Dems' Tea Party-like rebellion built by a decade of frustration

Democratic leaders are concerned about a growing internal rebellion within their party, reminiscent of the Republican Tea Party movement of 2009.

As a result, leftist and outsider candidates have gained momentum, defeating established Democrats in various races across the country.
