Meh good riddance. Cantor was always one of the worst in the GOP establishment and a huge part of the government shutdown debacle. I have no idea who Brat is but I probably would have voted for him after that. Maybe Brat will turn out to be a disaster, but if he does, his disaster will most likely not have as far reaching effects since he isn't a part of the House leadership.
Simfan, Cantor's religion has absolutely nothing to do with this. What part of the Gospels did Brat quote? Unless he's saying "His blood is on our hands and the hands of our children" or something along those lines, it probably had nothing to do with Cantor whatsoever. And of course he thinks he's the right guy to win. What remotely competitive politician doesn't believe that? Simfan, the human mind is made to see patterns even where there are none. There's none here.
TJ, why does it not bother you as a blue avatar that your party is about to have ZERO non-Christians serving in either chamber of Congress or in state-level executive office?
And when the sole Jewish Republican is turned out of office by his party, his opponent gloats by highlighting his own Christianity?
