Agreed. The tea party has been the best thing for the GOP. They lost some senate seats but the reality is the establishment GOP worked with the Dems to lose tea party seats. That's what happened to Allen west in my district. Pelosi an reid heavily funded patrick Murphy and Boehner gave zero money to the west campaign. And Murphy won by hijinx at the st Lucie county election board during the counts. It was razor close.
