What happens to the Tea Party If the GOP wins back the White House?

So why isn't anyone looking at the chance that the Tea Party wing wins the nomination and the general. After 7 straight times of moderates getting the nod and losing 4 of those it's time the conservative/tea party wing lead for a while. I'm looking at you Rand Paul

Moderate? Gerald Ford was probably the last "Moderate" to win the Republican Nomination for President and that was almost 40 years ago.

I like Rand Paul but the guy makes off-beat comments at times and he hasn't run anything. I don't want another Obama: all bark and no bite.

Bush 41, Dole, Bush 43, McCain, Romney. That's seven moderate led GOP nominations. Yes I consider W a moderate.  The last conservative was 30 years ago. We all know how he landslid Mondale and Carter.

Because the tea party is great at winning elections. Just ask Akin, Mourdock, O'Donnell, Miller, and Buck.

I'll give you Akin and O'Donnell. Mourdock was betrayed by many in the establishment wing of the GOP in Indiana(I know because I aided his grassroots teams) and Miller was betrayed by the Alaskan establishment GOP folks too by not telling Murkowski to step aside.
