NY Times – Cantor Defeated

In a stunning upset, Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House majority leader, has lost the Republican primary to Dave Brat, a Richmond-area college professor who ran to Mr. Cantor’s right.

Mr. Cantor was expected to cruise to victory, although he had been pushed to portray himself as a hard-liner, especially on immigration.

baaaaaaaaaahahahahaha

[Order 66]

[sppunk]

First time a House Majority Leader has lost since 1899.

And say goodbye to immigration reform.

[Order 66]

yeah he was the House's last hope for "immigration" "reform"

[duovamp]

Barack Obama broke the Republican Party.

[The Omega Concern]

Tea Party not dead.


Fed's not enforcing immigration law might be a reason. "Immigration" reform to the Democrat and Rino commies means what's going on at the southern border right now, only more fucked up.

that must be why deportations are higher under this president than ever before and also why fewer people than ever want to come here from latin america.


and for the 1000th time if you can't correctly use "communist" in a sentence SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP SAYING IT YOU IGNORANT FOOL

[Future Boy]

can we get him to just stop showing up now

[MyOneAndOnly]

I for one welcome the uprising because I know that teabaggers will be wiped out by the UN and the Democrat party, and we'll finally be able to outlaw guns, legalize gays and get free healthcare and not have to work.

[redbreegull]

Politifact – Cantor spent more at steakhouses than his opponent spent on his entire campaign

[Trotskilicious]

how come leftists can't do this shit to democraps like harry ried

[redbreegull]

too many complacent moderates. it's easy to look at the tea party and be like why can't the libs achieve the same sort of successes in the other direction, but truly the tea party is the result of the kind of insane zealotry that is almost impossible to reproduce without the impetus of animal-like desperation and fear.

[Future Boy]

wouldnt be practical

[MyOneAndOnly]

the GOP is slowly destroying itself. They're alienating all the demographic groups in the country that are growing. Why would you want the Dems to do that? If it weren't for Gerrymandering they'd be a minority in the House and they wouldn't have control of state legislatures like Michigan

because a lot of democrats really fucking suck and have no backbone or interest in making any change or even making waves. we need MANY more a la Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren co-chairpersons of the Moonbat party. ESPECIALLY because the GOP is reeling and their demographic base is shrinking

[Eulogy]

honest question: in how many states could Sanders or Warren win a state-wide election?

Cantor was never going to do anything about it anyway. This wasn't about immigration reform, which people in his district largely support. It was about him being Eric Cantor. and probably a little bit about him being Jewish.

honestly, someone with a few great points and viral marketing can do it in a whole lot of blue states...just look at brat

[Trotskilicious]

i mean the tea party shows it IS possible. so many of the voter base for democrats ******* cynical leftists that just want to watch the world burn for lack of any reason to believe otherwise

[Trotskilicious]

well until obama steamrolls net nutrality through our collective assholes

yes senators todd akin and richard murdok and christine odonnell and whatever the fuck that guy from alaska's name was

not even sure you read my question.

[Trotskilicious]

TED CRUZ AND RAND PAUL

[Trotskilicious]

also i'd like to point out that bernie sanders and warren both won state wide races and are senators

to be honest you seem to be cynical just because

i didn't say anything about Moonbats running in a republican district, i thought the implication was clear

[MyOneAndOnly]

Warren wouldn't get out of a primary in most Den leaning states.

IMO you don't need a democratic legislature filled with Warrens. You need a interest groups that put adequate pressure on the pols.

[Trotskilicious]

glad to see you supporting the super pacs

[Trotskilicious]

what a great idea, says scotty
