In recent time since the Tea Party has established itself as a political contender in the United States, they have grown in popularity through the media. Their extremist views are starting to cause a divide between the Republican party because they have chosen to back candidates who were not backed by the GOP and others that were. Instead of acting as a group to promote and help Republicans get what they want in an extreme matter, they may actually be hurting them because splitting up support. While the Tea Party system has made moves to boost voter registration and encourage voters to get involved in the system, it's third party ideology might be their downfall. Because the Tea Party is too extreme for most Republicans, they will not be able to conform the majority. This will cause people to leave the GOP, resulting in less votes for the Republicans, causing them to potentially lose this election while the Tea Party risks not being able to gain enough votes to win themselves.
