The Tea Party was supposed to use movement conservatives & the occasional libertarian to do this. It failed because there was no Tea Party presidential nominee in 2012, so by 2016, voters concluded that the Tea Party couldn't win a presidential election.https://twitter.com/presjpolk/status/1306712627813511168 …

No, but maybe it proves that when led by the suburban wing of the party, movement conservatives are less likely to win the nomination?

I think it's a fair description of Romney, but one data point proves very little.

This probably isn't new, but I was recently thinking that the relationship of progressives to the Dem party is the left's version of the Tea Party relationship to the Republican party. Tea party / progessives can win lower races, but I doubt they'll ever get support for Pres.

I can barely remember the last time a conservative won the Republican nomination, much less the national election.

Mc Cain might have won, but Palin was an “absolutely not” for many. She was not presidential material.

I voted Libertarian that year not because of Palin, but rather McCain. He was no friend to small government conservatives.
