    Especially as Odumbo resorts to more desperate and illegal choices. By the time he leaves office he may be the punch line of every late night TV host.

    The voyager space probe did what it set out to do as well, and then NASA said "You know what? Since we accomplished that, let's push the envelope."

    Like every good revolution, the Tea Party has a long runway. But yes, it accomplished it's objective, which was to influence the narrative.

    Don't be a hater!

    Hey, just because your call in this thread was a great fade, doesn't mean you have to get all pissy about it.

    Yes. If Covertibility can branch out with some similar "critiques" in stock calls, it'd be appreciated.

    "The Brookings Institution has been tracking the elections via The Primaries Project, a data-based effort led by journalist Jill Lawrence that tracks primary candidate according to their ideology. The data shows the election results have been devastating for the Tea Party: Through the June 24th elections, Tea Party candidates won a total of 24 elections, and lost 118. Only two Tea Party -backed candidates have beaten incumbents so far-- Dave Brat in Virginia's 7th District; and John Ratcliffe in the Texas 4th, who beat 91-year-old Ralph Hall in a runoff contest.

    "In a special election in Oklahoma to replace Senator Tom Coburn, James Lankford, the establishment candidate, used the support of local Tea Party groups to beat Tea Party candidate T.W. Shannon, who had the support of national Tea Party groups."

    ROFL.
