MCCARTHY BLAMES DEMS FOR CANTOR LOSS
Breitbart ^ | 23 Jun 2014

Posted on 06/23/2014 5:52:37 PM PDT by kingattax

House Majority Leader-elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blamed crossover votes by Democrats for Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) surprise primary defeat at the hands of David Brat in an interview on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Monday. He stated that was surprised by Cantor’s defeat, and did say that “all politics are local” when asked why he thought Cantor lost.

McCarthy added that he had “read five different analyses” and one theory he came across was “Democrats voted 30 percent in [that race].”

Another “national Republican” as clueless as Cantor was.

He’s right. The RINOs never should have bought that “rebrand” crap that their commie ‘RAT pals were spewing at them after the 2012 “elections”. It was a setup and the GOP fell for it.

I suspect Mr. McCarthy immediately discarded the immigration issue as being paramount in Cantor’s defeat, even though Brat beat Cantor over the head with that continually.

McCarthy, Ryan, et al. are in deep denial.

Did he say that’s how Lindsey Graham we nominated again? Did he talk about the demos getting out for Thud Cochran?

There were a few, but not nearly enough to account for the blowout.

Got TEA, Kevin?

I will no longer vote for any GOPe candidates as the lesser of two evils.

Because, honestly, GOPe candidates are just as much, or perhaps moreso, the greater evil.

This guy is better than i thought! He’s a f**king Jedi! He blames the RATS for Cantors loss, all the while Cochran is hoping the RAT voters save his a$$. SO WHEN HE GETS DESTROYED TOMORROW in the polls by McDaniel he can blame the same RATS! YES.HE.CAN! /s

The Democrats don’t have a monopoly on delusion and self-delusion.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) ... was surprised by Cantor’s defeat, and did say that “all politics are local”.

I don't know if this was ever true but it's certainly not true now. I do hope that someone fixes the potholes, but I don't complain much about such things because I'm not that involved with local-yokel politics. Compare voter turnout for local elections vs. presidential elections to know that most people agree with me.
