Not for a while; like 2 years.

Doesn't matter anyway. With the likes of Newt and Santorum, they don't really need the re-branding of the far-right that the TP provided anymore. They aint gonna be the nominees though, and the far right will get really mad. But the far right is always mad. It's just them. Could be they'll try another angle next time, but they'll still be what they are and be equally irrelevant at that.
