The way I see it the Tea Party is kind of like the Golden Dawn in Greece, the media depicts them as dangerous outsiders but in reality they are the shock troops of the people already in power. In order to push MORE austerity, privatization, tax cuts, etc the elites fund people like Cruz to go out and do his populist right-wing act.
The message may not sound compelling to most of us who live in big cities and are more liberal in our thinking, but it would be even less compelling if it was delivered in the form of "today four Wall Street billionaires demanded the government slash Medicare or they will shut it down." They need a populist frontman in order to be politically viable.
