So what exactly killed Cantor? He won his district by 17 points just two years ago.

Yeah. Way too young. Ditto James Gandolfini, too.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
Hopefully the message the GOP takes away from this is to end all plans for immigration reform and start introducing bills to make English-speaking mandatory to receive all (greatly-reduced) govt handouts. And a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage
GOP will never lose another election!!!!

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
BTW, I looked it up, and Virginia does have open primaries. So some Dems may have helped doom Cantor.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
The Cantor election is about the only case where a Tea Party candidate defeated an Establishment candidate so far this cycle. Yet the conventional MSM wisdom is that the Tea Party has assumed total control over the GOP.

Re: Puterbac News Network and Political Discussion Thread
With Cantor's defeat, there will not be a single non-Christian Republican in the House or Senate.
Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any Black Republicans currently in congress.
With the immigration battle probably seizing up Republican efforts to reach out to Latinos, the GOP will have to get 70%-75% of the White vote in 2016 to win the presidency.

And on the Good Samaritan in Las Vegas: he saw the gunman and got the drop on him. What he didn't know was the gunman's wife was behind him. She drew her weapon and shot the GS as he was attempting to apprehend her husband.
