House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his Republican primary Tuesday in a stunning defeat to Dave Brat, a little-known tea party-backed challenger, in one of the biggest upsets in recent political history.
Brat had 56 percent of the vote to Cantor’s 44 percent.
Mr. Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College who called his win a “miracle,” defeated Mr. Cantor by 56 percent to 44 percent with all precincts reporting. CNN and The Associated Press called the race just a little over an hour after Virginia polls closed at 7 p.m.
Wild Thing’s comment………..
This was great news.
A day before the VIRGINIANS spoke Dave was on THE GREAT ONE’s – Mark Levin Show – and THEY both…
BELIEVED! What an a_s kicking margin of VICTORY as the ELITE CANTOR – the House majority WHIP – got whipped! And the TEA PARTY is supposedly dead, eh? Well Jesus was supposedly DEAD until three days afterwards!
I hate that Lindsey Graham won but revel that Cantor was defeated.
Whipped Cantor did not have the MAN in him nor CLASS to congratulate his victorious opponent yesterday! This is how ELITE RINOS and LEFTARDS act… In 145 days WE retake the US Senate!
