He doesn’t consider the voters. It is just him and his money.

Notice Jill is on top of the sign. She will be on top in the white house if they win.

It is going to be the biggest cat fight ever, Jill, Kamala, and Nancy. Toss in AOC. Nancy will kick Joe out if Kamala agrees to certain things. On the other hand she may keep Joe in if Jill goes along. But when is the word of a Democrat worth anything?

Joe is just Mr. Magoo with no charm.

Turns out that the Kochs are a mess.

Anti-American.

Diesel is less of a problem.

The F-150 I currently use shuts the engine off at stop lights.

It’s good for fuel economy.

If you have to keep your engine on at the gas station, you should buy a new battery.

That is all true. Especially the gimme amnesty for illegals prior to 2006. That was the nail.

Just another jillionaire traitor. Congrats wall street pigs, you’re turning me into half a Bernie Sanders. ;-)

You really think that is why the country “abandoned” the Tea Party?

It was because they over reached. They lost focus. They allowed themselves to be divided. It tried to become “the conservative” party, when that isn’t what it was. When it reached into social issues, it fell apart.

It’s too bad— they could have had an impact.

And you will be a small group.

There is a desire to go on. If Trump wins, that’s great. If he doesn’t, the GOP will be full of wannabes trying to hold on. It won’t work.

There needs to be a plan B. And we better start thinking about what that is before the core of “this” movement dies of old age, or stupid attempts at violence.

the Koch brothers thought they could use there money to control the tea party. when they figured out they could not. The Koch brothers then participated in trying to destroy it.

What “country”?

The establishment GOP actively worked against them. They were not a political party in and of themselves, although you seem to want to characterize them as such.

I don’t know what you mean by “social issues”, but are you really prepared to allow abominations like BLM and Antifa to win when it comes to their social doctrine?

If you were not so interested in being dramatic and thought about what I wrote you would be able to understand it.

But, I guess you will be one of those we lose to stupid attempts at violence.

And you don’t know what social issues are? And you wonder why we keep losing.

The Turtle and Ryan killed the Tea party. We all saw it happen.

I know exactly what social issues are. The left has pushed their perverted version of that on the USA for more than a half-century. Are you sure you know what they are?

God knows what they are too. No nation that ignores social issues, particularly the moral ones, will prosper.

BTW, your new post is called “argumentum ad lapidem”. You have not established that the Tea Party “lost” anything to the general public; certainly the 2016 election was a vindication of what they stand for.

Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back Charlie. I was an original member of the Staten Island TEA Party and a board member. We sprung up and grew and never even heard of you so STFU.
