Maybe but not enough to make a dent. More noise than anything. Also Tea Party policies aren't that extreme, nothing like Trump rhetoric.
Michelle Bachmann, founder of the Tea Party, ran for president and dropped out after Iowa. Marco Rubio was a Tea Party poster boy and you see in that clip how he defended Dubya.
Trump flipped the tables on both parties.
