but don’t hear what they say? They support the nominee no matter what? Are you kidding me?
The gopE says “Come join us or we’ll all lose.” I say TO the gopE “Come join us because with you we’ve already lost.”
using this guy’s logic, when Mcdaniel won the first primary Cochran should have stood down, not done another and supported McDaniel.
Play dirty, butthead, and you’ll suffer the consequences. So we should lay down and say “Please, sir, may I have another ?”
It’d be one thing if Turd had won legitimately. Playing the race card and fostering racism is NOT legitimate. It’s utterly despicable.
Slime doesn’t deserve allegiance.
And I like it well enough I’m going to give money to Travis Childers !
