GOP, Boehner failed Tea Party

The Tea Party is in trouble. Now that the hens have flown the coop, their leaders remembered they failed to collect the eggs. Too bad. 

Their leadership supported the Republican elites for the 2014 elections, but were quickly discarded by John Boehner last week. It was predictable. They no longer need the Tea Party for anything, and their first order of business was to destroy them, when they should have attacked the Democrats. 

The reason Boehner gave was retribution for insubordination to the speaker of the House and the Republican Party, the exact opposite of what they did. The political truth is the Republican Party no longer has any need for their support. The vestige of the Tea Party can now fight for survival, but never again for leadership. Their dance ticket has been punched, and the music is over. 

In 2016, we will witness a changing of the presidential guard from Democrat to Republican, as it does every eight years, but the continuation of worldwide economic freefall for the middle-class will continue. Even multinational corporations are fleeing. Apple computers surrendered U.S. residency for Ireland, as did Burger King for Canada last year, while over a thousand American corporations are presently working in China. 

I assume the Tea Party could have withdrawn support for the GOP in the 2014 election, to cause a temporary collapse of their power-wielding elites. But naive leadership and dissension within, locally and nationally, led them to accept an IOU from John Boehner. 

Rep. Boehner grew up with seven brothers in poverty, and obviously is street-wise and calculating. So, America continues to move towards economic instability, terrorism, and the rise of Chinese dominance internationally.
