@mtracey There was almost no mention of the Tea Party from the RNC stage, tho. Just Ted Cruz speaking generically about a movement. -
@daveweigel yeah I know should have been more clear in original tweet

@mtracey Didn't RNC speakers go out of their way to avoid mentioning the tea party? -
@garonsen Yeah I meant fawning in general, not necessarily fawning in speeches. Shoulda been more clear in my tweet. - 1 more reply

@mtracey The tea party didn't get many name-drops at the GOP convention, unless I missed something. -
@Chris_Moody Ted Cruz, but I wasn't referring only to speeches. Should've been more clear in original tweet. - 1 more reply
