DANIEL STRAUSS JUNE 24, 2014, 10:22 PM EDT
Amy Kremer, a tea party activist and the former chairwoman of the Tea Party Express, warned that if Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) defeated challenger and tea party favorite state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) in the runoff election for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate the "GOP is done."
Amy Kremer @AmyKremer
If Cochran wins this #mssen race, the GOP is done. They teamed up with Dems to steal a race. Kiss the base goodbye.
10:13 PM - 24 Jun 2014
Kremer's tweets came as most of the election results of the runoff had come in. Those results showed Cochran leading McDaniel.
In the weeks before the runoff, Cochran's campaign sought to win over Democratic voters to defeat McDaniel.

(60,536 posts)thinking on her part. In order for Cochran's win to signal the end of the GOP, Kremer and crowd will have to discourage their folks from voting. I seriously doubt that will occur.

One of them had to have been right.
So your generalization is only about 99% true.

The Tea Party could get hundreds of write in candidates on ballots across the United States for 2014.
And in 2016, you could overwhelm and replace your GOP masters!
Do it, you idiots.

(28,270 posts)Republican white supremacists are dying off everyday pretty quickly, taking their hatred of freedom, the poor and working class folks with them.
They will be a stain on American history forever.
