(27,787 posts)The Tea Party is the part of the GOP that is the most racist, most emotional, most likily to blurt out something in appropriate.
Its their id. That part of the psyche that has not conscience and no filter. The part that wants what it wants, now. Its their inner toddler.
So, when the GOP establishment has to deal with one of these nutjobs in a primary, the best way to deal with it is to encourage the id to act out.
The GOP normally works to suppress their id. They remind these nut jobs to only use racist terms within certain circles. They wink and nod at them to let them knew they agree, but that its not socially acceptable to blurt out those things no matter how much they want to.
So they best way to beat one of these nuts, is to let them loose. Let them speak their mind.
Sooner of later, they'll blurt out something insane. And then be surprised that everyone thinks they are crazy.
