How did the No. 2 man in the House lose a primary? Chalk it up to immigration and the Tea Party. Its one of the most shocking losses in U.S. electoral historyand its bad for America. Heres the thing: Eric Cantor did not fall asleep in this race. He spent around $5 million. He ran lots of TV ads. He knew this was going to be a close one. He campaigned. And he still got creamed.
And heres the other thing: Cantor was not an enemy of the Tea Party. He was in fact the Tea Partys guy in the leadership for much of the Barack Obama era. He carried the tea into the speakers office. And still he got creamed.

This is the Democrat strategery for 2016.
declare Hillary the unbeatable nominee before the primaries so democrats in open states are freed up to help pick the Republican candidate
Politicians are like baby’s diapers. They should be changed often.
Good Point — Well Taken soldier.
Maybe, just maybe, this will cause the Republican party to rethink open primaries...
Obama to Cantor: Thanks for all your help, buddy.
whoo hoo!
I wish for a Coup D’etat but not by the briefcase flag officers.
Without that, the 50/50 nation we have now won’t survive.
No president, house and senate can move the needle in a positive direction in four years and nobody that tries can get elected for the second term he needs to get the job done. Even if he does somehow manage to get reelected the injured parties will react in the next round and swing the needle back in the opposite direction even harder and with vengeance.
No direction taken in 8 year segments lasts long enough to swing a generation the way it needs to be done. Change has to come in 20 year cycles.

I had never heard of the site before, but from the article and comments I must conclude it is a hangout for Trotskyites Anonymous.
I wouldn’t I’d be afraid to catch something unsavory from it!
Obama to Cantor: Thanks for all your help, buddy.
NOW GO MAKE ME A SAMMICH!!!
The GOP-E Leadership in the US House, (Boehner, Cantor, and Ryan), is always gullible to Obama’s tricks. Consequently, Boehner, Cantor and Ryan, have all pledged to ram through this unpopular Obama Amnesty Bill due to Obama’s illegal decision to flood the USA with children from Mexico and Central America.
It is time to kick the GOP-E out of Congressional Leadership!
“And heres the other thing: Cantor was not an enemy of the Tea Party.”
The hell he wasn’t. He’s an enemy of the American people.
Cantor needs to emigrate to Mexico assuming that they would take him.
Take heart. I am very old. But I have vision. That is very near. The military is key. They are sickened by this traitor. I speculate things are very near in that respect.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Hey Cantor, where's your AMNESTY NNNNOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi! |
In Cantor’s heavily republican district, the dems thought he would win so they didn’t even bother to choose a candidate to run against him. Supposedly today was the last day for an independent to register. So unless some democrat has already registered as an independent, I don’t believe there will be a dem winning the final election in November.
