How embarrassing!  This won't do much to end the narrative that the GOP is at war with itself.

Holy... crap.

Who will be the new Whip, then?  McCarthy?

McCarthy is already the Whip.  Cantor is/was the Majority Leader.  Tongue

Wait, is Simfan only just now realizing that his party of choice is full of racists?  I guess that would explain why a black guy in 2014 is a Republican in the first place...

I have known that the racists were around for a long time. I just didn't realise they were this powerful. They have overwhelmed the leadership. It is not a racist party, it is a party being hijacked by racists.

Uh, this hijacking has been in progress for about fifty years.  You didn't see it coming?

I honestly am amazed at the level of attacks on Brat for somehow being anti-semitic. I just can't comprehend some of these posts at all.

Eric Cantor losing is not the end of the GOP. Sorry folks. Kevin McCarthy or Cathy McMorris Rogers is going to replace him, and nothing will change in Washington-besides Boehnor's biggest threat being removed. Cantor was a man who put ambition over ideology; he'd stab his mother in the back for power. And everyone wins tonight-the GOP leadership, the Tea Party, and the Democrats, who have ridded the man most responsible for the shutdown.

The only narrative that comes from this is "GOP CIVIL WAR CLAIMS MAJORITY LEADER".  That is hardly a message the GOP needs to still be fighting against five months before the mid-terms.

One last funny and typical Eric Cantor note: he uses the handle @GOPLeader rather than his name for his official Twitter account (even Boehner and Pelosi use their name). @GOPLeader

I'm guessing he'll have to move to a new one soon.

He also has an @EricCantor account that he uses actively.  The @GOPLeader account is for posting twats concerning that particular job, which means yes, he'll most likely hand over control of it to the next guy.
