More RINO delusion.

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?

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

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.

I suspect that there are THOUSANDS of Republicans that NEVER had a problem with crossover voting in an Open Primary, particularly when no effort was made to get the crossovers to come out. So why was Cantor THE FIRST to be lose his seat because of this?

I’d love to see someone ask that jackass that question.

(by the way, open primaries are IDIOTIC, but it did not affect this race, even at the margins)

That is their excuse. They blame dems for Santorum’s showing against Romney. That was crap too.

Yes, there was an analysis of that theory, and the analysis says that theory was bunk.

Actually, the “democrat” theory is laughingly ridiculous — Cantor got like 8000 less votes than in 2012.

So the argument is that Cantor couldn’t get his own voters to come out to vote, but somehow the democrats were able to talk over 15,000 democrats to vote in someone else’s primary for people they didn’t care about.

Either way, the GOP shouldn’t let rats vote in their primaries.

What could possibly go wrong???

Great job, GOP-establishment. Looks like you’ve foisted another looser on us.

Can’t wait to read what McCarthy has to say when Brat
wins the general election. Watch this space.
