The Tea Party unseated several incumbent Republicans here in TX and you feel they are crushed?

Are you just going to keep ignoring the facts? Dream world you live in?

less than 2% turn out by Dim voters. They apparently see the writing on the wall.

Far from "crushed".

It's like I said b4 to OT, if the Tea Party gains one new seat, then they are increasing influence, not being crushed, but I don't think he is too good with math... :wink:

Sorry to crush your little fantasy world- but Texas ISN'T all the country... There are 49 other states- where the Tea Partyiers didn't fare very well at all...
Which if you looked at the facts--is why the Republican party is cheering- because now they have a chance of actually winning in those general elections....

ABC News’ Shushannah Walshe and Barbara Schmitt report:

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — In a nail biter of a race, six-term incumbent Thad Cochran has defeated his tea party challenger State Sen. Chris McDaniel in the Mississippi GOP Senate primary run-off. With 98.1 percent percent of the vote in, Cochran bested McDaniel 50.7 percent to 49.3 percent, a difference of less than 4,800 votes, according to The Associated Press.

Rep. James Lankford won the Oklahoma Senate GOP nomination outright on Tuesday over primary opponent T.W. Shannon, despite polls for most of the race showing the two locked in a tight race and headed to an expected August runoff.

Lankford received 56 percent of the vote – well over the 50-percent threshold need to avoid the runoff, while Shannon received 36 percent, according to the Associated Press, with 74 percent of precincts reporting. Former state Sen. Randy Brogdon received 4 percent and the rest of the candidates received roughly 4 percent combined.

Shannon’s failure to push the race to a runoff is a blow to prominent conservative groups, who invested $1.7 million into the race but mostly focused on the Mississippi Senate runoff in the closing weeks.

The former state House speaker, who is biracial — an African-American member of the Chickasaw Nation — had been seen as a rising star in the Republican Party, which has struggled in making inroads with minorities. At a rally in April with Shannon and Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, Sarah Palin called Shannon “the whole package.”

Former Rep. Bob Beauprez won the Colorado GOP primary for governor on Tuesday, besting immigration hardliner Tom Tancredo as the Republican establishment breathed a sigh of relief.

With 80 percent of precincts reporting, Beauprez raked in 30.3 percent of the vote. Tancredo followed with 26.6 percent; Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler with 23.4 percent; and Mike Kopp, former state Senate minority leader, took 19.7 percent, according to The Associated Press.

Many in the Colorado establishment, along with outside figures such as Mitt Romney and Eric Cantor, backed Beauprez, ultimately coming to see him as the most electable candidate to take on Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in November.

“Bob ran a disciplined primary campaign, and we’re proud to have such a fine leader, family man, and small businessman as our nominee for governor,” state GOP Chairman Ryan Call said in a statement, adding that “Beauprez is a leader who will bring our state together after years of divisiveness from Governor Hickenlooper.”

The GOP establishment’s fear was that Tancredo would kill their shot at the governor’s mansion in this Democratic-leaning state — and even worse, that his name on the ticket could cause problems for other Republicans on the ballot because of his history of making highly controversial statements.

Bad day for the Tea Party and ultra conservatives and rightwingernuts...Bad day for the Dems- as they picked up tougher challengers...

The Republican Party is probably happy, since they now stand a chance of keeping/winning these seats - while the Dems are sad, as they wanted to run against the more extremist right wingers and Tea Party candidates who they see much easier to beat....

"Crushed"? Nope. Losing by 2% is not a "Crush". Besides, buying votes is the norm for "Democrats" in Mississippi.
Tea Party candidate weighs legal options (Mississippi runoff)
The Hill | June 25, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe


Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) primary challenger Chris McDaniel is looking into possible legal routes to challenge Cochran’s runoff win.

Multiple sources tell The Hill that the campaign is evaluating their options after Cochran orchestrated an improbable win over McDaniel on Tuesday night, defeating the challenger by about 6,300 votes.

The campaign’s concerns hinge on heavily African-American Hinds County, which includes the state capital of Jackson and where nearly 70 percent of the residents are black and the voting population is more Democratic than most counties in the state. Cochran netted about 7,000 more votes there in the runoff than the first round of primary voting.

Cochran won the county during the first round of primary voting by a sizable margin, but the significantly increased turnout there this time around helped his lead.

More voters in Hinds County backed Cochran in the runoff — 17,927 — than the total number that turned out in the first round of GOP primary voting (16,640). Turnout increased by about 50 percent from the primary to the runoff, and Cochran expanded his portion of the vote from 66 percent to 72 percent.

That difference of 7,000 more votes than what he netted in the June 4 primary was critical to his slim margin of victory statewide. McDaniel picked up about 1,300 more votes from the primary to the runoff in Hinds County.

McDaniel seemed to hint at the likelihood of a legal challenge in a speech to supporters after the Associated Press called the race for Cochran.

“Before this race is over we have to make absolutely certain the Republican primary was won by Republican voters,” McDaniel said.

“Today the conservative movement took a backseat to liberal Democrats in the state of Mississippi,” said the state senator, adding that “there were literally dozens of irregularities” and “you know why.”

Cochran’s team made no secret of their efforts to turn African American Democratic voters out to the polls in the runoff, but the move drew heavy criticism from conservatives, some of whom have charged such a tactic may be illegal.

Mississippi election law allows Democrats who did not vote in the first primary round to vote in the GOP runoff, but conservatives backing McDaniel have argued the law prevents voters from supporting a candidate in the primary that they don’t plan to back in the general election.

That portion of the law is difficult to enforce, however, so it’s unclear how McDaniel’s campaign will challenge the ballot count.

McDaniel’s team suggested Hinds County GOP Chairman Pete Perry may be at fault.

Perry was paid by pro-Cochran Mississippi Conservatives PAC to conduct unspecified get-out-the-vote efforts for Cochran, a move that raised questions about a potential conflict of interest between Perry’s duties as county GOP chairman and his work for the Cochran campaign.

Perry was later accused by Mississippi Democratic Party Chairman Ricky Cole of possibly paying an African-American Democratic political operative thousands of dollars to be used in a vote-buying scheme to turn out African American Democrats for Cochran in the runoff.

When contacted by The Hill, Perry denied any wrongdoing.

“I did not do anything wrong. My party ran the primary. We did not do anything wrong, period,” Perry said, and then hung up the phone abruptly.

Yep. Lankford was also a Tea Party candidate in 2010. OT has never let facts get in the way of a good lie. He's let the media convince him of everything they wanted to.

Lankford’s support on the ballot is stronger among tea party voters (55%) than non-tea party voters (48%).

No matter what Palin & Cruz wanted, the voters liked Coburn and wanted someone like him. The important thing is that the Repubs will keep the seat. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It's still evident you DO NOT KNOW what the Tea Party is all about. It's a loosely based bunch with differing ideas from all around the country, unlike the Dem cult that walks in lockstep with each other on every issue throughout.

Are you really as stupid as you seem?
Rep. James Lankford rode a late-in-the-race boost from Oklahoma's retiring Republican Sen. Tom Coburn to snatch the party's primary nod Tuesday in a battle that had been dubbed a "conservative showdown."

With 81.8 percent of the vote counted, Lankford glided to victory with 56.3 percent against former state House Speaker T. W. Shannon's 35.3 percent.

There was little difference between the conservative candidates on policy issues, but Lankford had come under fierce attack as "too establishment" from tea party groups that backed Shannon, and the race remained tight, the Washington Examiner noted.

FiveThirtyEight.com called the battle a "conservative showdown" among a crowded field competing to succeed Coburn, who has battled cancer and is retiring two years before his term is up.

With the victory Tuesday, Lankford will be the heavy favorite to retain Coburn's Republican seat in the fall.

Breitbart noted the turning point in the race came June 12.

When the Senate Conservatives Fund bought a statewide commercial that declared Lankford supported raising the debt ceiling and would "never change Washington," Coburn, who had vowed to stay neutral, released a statement blasting "advertisements by groups such as Senate Conservatives Fund and Oklahomans for a Conservative Future" that he said "simply aren't truthful" and "mischaracterize James Lankford's service in Congress."

"I have come to know James Lankford in his short but very productive time in Washington, and I know he is a man of absolute integrity," Coburn said, Breitbart noted. "We haven't always agreed, but he is one of the most honest, thoughtful and sincere men I have met in my time in Washington."

Lankford took his words and ran with them, running TV ads and sending mailers across the state with Coburn's quotes and picture, Breitbart reported.

Sooner Poll's Bill Shapard told the news site that the "timing" of Coburn's statement was crucial, noting that two in three Oklahoma GOP primary voters said it was "very important" to elect someone who would vote like Coburn.

The Tea Party's Alamo?



By Alexandra Jaffe

Establishment Republicans believe a successful night of primaries on Tuesday — in particular Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) surprising defeat of challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) in a runoff — effectively neutered the Tea Party for the foreseeable future.


Steve LaTourette, a former Ohio Republican congressman who is currently president of Main Street PAC, a group seeking to elect moderate, compromise-minded Republicans, compared the Cochran-McDaniel race to the Battle of the Alamo, a turning point in the Texas Revolution.
“We did consider [the Mississippi Senate race] to be sort of the Alamo, and we knew if we were successful down here that the narrative would be a lot better heading into the fall and 2016,” he said.

“I don’t think [Tea Party candidates] have the ability to sneak up on people anymore.”
---------------------------------------

LaTourette admitted that if McDaniel had won, “it would have emboldened [conservatives]…and it also would have sent a message to those who serve to be obstructionists.”

He said it should now be easier to for the GOP to forge a middle path with an eye on 2016, where conservative positions on everything from gay marriage to immigration reform to education funding that play well in GOP primaries tend to hobble Republican nominees in the general.

“You should cooperate, and also govern the country. You don’t have to abandon any conservative principles to do that,”
LaTourette said.

let me put it this way for OT to understand.. Democrats backed a rino..

the unions and minority "democrats" voted for a rino..

and if I lived in Mississippi he would know that I would do him the same favor in November.. by voting for the other guy,.. or gal..

this wasn't a defeat for the TEA party.. it was a slimy tactic by the establishment.

if you want to cheer slime then so be it..

gloat all the way to the DC swamp... if that is what makes you happy..

By Jessica Taylor and Cameron Joseph

The Tea Party’s much-hyped war on GOP Senate incumbents is officially a bust.

With Sen. Lamar Alexander’s (R-Tenn.) victory on Thursday night, conservative groups have failed to net a single incumbent scalp this cycle. No other GOP incumbents face major primary challenges this year.

Its refreshing to see that more folks are coming to their common senses and realizing the values and ideas of the 1850's being sold by the Tea Party crew is not what they want... The majority want the country to move forward- not backward...
They want representatives that put their oath to their country ahead of their oath to a character named Grover (or a Grand Poobah of the Triple K) ...

My biggest fear now is that these Tea Party folks are still going to keep raising cain- keep splitting the Republican Party just enough that they get Hillary elected President in 2016...

Tea Party is doing exactly as intended. That is, pushing the incumbent candidates more to the "Right" instead of allowing them to wander & go "Left".

Slow and easy always works best.

OT, your sloganeering doesn't fit the situation. The tea party opposes oppressive government. Yes, taxation is government oppression. You pick some arbitrary date to suggest represents the tea party, but if you're going to do that, go back to the constitutional foundation. Again you demonstrate your confusion about tea party principles.
