This is the reason that Cantor resigned immediately. They believe that they have the support and the votes to replace Cantor with one of their ilk. By doing it now and giving the new Majority Leader six months to do favors for members, they believe that they can prevail when the new caucus assembles for the New Congress. They intend to roll over the newbies.

As soon as I heard Cantor stepped down your above statement is exactly what I said to my husband. Well maybe not exact :-)
