There’s a very strong sentiment with conservatives within the GOP base that they had enough with the Republican Party. They feel disrespected by the GOP and one can only take neglect for so long.
The Republican establishment are a bunch of big government, Liberal wannabees that have sold out their principles to be loved by a media that will never give’em the time of day.
Conservatives are looking to bolt if they had a place to land where their views are represented and this latest internal war within the GOP may make history.
The Hill reports the latest fight between Tea Party and establishmentRepublicans is a familiar one: ObamaCare.
The Tea Party is ready to take a stand on defunding the divisive healthcare law and willing to risk a government shutdown in the process.
Establishment Republicans worry the strategy will repeat the Clinton-era government shutdown showdown, which hurt Republicans in the 1996 elections.
Tensions will reach a boiling point after the August recess, when lawmakers start negotiations over how to keep the government open.
In the meantime, old-guard Republicans are sending a clear message to conservatives: The shutdown isn’t worth the risk.
