Twenty-four hours ago, the Tea Party claimed responsibility for Dave Brat’s amazing victory over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
Are you ready? Here it comes!
ClapClapClapClapClapClap.
I applaud you.
You’ve managed to succeed in the Herculean and super-consequential task of replacing a Republican with a Republican.
Yay.
I think Barbara Comstock should be happy.
This just in!: Establishment throws a hissy fit
It all depends on what the meaning of the word Republican is, Skippy. One man’s Republican is another man’s RINO.
The reason? He would have to face a primary challenger from the right, and he knew he would lose. Regardless of which of the three men running wins the primary, it will be a notch in the belt for the conservative wing of the party.
I'm sure there are other moderates who decided to hang it up this year for the same reasons.
We knocked off Ralph Hall in Texas. We got a solid conservative into a runoff election for an open congressional seat in Georgia which he now leads. In another open Georgia seat we have two challengers both more conservative than the man who occupied it prior. We got Sasse elected over McConnell’s guy in Nebraska. We sweeped the Texas state level election. Mia Love goes unopposed into the House.
We’re about to take out Thad Cochran and his fatass backer Haley Barbour! That is huge! And lets say we win in Oklahoma with T.W. Shannon, and maybe even with Joe Carr in Tennessee.
Far from a bad year, this looks like a repeat of previous years, where the percentage of conservatives in the Republican delegation only increases.
Sounds like that smarmy little bitch at the State Department.
I once wrote a “letter to the editor” to many Wisconsin newspapers denouncing Petri’s vote for McCain/Feingold as treasonous. He referred to those treason charges later and almost wore it as a badge of honor.
You forgot the win by King George III.
i reject kirwan’s framing of what occurred.
There, fixed it!
I think it may be time for the madman Shaun Drive Em Out Kenney to quit twitter like he did in April.
A 4 year old non organized political movement (not party) takes out the 2nd most powerful member of a 150 year old establishment republican with MILLIONS of dollars spent on a campaign.
I’ll tell you what now. Take out the rest of them. Then start taking out the democrats.
