Texas Republican Senate nominee Ted Cruz talked about the tea party movement in his Tuesday remarks at the Republican National Convention, calling it a “great awakening.” Cruz was the tea party candidate in the Texas Senate primary who beat out the estabishment favorite, David Dewhurst, the lieutenant governor of Texas.

Since 2010, something extraordinary has been happening, something that has dumbfounded the chattering class.

 

It began here in Florida in 2010. In Utah, Kentucky, Pennsylvania.

 

Was repeated this summer in Indiana. Nebraska. Wisconsin.

 

And this past month, in the Lone Star State, Texas.

 

What is happening all across America is a Great Awakening.
