The purpose is to elect the weaker candidate so that in Nov the democrats beat the repub candidate very easily..
The Dems are more scared of Cantor than a unknown Mr Brat.
Well, that would seem to be the obvious motive but if you look at it more deeply it doesn’t make sense. With Cantor the Dems had someone who was going to push for amnesty and being the second in command in the House, Cantor had the ability to maybe get that done. He was the best alley on immigration that the Dems could possible have.
Ok so now the Dems may have a better chance to win VA-07 but to what avail. They’re still not going to have the House, someone who could have helped them on amnesty is gone and the message to RINO’s is that amnesty is radioactive.
I just doens’t make sense.
