NRCC Chairman Greg Walden (R-Ore.) said the national party was ready to help David Brat but have had trouble reaching him.
Multiple times Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Walden texted and called Brat to say congratulations and offer assistance, but Brat’s voicemail was full and by 6 p.m. Wednesday, they had not yet spoken.
Walden said the GOP only had Brat’s cell as a point of contact but expected to connect with him soon over phone and in Washington.

No because they figured he’d come crawling to them. He hasn’t so now they’re concerned.

Man, I’d love to be in his position of “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.” I hope it lasts and he is able to build/work with a real conservative, patriotic caucus.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
They need to call Mark Levin who has no problem reaching Mr. Brat....lololol!

That’s odd. I’m listening to Dave Brat speaking to Mark Levin right this second.

They don’t want to suck up. They want Brat to “play ball” under their rules, while manipulating the great unwashed (us).

Walden said he wanted to push amnesty after the primaries.
He did poorly for a money man. He only got 75% in his primary.

The GOP didn’t have his email? Couldn’t send him a text?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Haven't even seen his wife. I bet he called her last night:
Brat: "Honey I won !!!"
Wife: "Won what ???"
