TP of VA brought this upon themselves when they voted for a Convention to select a candidate vs primary. In essence it was a power grab that insured TP backed candidate will be selected vs risking not thru a normal primary. This has ticked off not only establishment GOP but also moderate GOP members. Tea Party need to learn from this, if we are strong and have the support of the people we do not need to stoop to Parliamentary manueuvers to win. It also sets off very bad feelings. GOP of VA will have to work these hard feelings off before unity is re established. Problem with setting off party civil war, is the Dems will take advantage of it.

A primary that is controlled by the Collaborators, which represents out-of-state moneyed interests. No thanks. A grass-roots convention sounds a hell of a lot better.

So what you are saying is establishment/moderate republican support is one way. You support any and all of their candidates and if the establishment candidate should not be chosen and a conservative candidate is on the ballot well then it’s every man for himself.

Big tent party my furry butt.
