Could the Tea Party walk away from the GOP?

Just when you thought there was hope from Judson Phillips, Founder of the Tea Party Nation

During the 2014 elections, there was a sharp divide in the Republican Party. Some in the GOP wanted to crush the Tea Party. Others reached out. In Virginia, Ed Gillespie won the nomination at a convention in June against a Tea Party candidate. He ran his campaign in such a way that he did not demonize the Tea Party or the conservative wing.

After the convention, he immediately reached out to the Tea Party and had complete Tea Party support in his run against incumbent liberal Democrat Mark Warner.

In Louisiana, the previous election of November 4 is a distant memory. Tea Party groups have joined to fight for the election of Bill Cassidy over incumbent liberal Democrat Mary Landrieu.

Just when you think the GOP is getting its act together, we find out the GOP establishment in Washington is selling us out again.

From Breitbart:
Bachmann, who was elected to Congress in 2006 and is ending her service this year, is stupefied by the Republican leadership not taking action or having a plan. “While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage,” she said.

Bannon said he was “stunned” that, on the walk-up to a day that is going to go down as “one of the most important days in constitutional history,” there was no pre existing plan or course of action by the GOP. The Congresswoman asserts that Boehner and the leadership “think that the smarter strategy is to not engage.”

Earlier in the broadcast, co-host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that, after reading Breitbart News’ report on Friday about Republicans flying out of town after Obama’s speech without devising a plan, is evidence that "the Republican establishment doesn't care about Obama passing executive amnesty.”

Marlow mused, “We're having this debate: should there be a lawsuit? Should there be impeachment? Should the government be shut down? What should we be doing?”

Breitbart’s EIC deduced that Republicans don’t have a coherent plan for a reason. “I actually think this is by design. Republicans have wanted comprehensive immigration reform, they wanted cheap labor… they knew this was coming for nine months, and they did absolutely nothing to get the conservative base on the same page. It’s such a colossal failure that I don’t think that it’s possible to fail this badly. All they had to do was pick a plan and rally everyone behind it. They never did it. Now everyone has a different idea of what needs to be done, and they are leaving town without making a decision.”

Bachmann says that her plan is to “frame the debate so that we fight about the president’s unconstitutional power grab on issuing work permits, despite what the president says. It is an illegal action, and he cannot do it. We would win on that fight, and we would win on that argument.”
I have warned for some time that part of the Republican Party wants to let Obama succeed on Amnesty because if it is done now, it takes the issue off of the table in 2016.

Republicans can run against it with the same fervor they have run against Obamacare. They can rail against it while doing nothing.

Getting Amnesty off the table helps the RINO candidates like Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney. Amnesty is the one issue where there can be no compromise.

Either the GOP makes a real fight against Amnesty and actually does something or it is time for conservatives to leave the GOP.
