The tea party movement is alive and well, despite non-stop attacks from Democrats over its three-year existence, says Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
In a Politico column, he offers a laundry list of tea partyers’ accomplishments, saying they "energized a conservative movement battered by eight years of bloated Republicanism."
Other key accomplishments of the conservative groups include:
- they shocked the political world by taking Ted Kennedy’s seat;
- they put Obama Democrats in a constant defensive crouch;
- they led the resistance against Obamacare;
- they helped bring about the largest legislative landslide in U.S. history in 2010;
- they grabbed six seats in the U.S. Senate that year;
- they helped elect six governors;
- they helped win 700 seats in state legislatures; and
- they helped elect a Republican majority that included the largest number of Republicans elected since 1946.
