Daily Caller - Many have suggested there is a schism within the Republican Party between the tea-party wing and the so-called GOP establishment. But has the tea party taken over the Republican Party? On ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, Washington Post columnist George Will explained,Â*as he has in the past,that there is no Republican establishment anymore. However, he had a different take on it this time. “There is no Republican establishment,” Will said. “Its newspaper died, the Herald-Tribune in New York in 1966 and it died too … Look, Google the Republican establishment and you’ll get 20 million hits. Google the Loch Ness monster and you’ll get a whole bunch. “ Will then said that if there is a GOP-establishment, it is now the tea party. “They are the establishment today if there is such a thing,” he declared. “The Republican establishment died at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1964 when Goldwater was nominated against their frenzied wishes.”
