Pat is as pro Tea Party as it gets. It was the "Old Guard" that ripped & disowned him because of his tough stance against NAFTA and his support for tariffs to even the playing field.

A quick Google would seem to suggest you're right. Or it suggests he's sympathetic to many of the Tea Party's aims.

So, the Tea Party's pro tariff? I wasn't aware of that. (I'm pro-tariff.) I thought they were knee-jerk free traders.

As for NAFTA, pretty much everyone's opposed to that and anything else that smells like it.

That won't stop the passage of the TPP though.

If you like NAFTA, you'll love TPP!

There you have it. Yesterday's 'right wing fringe' is now sensible compared to the new baseline.
