Virginia governor: I was 'disappointed' that Cantor lost
The Hill ^ | October 12, 2014 | Rachel Huggins

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) said he was "disappointed" after former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his primary and resigned because it was a loss for the state's congressional leadership.

"As governor, I had the Majority Leader and, potentially, the Speaker of the United States of America as a member of my congressional delegation," McAuliffe told radio host John Catsimatidis in an interview to air Sunday on New York's 970 AM. "Personally, I was disappointed that Eric lost."

SNIP

When Catsimatidis told the governor that some people blamed him for Cantor's stunning defeat, McAuliffe said he's not at fault.

Oh, screw you, McAwful!
He lost because he didn’t have a cheating, libtard, demonRAT machine to deliver him votes that don’t exist like you did, moron.

"my Congressional delegation"

What is it about Leftists that they forget they work for those that elected them? For the record Governor, that delegation belongs to the Virginia - not you.

I hate to break it to you, Terry, but the House reports to the People. "Your delegation" is in the Senate.

“Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) said he was “disappointed” after former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his primary and resigned because it was a loss for the state’s congressional leadership.”

I wonder if he would have said the same if it had been Tom Delay...

Says a lot about Cantor.

My God, this is a BIZARRE ARTICLE. Democrats blaming Democrats for a Republican defeat. It would be like Republicans blaming each other if someone took out Pelosi in a primary.

It is really weird that the Democrats are not CELEBRATING his defeat. Really weird.
