Harvard Prof: Tea Party Not Going Anywhere, More Likely to Win

 by Tony Lee 29 Dec 2013 2168 post a comment
A government and sociology professor at Harvard writes that the Tea Party is more likely than not to "win in the end" in an age when Americans are becoming more removed from Washington and distrusting the federal government and their elected officials.

"Tea Party forces will still win in the end," Theda Skocpol writes, unless moderate Republicans can defeat them. Skocpol concedes that the Tea Party "will triumph just by hanging on long enough" as Americans are getting fed up by "our blatantly manipulated democracy and our permanently hobbled government."

The article, "Why The Tea Party Isn't Going Anywhere," was first published in the journal Democracy, and later reprinted in The Atlantic.

No, but 53% of the country is.   And they keep winning elections as a result. 

Repubs can keep the house- because so much of it is based on SMALL county districts - and yes, the majority of counties are repub.

but when it comes to NATIONAL elections - Dems are unfortunately going to keep winning the prez elections by a mile, or Repubs will barely squeak out wins.  That's the last 6 elections: 4 dem blowouts, 2 repub wins by a single state with plenty of lawsuuits and questions.

I cheered all the way in 2000... as the repubs quickly got the supreme court to stop the recount, as Gore was about to win... would he have taken it without their intervention?  We all know the answer lol.  That would have been 5/6 elections. 

Repubs - unite... you can't be half tea party, half rino.  Doesn't work anymore
