De-Tea Partyization
De-Tea Partyization was a period of time in the Republican Party after the historic 2010 Midterm Elections when Establishment operatives sought to target newly-elected conservative members of the GOP caucus and bring them into the fold in spite of the reasons why they were elected.
Before the Tea Party sweep even occured in the 2010 election, members of the GOP were openly stating their intentions. Former Senator Trent Lott stated that "we don't need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples. As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them."[1]
In the coming elections in 2012 and 2014, the GOP spent a large percentage and perhaps more effort to undue the advances of conservatism than it did the advances of Obamunism. Liberal republican Mitt Romney was selected to be the party nominee by party insiders and was seen by many as an affront to the hard work of so many over the last two years.
After 2014 the frustration created by De-Tea Partyization led a majority of conservative primary voters to nominate a (then) non-republican, a complete outsider, as its nominee for the presidency. To the surprise of nearly everybody in both party establishments as well as the media, Donald Trump the outsider would go on to win the Presidency.
