Historic Loss: House Majority Leader Cantor Loses Virginia Primary To Tea Party's Brat
While The Tea Party had been relatively aggressive in the race, it is still quite shocking to the establishment that the second-highest House Republican just got unseated (despite outspending Brat by a ratio of 20-to-1) by a local tea-party-backed economics professor:
- *HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER CANTOR LOSES VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
- *DAVID BRAT BEATS CANTOR IN VIRGINIA PRIMARY, AP REPORTS
- *TEA PARTY CHALLENGER BEATS SECOND-HIGHEST HOUSE REPUBLICAN: AP
Echoing Europe's dissatisfaction with the status quo, it appears the announcement of the death of the Tea Party was a little premature. Cantor was elected to Congress in 2000... looks like we have to add one to initial jobless claims this week.
Cantor's loss is the first time in history a sitting House Majority Leader has been defeated for renomination in a primary.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the Speaker-in-waiting who was bidding for his seventh term in Congress, was defeated in a primary election by a little-known conservative economics professor, David Brat, in one of the most stunning upsets in modern political history.
Brat defeated Cantor despite having no experience in elected office and despite Cantor outspending him by a margin of nearly 20-to-1. The Associated Press called the race for Brat shortly after 8 p.m., an hour after polls closed in Virginia's 7th district. Brat was leading Cantor, 56 percent to 44 percent, with 80 percent precincts reporting.
For Cantor, the loss marks an abrupt end to a fast rise through the House leadership, a path that many expected would make him the first Jewish Speaker in U.S. history.
And it is perhaps the most significant jolt to the Republican establishment since the emergence of the Tea Party in 2009. While conservative activists have ousted veteran Republicans like Sens. Bob Bennett (Utah) and Richard Lugar (Ind.), a sitting majority leader has never been defeated in a primary election.
...
Wary of allowing Tea Party groups to turn his district into a top battleground, Cantor unleashed a an early and heavy barrage of negative ads against Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College who previously lost a race for the state legislature. Cantor spent more than $1 million on the primary and attacked Brat as a “liberal” who served on an advisory board for former Gov. Tim Kaine at a time when the Democrat was pushing tax increases.
In the waning days of the race, conservative radio stars Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin boosted Brat and condemned Cantor for backing “amnesty” for illegal immigrants. The attacks came even as Cantor was under fire from advocates of immigration reform for his refusal to bring legislation to the House floor that would offer legal status for undocumented immigrants.
Cantor's friends are FURIOUS, said he was told by consultants that he was up 20-30 points, didn't need to worry...

Brat on Fox: "The issue is the Republican Party has been paying too much attention to Wall Street, and not enough attention to Main Street"

Meet The Man Who Just Crushed Eric Cantor (via ABC)
Brat, who admits that he has supported several Cantor candidacies over the years, says he mounted his improbable primary campaign because the House GOP's No. 2 leader has lost touch with his constituents, "veering from the Republican creed."
"Years ago he had a good conservative track record, but now he's veered off," Brat told ABC News during an interview on Capitol Hill. "If you go to Heritage and look at their score, I think he's at about a 53 right now. I mean, that's an F-minus."
Heritage Action's scorecard tracks Republican votes, co-sponsorships and other legislative activity to gauge how conservative members of Congress are performing. Cantor actually receives a 52 percent, which ranks seventh among eight Virginia House Republicans.
While a recent profile of the race in the Washington Post characterized Brat as "a potential threat," the quirky challenger knows he has a tough road to victory in the June 10 primary.
"Most of these [primary] races don't kick in until about 30 days prior," he said. "Now everyone's looking, what's the race? It's an open primary and it's just Eric and I on the ticket."
Brat, 49, isn't the first primary challenger Cantor has faced. The Richmond Republican smoked primary challenger Floyd Bayne in 2012 by nearly 60 percentage points before cruising to a 17-point victory in the general election.
But with low primary turnout (just 47,000 voters turned out in the primary two years ago) and anti-incumbency fervor at an all-time high, Cantor's team says they aren't overlooking Brat, although they "don't see him getting a great deal of traction."
"We're on the ground, running the campaign," Cantor campaign spokesman and senior strategist Ray Allen said in a phone interview. "We take every figure seriously and do our own due diligence. It is what it is."
Brat claims "the money is flowing in right now," expanding an underwhelming campaign war chest that he last reported contained just $40,000.
"The race was once viewed as a long-shot, [but] it's tightening now," Brat said. "We're well over double, triple what we had on the books just a month ago and so now we're getting the national attention I always hoped."
Brat complained that Cantor, 50, has a "crony-capitalist mentality" to take care of the corporate sector ahead of the interests of small businesses.
"On the conservative scorecard, on the free market votes, he's doing everything wrong," Brat said. "He's not following what folks in his district want him to do and it's hurting the country."
Allen described Brat as "a weird duck" and criticized him for serving on then-Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine's Joint Advisory Board of Economists.
"Eric Cantor is a conservative leader," Allen, who has advised Cantor's campaigns since 1991, said. "[Brat] doesn't like being called a liberal college professor, but that's what he is and what he's always been. Tea Party conservatives don't serve as an economic adviser to Tim Kaine."
Brat calls himself as a "free market guy," and says he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He also pledged never to increase taxes and to stick to a five-year promise not to vote to increase the debt limit.
"This isn't a personal race. I'm not running against Eric," he stressed. "I'm just running on the founding principles that Adam Smith and free markets - they made us the greatest nation on the Earth. All right? It's no mystery. Our rights, tradition, along with free markets and the Judeo-Christian tradition all together made us the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. I think we're veering off course a little bit there and I want to get us back on that course that brought us to greatness."
If Brat ultimately wins the primary and is seated in the 114 th Congress, he would not commit his vote for speaker to House Speaker John Boehner, but offered his support to any contender who's "more free market and more fiscally responsible."
"I'd have to take a good look at what they're doing but I support people who follow the Republican creed, and so it doesn't look like the leadership is doing a good job on that right now," Brat said.
"They're not free market at all, right? They do not take free market seriously and they're off on fiscal responsibility."

it's the biggest blow to the GOP establishment in years. Whole network of DC Rs have been wired into Cantor, prepping for when he got gavel

Kind of hard to get the news when your mouth/ass is always full of cock.
Can't wait until smeone leaks the official name of Holder's operation inviting illegals to invade our southern border...
Operation Fast & Furious...no that's already been used.
How about Operation Back Door? or
Operation Azz Fuck America?
Operation Minor Migration Militia Mission, referred to as OMMMM.
It's transcendent.
No, this is the best news of the year
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/07/technology/internet-giants-erect-barri...
I don't buy that for a second. Nothing more than propaganda.
They look lost.....naw......I'm not going to give them directions.
Im so Happy I could Shi,,,,,,,,,,,,ooops.
Ill be back in a while.....
Go Tea!
Aaaahhhh, that's toooo baaad... a blow to the ruling political elite... but now the toad gets a fatso pension @ tax payi6ng US citizens expense who only have comparatively feeble, meager 401Ks.
I'll happily pay the fuckers to go away.
Er, let's NOT pay the Cantor and say we did !
Cantor will find a VERY CUSHY job working for the same guys he's been, er, working for all along.
We'll see if the establishment throws Brat under the bus...
Better news would be finding out the federal government has been completely dissolved. But this is pretty nice.
Ha ha. There's the door, asshole!
THROW THE BUMS OUT.
SHUT IT ALL DOWN & TURN OFF THE LIGHTS.
WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE OPPRESSIVE 'REPRESENTATION' BULLSHIT.
Hmmm, militant bean-counters are in? I may actually toss my hat in the ring the next go around. I do think Conned-gress could use a few private sector, non-Wall Street corporate bean-counters rather than a couple more lawyers.
In 2006 we were a $65 million company, this year we are a $30 million company...but we're scratching out a profit. Our annual financial audit was completed today, it took two weeks. And I close May tomorrow. And this is 50 companies. It was 43, but we added another seven in April by buying out the competition in a new market.
From what I see, most of our business has grown into some sort of governmental relationship. We don't actually have a lot of government contracts, but our customers do. Our true private market has shrunk to less than 20% of sales.
I've actually had to go into a real cesspool. But the cesspool of politics is something my personal ethos really balks at..those fuckers literally gag me. I made my descent into that real cesspool to pull a person out. The only way I would go into the cesspool of politics would be with the intent of clearing it with a shovel and dynamite. (And dynamite throws shit pretty far and wide.)
I'm not a vain man: I'm pretty simple, stupid, and basically nobody special.
We need to start electing 'nobody specials' that are like me, only they have the balls to run.
You are welcome people....
TEA ain't dead yet fellers.
Maybe there is a god...,
and maybe she's pissed;)
A pissed off female god 0.0 hell have no fury like a woman scorn...
Is The Tribe finally paying attention. People are finally awake. Fuck You !!
You really have to wonder about that. Nudleman still out pumping up Ukraine coup. Things do seem to be skidding out of control for the Quo.
Let the Ukraine's take care of themselves.....we've got our own marxist coup to take care of here right at home.
Yes, the Representative from the US Chamber of Crony commerce lost. It's is a good day.
Maybe the Republic has some life left in it after all? Charles Gasparino's "Bought & Paid For" went into great detail on how Boehner and Cantor went to Wall Street with hands out before the 2010 midterms. Cantor is a Wall Street War Party Guy through and through. And his worst crime, I think, was his hedging on Comprehensive Immigration Reform; saying he's against it, then taking Zuckerberg $$ and trying to find ways to bring more stoop labor into a country that has trouble employing its own citizens. The citizens of VA-7 were sick of it. Well done guys. (And it wasn't particularly close: Cantor went down 57-43.)
Cantor was also an anti-gun Fascist Bloomturd cock sucker (who specifically staged campaign events in gun-free/target rich environments).
Good Riddance.
I hope statist Lindsay Graham is next to go.
No chance. Tea Party fielded 6 candidates, that's to high a number for Gamecock fans to count to, let alone to figure out who to vote for. A shame though, because Graham sucks (literally).
Right now, He and Barry are fondling each other's dicks in celebration!
You know, it might be better for your long term mental health is you just came out of the closet now.
haha.
Tool.
There you go again.
Whose bag are you holding, zio-commie?
"Cantor went down 57-43"
Polling was supposedly showing Cantor winning by 62 to 28!
Someone's out of the polling business...
Should send a message to the Rs about Immigration reform.
"Should send a message to the Rs about Immigration reform."
Agreeed...but think of the message this sends to the D's for November.
Where does one start? The IRS, VA, Immgration, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, Obamacare...
to say folks are "PISSED" is an understatement
Show trials and executions!
later ...
MOAR show trials and executions!
Hey, Christian, good to see You around; hope You are well.
Cheers!
I really think this is a serious "Holy shit!!!" moment for establishment Republicans right now. Democrats are watching in the shadows rubbing their chins looking for angles on how to use this, but the R party is up for grabs.
I also think there is an underlying current in the country of anger on both the Left and the Right. Since we are alreadyt the USSA the Right actually has the responsibility of making the changes and that is where the Tea Party comes in.
The old guard blue blood Republicans have the money but the Tea Party has the passion and energy and that gives them the edge.
Who wants to bet that Cantor will run as a write in, just to fuck over Brat and the conservatives?
He and his RINO pals would rather let a socialist have that seat than a conservative...
He can't. Virginia has a 'sore loser law' that specifically states 'if you are voted out in a primary, your name cannot appear on a ballot.
That is wonderful, doing research now hope your right.. You are right, suck it Cantor you elitist prick..
Excellent. Thanks for that.
Now Cantor can join a lobbying firm in DC and make 10 times as much as before.
It never ends...
Can you suck Obama's balls? Yes you Cantor.
He's been doing that for years. Now he'll go work for some beltway think-tank and dream up ways to fuck the people now that he's out of office...
But, Cantor will always savor the sweat from Barry's Balls.
Mr Speaker.....you are next
FUCK YES!!!
Anyone from his congressional district have any info to shed on this?
What do you want to know? Brat came in late, underfunded, but for the Constitution, anti-immigration, for ethics in govt, and fiscal sanity.
he had only 200k to Cantor's 2 million, and the ads were bad stuff, real Virginian's are pissed...I don't count those in the Northern Peoples Republic of Virginia...we call that place Communist Country.
This is cause for excitement? Seriously? So a guy who has worked in politics before and who supported Cantor in the past is going to change the world? Another distraction. I'm glad Cantor lost. But based on the summary above, he lost to a slightly less douche version of himself who is saying the same things mainstream R's have been saying for decades -- no new taxes, Judeo-Christian values, America is number 1, etc. Did I miss the part where he said he was going to end the Fed, dismantle the NSA, significantly reduce the MIC, or any of the other stuff that would actually mean something?
Yes, the Republicans are going to save us.
lol, lol, lol...
Yeah.....I don't think the progressive republicans are any different than the progressive democrats.
It's all been for show.
I dont give a flying fuck who the progressive is, but we are coming after them ALL!!!!! Progressivism must die a horrible death (politically speaking), as it is the scourge of this country...fuck the Fabian Socialistas!
Save us, not you. The leftist will be left behind, waitng on the ebt card to be recharged.
No, you missed the part where he will sponsor a "law" FORCING YOU to buy something from a PRIVATE COMPANY or be fined by the STATE ;-)
(Kidding...but you should be very happy it wasn't someone like me who beat Cantor, revenge is a dish best served cold, I would have no remorse...none)
The two party system is a lie. This guy won't change shit except -- maybe -- to rearrange some deck chairs. He's not even talking about real change. The country was broken beyond repair a long time before Obamacare came along as the latest slap in the face. The fact that this type of "victory" still gets so many here on ZH excited to the point of giddiness is another reminder that we're fucked and there will never be real change.
Yeah...and Ted Cruz's wife works for Goldman...yada yada.
You Fabian socialist assholes put a fucking dictator in, with his head so far up Keynes' ass all he ever seriously thinks about is golf and on what premise again, a vaporous Change thingy blown through a Hopium pipe?
Blowback is a real bitch ain't it?
Exactly. Ted Cruz's wife does work for Goldman, and he hasn't changed shit yet you Red Team clowns still think he's the second coming. If your idea of blowback is to cheer for a Republican who has absolutely nothing new to offer other than being slightly to the right of the guy he's going to replace, I won't even need to check my hair.
Do we need to run through the Communist Manifesto again, the majority of which you already agreed with?
And you want to talk about a bank-state alliance?
Can you ever stay on subject or does it always have to revert to you calling me a Marxist as your comeback? Are you also holding your breath and stomping your feet while you type?
I'm just calling you a fucking socialist.
You have a problem with that or do you plan to refute it?
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Yes or no?
////////
Yes or no bitch, I've had it with your obfuscating, twisting, prevaricating ass.
///////
Like I said before, I'll give you credit for your honesty (its rare with a socialist) but your refusal to answer, will suffice.
///////
You and I caught in the same trap eh? I...refusing to tell nothing but the truth and you refusing to admit truth.
And you expect "the law you built" to work in this enviroment. I'm here to destroy everything you guys built...everything, you must know this by now ;-)
>> This guy won't change shit
This sounds a whole lot like the whoopala when Scot Brown took Kennedy's place in MA. Turns out all Scot wanted was free health care for life. But the red team stooges never give up.
Check the foreign policy position to illuminate truer intentions vs. the propaganda facade.
Looked like the doped up hippie doesn't know what to think right about now.
We're excited because an establishment asshat got tossed out on his ear. We know that it will take much more than this to unfuck America, but thank God for small miracles, right? Journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step kind of stuff.
Now if you're one of those people who just likes to bitch, no matter what, then feel free. Personally, I'm very happy to see Cantor go and I'm going to give Brat the benefit of the doubt until he proves me wrong.
LetThemeatrand
Why did you have to spoil everything?
I'm sitting here reading posts from people who repeatedly claim to have lost faith in the two party system, cheering because a guy who said some extremely tired and worn Republican talking points beat another Republican in a primary. That's depressing to me, so I'm sharing my misery.
Yes and my supposed elation is about as real as your supposed depression.. Idiot, we know what hapopened and it is just fun to fucking dance on his grave while he picks out carpet for his K street corner office..
TP is a third party dipshit, its eating one of the two parties from the inside out while the "other party" clings to whatever the fuck it used to stand for...like teachers unions...fighting against kids or sumpin...
LOS ANGELES — A California judge ruled Tuesday that teacher tenure laws deprive students of their right to an education under the state Constitution and violate their civil rights. The decision hands teachers’ unions a major defeat in a landmark case, one that could radically alter how California teachers are hired and fired and prompt challenges to >>>tenure laws<<< in other states.

It's average!!!
lol...
Did it ever occur to you Rand that it just feels good to see the establishment get a stick in the eye every once in a while? Sure in the big picture it means nothing, but it's nice to get a win, however small, every now and then.
I get your point, but there's a lot more than that going on in this thread.
More than you will ever know or appreciate.
I'm more confused by the giddiness.
I don't know. It seems voting for Kang or Kodos really never makes a difference in the long run. I'm just to cynical to care anymore.
Miffed;-)
As long as the incumbents take it on the chin, so be it as well and good.
miffed-absolutely have given up on democracy in america. the republic died when the supreme court allowed $$$$$$$$$$...
yellen rules our ass-admitt it, step one.
There were republics long before Yellens.
actually 1913, (she, it, greatness) started the demise.
Indeed.
And before I would abolish the IRS, or even the Fed I would want to see the 17th Amendment repealed.
That would hand the control of the Senate and the SCOTUS back to the State Legislatures.
The demise of the Fed and the income tax (16th) would follow in in due course.
It would also be pretty much a death blow to K Street.
"That would hand the control of the Senate and the SCOTUS back to the State Legislatures."
Now you're talking completely over the common socialist head, who abuse populism to their own statist purposes.
I disagree. If it's not a third-party win it doesn't matter.
"Whoever's in, get him out!"
Whoever you vote for, the government gets in.
I think the best message that could be sent is next to no one voting. If there were literally 3 votes in an election, it would show how the people do not buy into the BS anymore. It would be a clear signal that the people do not think the government is legitimate. That's the problem with getting excited over this. It is living in fantasy elections matter land. They don't.
this news is even larger when you consider the primary was open. much bigger deal - malox consumption by rinos will increase.
all i can think is "the cocksucker" , and actually the rest of them too...
For those who don't know, Cantor was the ONLY republican Jew in Congress, and in line to be the next Speaker of the House.
There are dozens of Dims.
This sends a BIG message to RINOs pushing for amnesty. All of this national security violation crap on the border right now and all that shit plastered all over drudge is what won this today for Brat. Americans have spoken loud and clear about amnesty and it is: NO way jose. Cantor has been one of the biggest amnesty supporters in the GOP lately and it cost him his job today.
Meat, the latest Beltway Bandit...
This is fucking huge. I hope he is just the first of many rinos to fall. Let's see what shitty fuck you America legislation the lame duck repukes ram through after the election.
Cantor led the charge to make sure he and his cronies could continue to trade on insider information. If any one deserves a GITMO cockmeat sandwich it's him.
Beating him in a primary isn't enough. We need to bring back stocks in the town square.
The King is Dead. Long live the King!
Mejor el diablo conocido que el angel por conocer.
Americans are fucking tired of liberal Republicans!
This little shit is out.
>> liberal Republicans!
Liberal Republicans? WTF are you kidding? There aren't any liberal Democrats for gods sakes. It's a fucking free for all with no ideology at all.
The Democrats in Congress are socialists.
The Republicans are liberals.
Fire all the incumbents.
No, the Democrats are Communists.
The Republicans are also Communists, but prefer it by the drink, not the keg.
Word up there dawg!
Your misdirection bullshit is getting real old. and quite tiresome.. Shut up, no idealogy, yeah that cloward-piven bullshit at the border is all in our imaginations..
Wtf are you talking about? There's been nothing but a huge expansion of government and taxation .There's been an explosion of spending, non-stop interference in markets, increased regulations on business, an all out assault on guns, open borders, more control over the actions of the individual, all those things that liberals love. I've watched .gov expand under every administration, but it's been nothing like I've witnessed in these last six years.
You don't remember when the trust fund was given to the MIC by St. Ron and his partner, George?
Pay attention to what I said. .gov has expanded under every administration but nothing like it has under this one. Thanks for bringing that up though, because that reminded me of the fact that we now see the liberals like the warfare state just as much as the neo-cons.
R & D both want big government.
It's killing small business and local communities.
R=D=R=D
To be fair, government expansions should be measured on a percentage basis rather than a nominal dollar basis.
I don't know where the truth lies. Nobody seems to want the
people to know what the numbers really are. Barry is one of the worst in this regards. If you can find out what the REAL numbers are, they'll probably need to kill you.
It isn't just nominal dollars spent on a percentage basis that matter. For example, what if the feds pass a law, and spending no nominal or 'real' dollars by the way, stating that all resources and people belong to them? The point is that there is more than one way for a government parasite to kill its host and nominal dollars as a percent of nominal GDP, especially these days, is not enough by a long shot (and that ignores the very biased measure of such things as GDP and governement, etc. today).
You don't have a clue what a liberal is. It's just a demon that been fed to you. You are as brain washed as anyone.
Please go away, you can't argue worth a fuck.
Oh goodie, America is DESTINED for greatness now, what with brilliant leaders such as this. Thanks for the reminder why I bailed out.
Still all in all what a great fuck you to the republicon establishment, good on you brat...!!
And you can say one of Israel’s most important ties to the U.S. Congress has been severed; for it was Cantor who has been the key arranger for Netanyahu to come and speak to the Congress. And it is Cantor who more than any other Congressman has carried the water for Israel’s control of the United States Congress.
Perhaps this is the most significant Tea Party victory of the primary season.
Hey man, I aint got nothing against the Jews, I could think of alot worse people that could be runnin the money supply
Ok so we got one vote for a foreign power exerting significant sway over the Gov. Money supply, and I guess the media too?
The thing is JR, there's just so many more.
NSA analysis of the People's data indicated it was time to toss one overboard, placating the tempest and staying the course.
Bingo; although I don't think most in the Tea Party know how big it really is, because most don't even know or make the connection.
Hope my votes today counts for as much...the best I can hope for is to embarrass our RINO governor Brian Sandoval, the great hispanic hope. He left a lifetime federal judgeship to run for gov. Immediately discovered the virues of spending and taxing. If I wanted those I'd vote for a D. They do those things much better.
HAHAHAA! Fucking idiots. Backwoods, redneck, toothless, brain-dead, stupid neanderthals.
Good. Let the Republican Party field nothing but these no-intelligence creatures this fall. It's the ONLY way the Democrats have a chance of winning anything.
Democrats may not love people like me, but at least they aren't filled with hate and ignorance.
There sure is a lot of hate and ignorance in your rant.
Hate and ignorance? No. An understanding of these people? Yes.
They're hypocrites. They want freedom and disdain "Big Sis". Unless, of course, some group or another wants the same rights and freedoms as do they. Then, by all means - let Big Sis at them.
These people populate the area in which I grew up. That's how I know them so well.
Hypocritical ignoramuses. That's what they are.
Explain 'these people'. Who are you stigmatizing??
It's reverse hate and ignorance.
Remember, liberals love eveyone, racist.
hahahaha .........
I never have pretended to love everybody. Jesus may have, but I haven't.
At least I'm not a fucking hypocritical ignoramus.
>> a lot of hate
Take a gander at your own screed for god's sakes.
Yep you got me. I hold a lot of disdain for big government. Guilty as charged.
They aren't? Seriously? Watch much TV or listen to any democrat politicians talk?
Read any political blogs and the mean-spirited name calling people are not the ones easily identified as conservative or libertarian - quite the opposite.
Another know nothing libtard weighs in on Zerohedge with his hate-filled little smarmy posts accusing others of what he practices.
Same old same old.
Boo-hoo, poor you.
These people would put my kind in interment camps and ovens if they could get away with it. That's what they REALLY want. A theocracy based on a book written a few thousand years ago BY HEBREWS. Jews. You know - modern-day Israelites. A book, by the way, that they barely if at all understand on their own. They have to have somebody tell them what it means (to them) every week.
Name calling isn't name calling if you are calling a duck a duck.

Of course it's not really about education. Call it anti-denial. It's more about grabbing someone by the back of the neck and grinding their face into a mound of shit.
