The entire chattering class, the pundits...not one in 1,000 saw Cantor’s defeat coming..they couldn’t even entertain the idea. Yet in the 3 hours since the results were announced (9PM EST) they produced hundreds of articles explaining the meaning and significance of it, and how it would all hurt Republicans..
The know-it-alls failed to report that this was not just a loss---it was a 12 point political slaughter. Congressional Quarterly reported NO sitting leader ever lost an election. The victorious Brat ran as Cantor's "TERM LIMIT"---a good slogan for other Republicans.
WRT the amnesty issue----the miniscule Hispanic vote is overly-hyped and pumped-up to scare vote-crazed Dems---its at a nothing 10 per cent now and for the for-seeable future.
Brat's winning opposition to it puts the kibosh to amnesty. But you know the execrable Obama will see this as his "right" to an Executive Order.
Starting now, Dems are on notice---if Obo moves on this unilaterally----Americans will insist Dems demand his resignation
