Reince Priebus as Chairman of the RNC is like Kissinger as SoS. He's very pragmatic, nearly to the point of having no principles.

In 2010, Marco Rubio was a former Jeb Bush protege/ state legislative leader. He's not really a tea party guy. He's always been establishment. That election was a clash between different establishment forces rather than Tea Party VS Crist.

In which the Tea Party largely backed Rubio.
