Eric Cantor lost his seat

[Jarlaxle]

Brutal blow for Republicans

They have drawn a line in the sand on immigration reform

It will doom the party nationally

60 percent of the populace opposes amnesty.

Nobody is proposing amnesty

See, you just LIED again!

 

[MarcATL]

Cantor lost by 10 per cent of the vote................dang!

11 actually.

Like passing immigration reform wouldn't doom the party. You think a majority of those new Hispanic voters are going to vote Republican?

Why wouldn't they? Don't you guys have the best platform? The best plan for the country forward and all? Surely the hard-working, socially conservative Mexicans (which are legion) should relate to that message...right? So why are you predicting not getting their vote?

Got news for you. 90% of the LEGAL MEXICAN AMERICANS are conservative and HATE the shit that goes on at the border.

This Election Was Supposed to be the death of the Tea Party.

According to whom?

The Left?

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

In all the primaries tonight, only ONE Tea Partier one.

Relax.

Sheesh!!

*SMH*

 

[Jarlaxle]

How many think "amnesty" and a "pathway to citizenship" are the same?

A cesspool and a septic tank are not the same thing...but, like any "path to citizenship" pablum, both, like you, are still full of SHIT!

Exactly!

Thanks for bolstering my point.



Surely the Republican Party can get the bulk of that 90% you speak of.

Right?

 

[Votto]

Just announced on TV -

His seat is in play now!

Whooooo Hooooo!

At least the GOP is willing to purge its filth.

 

[Vigilante]

Amnesty - that's too easy.

A lot of Repubs have been for amnesty, including Jeb Bush.

Are ya'll saying Bush can't run because of that?

I like this.

Post some more of these, they give me great satisfaction.

No problem, I think he'll be Charlie Chris's campaign manager!

 

[Darkwind]

I wonder of Boner will get the message?

The vast number who simply go on welfare will, of course, vote to CONTINUE AND EXPAND said welfare...but you know that!

Ann Coulter on Fox News defending Establishment Republicans.

Really? I was watching FOX for the last 1.5 hours, and I didn't hear her on the phone defending the establishment. She was happy about Brat's win, just like Laura was.

Their crediting Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham and others for the defeat of Eric Cantor.

I work with a legal immigrant (naturalized citizen) who says all illegals should be rounded up and shot!

No they're not, Southern Belle Lindsay Graham won her primary handily.

This is just ONE race guys...relax!!

Indeed. Mister and Mrs America will take care of the republicans. Democrats? They are happy to be the freaks and geeks of society. November will be the slap-down that the Nazi left has needed for years. Will it affect change in their party? Of course not. Parasites must be purged from the body.

It's coming. It's coming.


The "Walking Dude" is coming.....soon.

 

[hazlnut]

He lost to an extremist -- or at least talks like one.


How in the world did Cantor paint his opponent, Dave Brat, as a liberal? -- Because he's a college professor?

Some observations from Ezra Klein on Eric Cantor's loss:

Eric Cantor's shocking defeat at the hands of David Brat is that rarest of things in American politics: a genuine earthquake. And like with real earthquakes, the damage will be much greater because so few were prepared. A few provisional thoughts:

The Republican Party's core problem isn't the extremism of its members but the weakness of its leadership. Tonight, the Republican Party's problem got much, much worse.
"Republicans" are not the same as "Republican primary voters." In 2012, Eric Cantor won the general election with more than 220,000 votes. With 90 percent of precincts reporting, Brant is winning with about 33,000 votes. It's possible and even likely that the vast majority of Republicans in Virginia's 7th District liked Cantor just fine. But primaries only count the people who come out to vote.
Immigration reform is dead and Hillary Clinton's presidential hopes are so, so alive.
Mere weeks ago the press was writing the Tea Party's obituary. Tonight, the Tea Party claimed its single biggest scalp. This speaks to the weird way the Tea Party exerts powers.
The power of the Tea Party has never been the number of Republicans it defeated in primaries. The overwhelming majority of Republican incumbents running for reelection win their primaries without trouble. Rather, it's been the prominence of the Republicans the Tea Party defeated that give the movement its sway. Dick Lugar, Mike Castle, and Bob Bennett. They were institutions. And Eric Cantor's loss is a literally unprecedented event in American politics. These losses mean no Republican is safe. And that means that as rare as successful Tea Party challenges are, every elected Republicans needs to guard against them.
The Republican Party has a serious data problem. in 2012, Mitt Romney's internal polls were garbage. This year, Eric Cantor's internal polls showed him up by more than 30 points. Something is deeply wrong with the GOP's campaign infrastructure if the party's presidential nominee and the party's House majority leader can't rely on their pollsters.

I know them too. Wouldn't shoot them, but I'd love to see our laws ENFORCED for a change. This bullshit about not being able to round them up and send them back is nothing but propaganda from both the left AND the right and ESPECIALLY by the Chamber of Commerce. Every illegal in this country LOWERS wages for the precious few jobs that are out there for Americans.

One RINO down many more to go.
