Tea Party Shows Internal Fractures: Rand Paul and Crazy Cruz chuck Insults at One Another

Well it seems that the long knives are coming out early.

As the New York Times detailed over the weekend, and as The Week's Matt Lewis predicted in July, a rivalry is brewing between Tea Party favorites Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Each side is badmouthing the other, saying its rival is unelectable in the 2016 presidential race. Cruz reportedly trashed Paul as fatally linked to his extremist father, while Paul's aides call Cruz "the chief of the wacko birds."

Talk about the pot calling the kettle unelectable. Both guys would get romped by Hillary in 2016 no matter what they did. America just doesn't want a Tea Party President no matter how much Rush Limbaugh wants it to happen.
