Why sarcasm on the importance of the Cantor race? have you not been following that?
For several reasons
1)I don’t think there’s much chance he’ll lose, maybe I’m wrong but I doubt it
2)I don’t think there is anything to this headhunting “take out the leader” idea, sorry I just don’t, it’s faulty logic. No one will like the next leader either. It’s the job, not the person in it. The leadership reflects the members, a larger and more conservative GOP conference is the thing that can positively effect the leadership
3)Cantor is not a RINO, he has a conservative voting record, Lance is a NJ moderate in a safe Republican district yet no one cared about that race. And his challenger lost by 9 points. Imagine if that race got more attention.
It’s a question of priorities. If you want to oppose Cantor, fine with me, Brat seems ok, I might have voted for him if I lived there, maybe. But no way is that more important than getting rid of real RINOs. Beating Lance would move the House to the right much more appreciably than beating Eric Cantor. No way was beating McConnell (which was impossible with the loser that ran) more important than beating Cochran or Lamar! We’ve seen important challengers for against real RINOs like that jerk in Idaho and Walter Jones, go down while people waste time headhunting the leaders like and targeting conservative Senators like Pat Roberts and Mike Enzi. Priorities, that’s all.
