Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor admitted Tuesday that he underestimated Donald Trump as a presidential candidate. “I was predicting way back when that Donald Trump had no chance. I think many of us were,” Cantor said on Tuesday in an interview with CNBC. “I’ve stopped the business of predicting.”

Sounds to me like he is getting it, from reading his statement. Says Trump can win some voters over Hillary.
“I think many of us were”
Is that supposed to be an excuse?
Admitting that he is out of touch with the electorate.
You bet eric. You and all the rest of the GOPe
What he underestimated was how pissed off we are at his ilk.
Not missing you Eric. Won’t miss Paulie Ryan either.
When in your lifetime have you ever had a good choice for president?? Ronald Reagan twice maybe?
I am not a huge fan of Trump either. Yes, he did participate in the corrupt system/ environment that already existed. He would not have built his business had he not. He went along to get along. Now we are past having a squeaky clean candidate. However, I think Trump believes that the corruption has grown so pervasive that it is wrecking the country and threatening our freedom and prosperity. So do I. I think he believes we are marching double-time into Marxism, and the GOPe has done NOTHING to stop it. So do I. I think he believes that unless something is done, the business climate will become so corrupt that ONLY businesses that pay off the government will be allowed to be successful. So do I.
A vote for Johnson, absent a widespread movement to make his party viable, is a vote for Hillary. It is too late for a 3rd party movement in this election. Trump is the ONLY viable alternative, at this point, to elect someone who MIGHT slow down the slide to Marxism with the Rats and Hillary at the helm. The Rats hate him and the GOPe hates him. That is actually a pretty good testimonial for me. The GOP certainly is in dire need of wrecking. . . the Rat Party is in the pit of hell like a pedophile coaxing a child (American voters) with candy to get in his car. I cannot subscribe to your logic. Trump is all we really have at this point
Just as you underestimated us.
It was Obama that hadn’t a chance, but twice, nobody told him.
