I don't know if this is good news. I was never a Eric Cantor supporter, but with this election the country has just gotten a little bit more divisive. If congressional representatives refuse to talk to each other or compromise, then how can democracy function? I'm not opposed to out with old and in with the new, but electing people who dislike government to government positions makes no sense to me.
That's the idea of it all to completely destroy government.
Dems do not primary out their bad eggs. Never will.
Really? Why do you folks make these statements when they are so easy to disprove?
This isn't exactly "ancient history" - there were several Dem primaries battles against incumbents in 2010 .... the move by the Leftists to remove the 'Blue Dogs'. Lincoln was the bloodiest and she survived the Primary to lose in the General.
This result makes sense. I would not assume Cantor's loss is a signal of tea party resurgence. Primaries in VA are open to all, so many Democrats voted for Brat specifically to unseat Cantor. In addition, this district has gone for Obama in the past 2 presidential elections, so unlikely that it has suddenly become a tea party stronghold.
Hilarious to watch the GOPers cat-fighting.
Hilarious to watch the Dems act like this doesn't matter.
Whats the problem? A crazy beat a crazy, voted for by crazies.
We can see the problems this country has within this post . When you disagree with a persons political stance you demonize them personally rather than discuss better ideas
Too Funny - White House Rushing To Explain Eric Cantor's Primary Loss
For those who are unaware, Eric Cantor, the majority leader in the House or Representatives, suffered a double digit loss in his primary election to the TEA party candidate.
The White House is now rushing out to explain that his loss:
"A spokesman for President Obama rushed to assure House Republicans that Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) didn’t actually lose because of his gestures toward Democrats on immigration reform."
someone needs to tell NBC, the New Republic, The Hill, LA Times etc... about this, because they are out of step with Obama's spin on this:
