3. Not likily ...
The Tea Party itself was manufactured by the GOP via Freedom Works and other such front groups. The main goal of those groups was to anger the far right base enough to get them to vote for "run of the mill" GOP candidates, like Scott Brown, and the new Governors of NJ and VA.

With the Citizens United case, the GOP no longer needs the Tea Party. They'll have corporate dollars to rile up the base, but only for GOP approved candidates. One or two Tea Party nuts may squeak through a few primaries this year, but not going forward.
