It makes me wonder now, how in the heck did Cantor get beat? By all accounts he should have wiped the floor with his opponent.

Has Sarah Palin, or anyone come out for Nehlen? I don’t see anyone. IF he wins, it will be the biggest upset in a long time.

Cantor was not Speaker and was by all accounts in an engaged voter district. Ryan is Speaker and as we saw in the primaries Wisconsin “conservatives” are easily herded sheep.

Palin endorsed him. Unfortunately Trump did not. I’m sure Trump will welcome his victory should he win. I have supported Nehlen, even contributed to his campaign. If he loses, I’ll do the same with Ryan’s Democratic opponent.

Sarah Palin
Ann Coulter
Laura Ingraham
Lou Dobbs
General Paul Valleley
Michelle Malkin
Donald Trump JR
Diamond and Silk

I’ve seen tweets and links to ads including all of these people, except Jr. I’ve just seen his tweet of support for Nehlen.

I met the 2 young men who helped Brat defeat Cantor. They wrote the book “How to Bag a RINO” Gray Delaney and Zach Werrell

Sarah Palin has strongly endorsed Nehlen. So did Trump until he must have been told to support Ryan by the GOP-e.

Cantor was a victim of redistricting in my view. That and he was an arrogant putz.

The VA general assembly did him a bad turn by making his district more conservative. He ended up picking up a lot of new conservative voters who didn’t know Cantor from the man on the moon. It gave Dave Brat a opportunity.

Truth be told, though, I think the more recent election between Forbes and Taylor was more telling. There you had 2 “conservatives” battling it out. The insurgent won.

People at least in VA are pissed off and more than happy to take it out on incumbents. Funny thing is that neither Brat’s nor Taylor’s districts are doing poorly in an economic sense so go figure.

Immediately thereafter, Cantor accepted a position as vice chairman of investment bank Moelis & Company at a compensation of $3.4 million.[3] As the US House majority leader, Cantor earned an annual salary of $193,400.

Seems like he’s doing well.

Not a slam, but the fact that you don't know this is very telling.

Sarah Palin endorsed Nehlen and her super PAC gave money. Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter campaigned with him.

Cantor got beat because he went very negative on Bratt. Cantor ran a ton of negative ads that mentioned Bratt's name and this single handedly gave Bratt high name recognition. Cantor was also arrogant. On the morning of the primary, Cantor was at a Starbucks on Capitol Hill hanging around his high end donors.

Ryan has learned from Cantor's errors and has run zero ads that mention Nehlen. The ads are about Cantor and his agenda and his accomplishments and he was not in Washington this morning. Also, Ryan has not mentioned Nehlen in any speech. This is one reason why Nehlen is not as well known as was Bratt's on election morning.

Ann Coulter among others. I believe Sarah Palin endorsed him as well. Trump of course ended up with a mild endorsement but Trump is playing a long game with many more pokers in the fire. he needed to seem into the party unity garbage.

A lot of good it did.
