In a year where Russ Feingold and Ike Skelton lost, it's possible that a genuine conservative candidate would have outperformed sleaze-bag Martin at the polls. They turned off true conservatives by pretending to be one thing while actively working towards another. Louis tea party shot themselves in the foot by pretending to be a grassroots movement while supporting corrupt GOP operatives like Ed Martin and Roy Blunt. I think there are a couple of lessons to draw from this. Only 700 people voted for Ivanovich and Hendrick in the primary: nearly 9,000 voted for them over Ed Martin in the general election. Louis Tea Party are precisely the people who decided that they would rather vote for a third party candidate than the Republican. In other words, it sure looks like the Tucker and Wallace supporters marginalized and insulted by the St. However, in the election yesterday, Hendrick got 5,757 votes and Ivanovich got 3,151. In that election, constitution party candidate Nicholas Ivanovich only received 277 votes, and Libertarian candidate Steven Hendrick only got 418. Rusty Wallace, another Republican challenger, received 7478 votes. Now for the interesting part: in the Republican primary, Ed Martin only won 63% of the vote, and John Wayne Tucker, despite being ignored by the St. Dana Loesch, who's husband's business Shock City Studios was paid $5,000 by Ed Martin, went on a Twitter tirade against Tucker, despite never mentioning him previously while having Martin on as a guest multiple times. Louis tea party was in the bag for Martin from the beginning, blacklisting Tucker from their events and even personally attacking him. In the Republican primary, corrupt Republican insider Ed Martin was running against a true grassroots conservative named John Wayne Tucker. They are not American patriots they’re weasels.However, it seems to me that the election results tell a very clear story. These selfish people put themselves and their egos above the country. Dana Loesch said she was "infuriated at third party foils." Bill Hennessy wrote the following about third party candidates: In an election when America needed everyone to subdue personal ambition for the greater good, two egomaniacs ran against Ed Martin. Louis tea party leadership has been freaking out, blaming third party candidates for Ed Martin's loss to Congressman Russ Carnahan.
