Your analysis demonstrates Brat was a “regular guy” with concerns only for his country with little support from the TEA Party. Immigration reform, which is a pretty word for amnesty, was no doubt the motivating factor in Cantor’s defeat. I believe the media at large tried to spin Cantor’s defeat away from the amnesty issue into many fragmented somewhat irrelevant issues. <br /><br />The most fascinating detail of your publication was the gerrymandering backfire. Cantor made his district more Republican believing this would give him congressional life rights. However, this made his district more conservative effectively opening the door for Brat. I love it when a one’s devious deeds come back to bite them in the ass.<br /><br />SSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-13512226798431806922014-06-20T00:28:54.512-04:002014-06-20T00:28:54.512-04:00Doug, I really appreciated your "post mortem&...Doug, I really appreciated your "post mortem" on the Cantor defeat.BDnoreply@blogger.com
