You're kind of a wild eyed "sky is falling" type of guy, aren't you Smurf? Don't know what kind of change you think the Tea Party is responsible for within the GOP, but you can keep it.
Tea Party support is at an all time low according to a recent CBS poll. Currently, 15% of Americans say they are supporters of the Tea Party, down from their 2010 highest level of support at 31%. They are becoming irrelevant, Smurf...just a handful of Ted Cruz/Sarah Palin groupies mindlessly chasing after windmills.
