Whenever I hear a candidate described as a “Tea Party favorite” or “Tea Party-backed”, my brain automatically interprets it as short hand for “Proudly-Ignorant Belligerent Maniac.” May not be fair, and I’ll never claim it’s unbiased, but it’s certainly a convenient supplement to the bullshit detector.
