What all these so-called traditional GOPe enablers who blame the failure of the Republican Establishment on Cruz, Lee and the Tea Party forget is that Zombies may be temporarily defeated, the so-called protagonists are never completely safe. We Zombies, if that’s what you want to call us will ALWAYS come back again - looking for your brains.

Who are the dead and soul-less creatures? democrats and their rino brethren are... and Conservatives are the ZOMBIE RESPONSE TEAM! Remember... ALWAYS DOUBLE TAP...
(1) VOTE OUT A RINO
(2) VOTE IN A TEA PARTY CANDIDATE.
DOUBLE TAP!
The Tea Party will die unless it rids itself of the GOP — and I write this as an almost lifelong Republican.
They, as a rule, couldn't care less if little Biffy starves naked in the streets, unless they can use that for political gain.
They don't give a rat's behind about the Constitution, doing 'the right thing', or the future of the country, because they think their fortunes (see above) will insulate them from all that.
They view the 'common folk' who vote them in as suckers--and they are right.
They are on both sides of the aisle.
They are all members of the same club. We need to drain the swamp.
One faction wants to go along with the Rats to get along, regardless of the spendthrift insanity. They are essentially Democrats Lite - Socialists Lite, satisfied that more government will benefit them the most. Their primary motivations are greed & power. Whether new laws are actually beneficial to the nation & people is irrelevant.
The other faction is based on prudence & morality. These people understand the tyranny & moral decline of the socialist nanny state. They understand the corruption of a system that enriches the ruling class at the expense of the rest of the people. They understand that socialism just makes the poor even poorer, along with everyone else not connected to the elite.
How these 2 factions can reconcile their vast differences is beyond me. That the moral faction would even consider compromise with the power hungry elite is to immediately erode their principles.
Either the conservative, patriotic wing of the Pub party needs to form another party, or they need to throw the corruptocrats out of the Party. That will end the Pub party disunity immediately.
For way too long, conservatives have wrongly tried to compromise good policy with bad, right with wrong. The result is always wrong & bad policy. True + false is always false.
Let's not be duped by warnings of a fatally wounded conservative cause. The biggest problem with conservatism now is that its supposed leaders say one thing & do another. People such as McConnell, Boehner, Rubio are just clever liars, not conservatives. The Pub party is perceived by many as being the party of liars. “Read my lips, ...” kinda liars. I'm among them.
As WRONG as the Rats are, they are loyal to their cause. They actually believe their own propaganda. Conservatives would do well to rid themselves of big government RINOs within their midst, & start speaking with one firm, determined, conservative voice. I suggest Ted Cruz as that voice.
The GOP is a 19th Century relic that really is a zombie. It’s a statist crony-capitalist party that wanted big government and big business to industrialize the country.
The GOP elite never accepted the reality of the ground shifting from the New Deal and the New Left taking over the Democrats. America wants a conservative party, and the GOP thinks too much of itself to do what the public wants.
