Eric Cantor loses GOP primary

Looking bleak for him.

Brat 57.7%, Cantor 42.3%; 58.6% reporting in VA 7th District GOP House primary.

Looks as if the prediction of the demise of the Tea Party is a little pre-mature.

Amnesty is what's probably done him in.

Anyone but Cantor.

Good. 12 years is long enough. Now if we could just get rid of McCain, Pelosi, McConnell, Reid and Graham.

Haha yes! The only thing worse than the tea party is the establishment R trying to sprint to the right in election season. Cantor embarrassed himself and everything he stood for when he tried to appease the far right. And what does he have to show for it now? Nothing

Down goes Cantor, down goes Cantor.

Or should I say down goes Contraues



The Tea Parties death has been greatly exaggerated.

Honestly the Tea Party should have been taken out back and shot a long time ago. They've single handedly destroyed the Republican Party and turned it into the clusterfrick we know today.

I am stunned, but very pleased, by this turn of events. Cantor never struck me as a heavy-weight, and I always had a sense that he was somewhat of an opportunist and was arrogant beyond his abilities. His recent comments about immigration conveyed an unnecessary "hurry up" approach that got him in trouble. To bargain with Obama over the issue of immigration prior to the November elections means that the Republicans would be bargaining from a relative weak position. The Republicans should wait to see if and when they win the Senate to be in a stronger bargaining position on immigration.

Hahahaha
