If they say it wasn't the amnesty that doomed Cantor, it WAS the amnesty that doomed Cantor.

yeah, I’m sure supporting a plan to give Amnesty to 40 Million Illegal Aliens while 50 million Americans are unemployed had nothing to do with it, they got EBT cards already, why would they be upset??.

It didn’t help him.

The Bolshie running against Brat should tout amnesty.

Did they poll the same folks who said they were going to vote for Cantor?

Some can never get over being ignorant and stupid. Mostly, liberals and Democrats. Yes, some Republicans.

Actually, I think they’re right. That may have been the nail in his coffin, but he was unpopular personally and had been increasingly moving towards “reaching across the aisle” on everything, even the economic matters on which he had initially been very good.

GOP Congresscritters don’t retain their integrity very long once they get to DC, it seems.

Don’t you find it curious that the Democrats seem so concerned about a GOP congressman biting the dust and trying to find excuses other than the obvious one? Not really. We know the reason for the left’s concern for Cantor. With him being bounced last night the chances for an amnesty this year went up in smoke. The rest of the GOPe will be too scared to pursue this option now.

Depends on the meaning of “immigration reform”. Big difference between securing the borders and enforcing existing laws versus amnesty. Both could be considered “reform” based on the status quo.

I completely disagree.

Cantor was the one. He was everything the cabal had in mind for America and for the GOP.

He was very charismatic. He was going to change the GOP.

He forgot to check, whether the GOP and America wanted to change, the way he had in mind.

Just saying.

I think the GOP is poised for a rebellion.

Now.

That may be a part of it but by all accounts he ignored his district. He spent all his time playing Majority Leader and operating on the national scene and angling for the Speakership that he forgot the folks who put him there in the first place and they were put off enough that they didn't turn out and vote. Let that be a lesson to the rest of them up there.

The PROBLEM WITH THE POLL, is that it presents a false premise!

““strongly” or “somewhat” support immigration reform that would secure the borders, block employers from hiring those here illegally, and allow undocumented residents without criminal backgrounds to gain legal status”

NONE of those features will EVER be negotiated or signed into law while the Dems hold the Senate and the White House!!!

That means that while Cantor and other RINOs pretend they would be tough negotiators, they know they’re lying.

Well, maybe not among liberals - but among conservatives who are sick of democrats bringing in 3 rd world filth to prop up their party... yeah, it matters.

Republicans should offer 60 million Chinese free citizenship, education, and welfare benefits if they agree to vote Republican. Would the 'oh so compassionate' at Politco, New York Times, LA Times and Washington Post could see through that one.

Yeah, the little sh*ts would see through it...

They would be screaming like stuck pigs... but we're suppose to pretend dumping million of Mexicans here to vote dem is 'compassion'? Gimme a break.
