From the clip: “What Ted Cruz did last year was suicidal,” King said, alluding to the Cruz-engineered government shutdown that cost the GOP mightily in the polls last October. “I hope that doesn’t become party policy. So we can’t allow Eric’s defeat last night allow the Ted Cruzes and Rand Pauls to take over the party, or their disciples to …

A Tea Party candidate for the Oklahoma House is under fire for a Facebook exchange in which he endorsed stoning homosexuals to death.

“Congratulations to Dave Brat in Virginia on such an encouraging victory tonight!

“The week’s worst moments in conservative media.”

Sen. Paul is apparently tweeting from the Texas GOP convention. The quotation marks presumably mean that somebody else just said that. I have a feeling this tweet will be remembered come 2016.

Evan Gahr writes at Daily Beast: Dr. Ben Carson, the Republican right’s favorite African-American neurosurgeon, often says that President Obama’s health care law is the worst thing since slavery. But in my recent interview with the good doctor—who is riding high in the presidential preliminaries, having come in a close second to Sen. Ted Cruz this past weekend in the …

Sarah Palin was in Mississippi over the weekend in advance of today’s GOP Senate primary in which Tea Party challenger Chris McDaniel hopes to topple 36-year veteran Sen. Thad Cochran. The campaign exploded into scandal two weeks ago when a McDaniel supporter snuck into an adult care facility to photograph Cochran’s wife, who is being treated for Alzheimer’s. Also in …
