Well, this Jewish guy is not upset about Cantor’s loss.
At all.
He was a liberal and needed to go.
I think a lot of conservative Jewish folk had great hopes for Cantor. I certainly did. It’s socially problematic being conservative and Republican for a lot of Jewish Americans. Cantor represented a “great Jewish hope” for a lot of conservative Jews, to show that, yes, it was OK to be Jewish and politically conservative.
Sadly, Cantor turned out to be a lot like Colin Powell. Powell was “the great black hope” for conservative blacks. Well, Obama-supporting Powell was pathetic and needed to go, too.
So, while I still hope for a “great Jewish hope” to get politically-conservative Jewish Americans out of the closet (and there are a LOT more than polling or voting would lead one to believe), I am not sad to see Cantor go, in the least.
Liberal Jews are bad for the Jews and bad for America and Israel.

As a complete aside, does Brat look almost like a clone of Cantor, or is that just me? I have to look at them side-by-side to tell the difference. Not to stereotype my own people, but Brat looks pretty damn Israeli to me. Be hilarious if that was the case and really put the race baiters on their heels.
Israel’s greatest friend has always been the American conservative. Someone said during G.W. Bush’s administration that if Bush could run for Prime Minister of Israel he’d win in a landslide. Yet he lost the American Jewish vote in a landslide. Go figure.
It would be, wouldn’t it?
I shouted out to my husband this morning: they’re identical cousins! Brat has blondish hair, only difference, lol.

You might be very surprised to find out how much of the “white” race is descended from the dispersed northern kingdom Israelites. Especially “Dan” whose name is stamped on so much of Europe.

LOL - it's not just you... it's funny weird - and real.
Hey, love the screen name! You are a funny guy.
As for Brat, a lot of people are hoping he is genuine and if he is that he will not be corrupted by DC.
We’ll see...
