Do not fill this in!=====[[File:TeaParty.png]] The Tea Party===== '''The Tea Party''' was a political movement that was opposed to the [[File:Regulationism.png]] [[Regulationism|policies]] of [[File:Obamium.png]] [[Third Way|The Obama Administration]]. It had close ties to the [[File:RepubUS.png]] The GOP and was based off radical [[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|fiscally conservative]] principals. The movement was divided between the more [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|libertarian]] faction, represented by [[File:RonPaul.png]] [[Libertarian Conservatism|Ron Paul]] and the one tied closer to the [[File:Christianright.png]] [[Religious Nationalism#Christian Right|Christian Right]] within the Republican Party represented by [[File:Palin.png]] [[Conservative Feminism|Sarah Palin]]. The biggest dividing issue was foreign policy, with the former favoring a [[File:Isolation.png]] non-interventionist approach while the latter was much more [[File:Necon.png]] hawkish. The Tea Party's greatest success came in the 2010 midterm elections with many Tea Party candidates beating more establishment GOP candidates in the primary before going on to win the general election. Some notable Tea Party candidates from this election include [[File:MarcoRubio.png]] [[Neoconservatism|Marco Rubio]], [[File:RandPaul.png]] [[Libertarian Conservatism|Rand Paul]], and [[File:Libcon.png]] [[Libertarian Conservatism|Mike Lee]]. Many in the Tea Party movement were early supporters of [[File:Blump.png]] [[Plutocracy|Donald Trump]], with Trump saying in August 2015 "The tea party people are incredible people. These are people who work hard and love the country and they get beat up all the time by the media." A CNN poll in January 2016 showed that 37% of self identified Tea Party voters supported [[File:Blump.png]] [[Plutocracy|Donald Trump]] while the next highest was [[File:Cruz.png]] [[Religious Nationalism#Christian Right|Ted Cruz]] at 34%.
