Are Tea Party Reps worried about getting "primaried" by moderate Republicans?

After this disastrous episode of causing so many Americans so much grief and worry, they should be. Wouldn't that be a turn of the tables?

I'm sure this is not a scenario they envisioned when they gerrymandered the districts for these morons?

They continue to play to the right-wing base and achieve their coveted primary victories. THEN swing vote moderates, wary of their extreme antics, will help defeat them in the general election, flipping Congress in the process.
