There is no such thing as "sending a message." There is winning, and losing. That's it. The "send a message" has been what the losertarians have said for years. They are meaningless as a party, except possibly a spoiler—making things worse.

Eye on the ball. The Tea Party wants to get rid of things that have already been jammed down our throats; "we'll have to pass it so you can see what's in it." Controlling the Senate would have helped (though without a solid 60 votes, that's not that critical).

Political elites need to know they are only elite at the pleasure of the electorate.

I'm more than willing to let the Democrats deal with their political elites.
