White House political advisor David Plouffe claimed that even after a string of tea party defeats in last week’s primaries, the Republican Party is still dominated by extremists — mocking the exuberance of the GOP establishment by noting “so maybe they don’t pledge allegiance to ALL the crazy.”David Plouffe thinks living in a big city, with one party rule (with bad public schools) isn't crazy.
Plouffe made the remarks Sunday during ABC’s “This Week,” interrupting an argument between Republican strategist Ana Navarro and ABC contributor Matthew Dowd on whether the tea party’s poor showing last week means the fiscally conservative movement has co-opted the GOP.
“I think the Republican Party — because of the tea party — the GOP in general has moved more to the right and has adopted the principles,” Dowd claimed. “There’s not much difference anymore between tea party people and the establishment people. They have almost become one.”
