What is the difference between the Tea Party and the Republican Party?
It is sorta like when the NAZIS had the Storm Troopers, the SA, and then added the SS, then when the SS was up and running they added the Gestapo (Yes, I know people tend to get them mixed up). Often a parent party feels the need to have 'allies' and so it creates bogus fictional groups that supposedly exist independent of the main party and just happen to have the same opinions & interests/goals. Actually this is what the Republican Party has been doing: claiming that the Tea Party is a group of enraged citizens who just want better government but that argument gets shot in the foot because if the Tea Party is independent then why have they not supported a single Democrats? I just call them all Teapublicans. Peace/////\\\\\
Who would be considered a viable Republican candidate for President in 2020?
This would all be predicated on Trump not running in 2020. If he does then the only person I could see contending with him for the nomination just might be John Kasich. If,however, for some reason either legal or health issues (or impeachment) Trump does not decide to run than I am sure that John Kasich would run and so would Nikki Haley. Probably also Ted Cruz. Other than them I am not well-versed enough with the personnel of the Republica party to know for sure who else might have aspirations to become the POTUS.
If 85% of the tea party thing Gingwitch is an acceptable candidate, will they give up their bible thumping?
Isn't that what the tea party made itself know as? Gun toting and bible thumping, God loving Christians. Gingwitch is as about as Christian as Hitler, maybe less. Isn't that a contradiction to everything they believe in? During one of the upcoming debates (are there more), he's going to go up in flames. If he's the Republican candidate he'll definitely go up in flames during the Presidential debates. He is the son of Satan. He's a liar, adulterer, cheater and those are the nice things i can think of.

Is the Tea Party an actual political party?
The Tea Party has been on the news recently and seem to be making a big impact in everything they're trying to do. I've been told that they're not an actual political party though, just mainly an organization. Does anyone know if they really are one?
Why don't the Republicans expel the Tea Party?
A better question may in fact be the reverse. The true tea party, circa 2008, was actually formed in opposition to W. Bush's idea for a corporate bailout and in opposition of career politicians. The original actually looked a lot like the more radical Occupy Movement of the 12s with its focus against corporate and governmental abuse. Unfortunately, every good idea attracts the weirdos too, and they tend to pound their drums louder and get more attention than the more moderate members of similar ideological inclination. If the Tea Party could oust it's radicals or at least quiet then down, it's platform (anti-government-supported-corps and anti-career-politicians) could be a huge selling point with independents for the Republicans and move them forward in the Presidential Election.
