Tea Party "Dead?"

“The Tea Party still rules in Texas. In an otherwise humbling election year for tea party challengers across the U.S., conservative insurgents in the Lone Star State keep winning like it’s 2012. None were bigger than fiery conservative talk radio host Dan Patrick, the Tea Party Caucus founder in the Texas Legislature, ousting longtime Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in a symbolic signal of GOP restlessness. Anti-establishment Republicans also were favored in key statehouse runoffs, leaving Republicans poised to push Texas even further right on abortion, gun rights and spending come 2015.” What? I thought the tea Party was dead. I even heard Sean Hannity say so on the radio. Looks like reports of its death are a little premature. But then, most of the reports come from liberal sources, and you know what that’s worth. (The Blaze)
