One time Cong/House leader Eric Cantor lost big-time under similar conditions. His opponent Brat was from nowhere----never ran for office----in an uphill race against Majority Leader Boehner's right-hand man. Then-House Leader, Eric Cantor (R-Va), was considered untouchable and his reelection inevitable.

Is Hillary another Eric Cantor in the making? The defeat of Eric Cantor detailed:

<><> the showboating Cantor had tons of money---spent 26X times his opponent's $100K.

<><> Cantor consistently polled an astounding 34 points ahead of his unknown opponent.

<><> Cantor was considered "inevitable" and "untouchable".

<><> Cantor had no ethics problems.

<><> Cantor sucked-up to an anti-tea party group.

<><> Cantor sucked up to the latino vote.

<><> Cantor showboated his leadership---was deeply into (gag) "diversity."

=============================================

BY CONTRAST CANTOR'S PRIMARY OPPONENT:

<><> Brat ran as Cantor's TERM LIMIT

<><> Brat roundly opposed, and was vociferous against amnesty.

<><> Brat ran as a staunch conservative (now in Congress he has a bonafide 100% conservative rating.)

<><> On election day, Brat got 18,000 more Repub out to the polls than the previous election that elected Cantor.

================================================

CANTOR IN DEFEAT----DUMBFOUNDED:

HERE'S THE KICKER Cantor ran high-priced ads
delineating his opponent's "inferior" positions... but
voters liked what they heard and came out in droves for Brat.

What's sad, AZ and WI voters had an opportunity to send {{shock waves}} through the republican good ol boy establishment by “Cantoring” Ryan and McCain and furthering a popular uprising against the corruption in D.C..........but the DIDN'T. This would have helped propel Trump.

Thanx a bunch AZ/WI, way to help out.
