Re: 2016 Election
The Tea Party is a wacky bunch -- they comprise perhaps 1/5th of the population, yet they believe themselves to be a majority.
They're so skewed and out of touch that they don't understand that political parties need to build coalitions in order to win elections, which means that some bargaining and acceptance of differences is necessary. But these guys think that anyone who would compromise their extreme positions is a sell out who needs to be shouted down.

Of all the Republicans, this is the one guy who I feel has some decent ideas - shrink the military and completely re-do the tax code:
Rand Paul takes a chainsaw to the tax code - Eliza Collins - POLITICO

It won't as it's regressive. All the supporters will add caveats that poor people will get a tax break or extra money, but then it just screws the middle class while the rich get to keep all their cash. Sound familiar?

If he really does run as a third party candidate who knows where this might go.

Backfiring on all sides by some accounts.

Watch the Left's money flood into The Donald's campaign chest for a 3rd Party run if Jeb or Marco gets the nod. Didn't we see that in Kansas with the so-called Independent's (an alleged TEA party guy) run last election?
