Do people still care about the Tea Party? They've proven to be politically extremely ineffective. Their mission has been to drive the Republican party to the right, purge it of it's moderates. They managed to win a bunch of primaries and thus lose a bunch of general elections. For example 10 years ago there were 7 pro-choice Republicans in the Senate and dozens in the house. Today there is 2 in the Senate (Susan Colins and Mark Kirk.) and a very small handful in the house.
I have a feeling this is the death shudder of Social conservatism.
