In the discussion thread: Peter King: Halt donations to House GOP [View all]

79. I wonder if the Tea Party might bolt from the Republican Party when they can't get their way.

I expect the Tea Party will run candidates in primaries against Republican opponents.
I think this happened already.

I expect the early Tea Party primary victories to be short-lived now people see what the Tea Party does.

I can't see what the Tea Party does if it doesn't get its way.

Will the Tea Party stay in the Republican Party and agitate?

Will the Tea Party leave the Republican Party to form their own party?

Will the Tea Party and the Libertarians in the Republican Party leave to form a single party?

Will the Tea Party just close up shop and go away?

I don't see what the Tea Party does.
