I worked with the Brat campaign on the immigration issue. My organization funded and I wrote the text of a robocall to 28,000 Cantor constituents. Here is the text:

Did you know that your congressman, Eric Cantor, supports amnesty rather than the Rule of Law? Don’t be fooled by his rhetoric or election time flip-flops. Any legislation that allows the lawbreakers, including children, to stay and work here is amnesty.

Cantor favors massive increases in permanent immigration and guest worker programs that will cost the jobs of Americans and depress their wages even further. He even wants to enable illegal aliens to join the US military and compete with US citizens and legal immigrants during a period of downsizing in the military. With over 20 million Americans underemployed or unemployed, this is a travesty no matter how he spins it. We don’t have a shortage of labor; we have a shortage of jobs.

Cantor does the bidding of his corporate paymasters rather than doing what is right for his constituents and our country. Cantor is no conservative. Shock the Republican Leadership on June 10th and let Cantor know there are consequences for his impending betrayal. Protect American jobs for American workers.

None of the major tea party groups gave a dime to Brat. They have contributed to other candidates around the country. They refused despite requests from the Brat campaign for support.

Cantor has been widely known in his district for being aloof and arrogant. He was one of the few Rep politicians who did not attend the VA Tea Party convention in Richmond several years ago. He was widely disparaged at the convention for being a chicken.

FYI: Over a year ago I had a one on one hour long briefing of Cantor on the immigration issue. He is doing the exact opposite of what I recommended. It is satisfying indeed to see him defeated, largely on this issue.

The GOP should use the Brat template on immigration. He went after the Chamber of Commerce and the corporate class and sided with the American worker. Brat wants to cut down the influx of foreign workers, legal and illegal, because it takes jobs away from Americans and depresses wages.

The GOP, especially the conservatives, need to weed out and reduce their slate to a candidate or two early on. Having half-a-dozen going into any election only waters down their message(s). That is part of what happened in SC with Graham winning the primary in a landslide.

“None of the major tea party groups gave a dime to Brat. They have contributed to other candidates around the country. They refused despite requests from the Brat campaign for support. “

Unfortunately the “BUZZ” about various incumbents, that they are unbeatable because of A,B,C creates an aura where quality challengers do not show up and run.

This is the case with John Wayne McCornyn (he is just like one of us) in Texas - No credible opposition
This is the case with Linseed as well - No credible opposition.

Some, like the Madison Project will tell you up front that some of these battles are futile.

That is one reason why this Win by Mr. Brat is such a huge upset and a plus for America. Maybe this will generate momentum in some of the remaining primaries - Tennessee being one such race
