Lets suppose for a minute that this fantasy about tea party candidates overtaking most of the republican candidates in all districts in the USA was true. Then neither party would compromise anything saying their political agenda accepts no traitors, creating to legislative deadlock, which would produce economical stagnation. That would be the end result, no ifs ands or buts. The ugly truth no one wants to accept is that legislative compromising creates great countries, people nowadays are so polarized with the left/right they only see in black and white (and I do not mean 256 shades of gray monochrome, I mea black and white only).

People that vote have a bigger say. Republicans turn to far right because they know the votes come from there during the primaries. They don't compromise because they will be voted out otherwise. They are just doing what their supporters want them to do.

You have no idea how washington works, the will of the people is worthless since no candidate can be elected without the financial support of corporate america (big pharma, big oil, wall street, hollywood, etc.) so in the end it does not matter what party gets elected, they will vote for what their sponsors ask while playing the "political purity" card to anyone that is watching them.
