Before House Majority Leader Eric Cantor could tell his fellow Republicans that he was stepping down, Speaker of the House John Boehner began to cry Tuesday in the basement of the Capitol, as he praised his outgoing colleague at a caucus meeting behind closed doors, according to several members of Congress who were present.
Republicans had gathered to honor their leader as he announced plans to leave his leadership on July 31, after losing his primary race on Tuesday. For at least short time, his colleagues stopped their jockeying to replace him and offered words of praise. “Eric Cantor was one of the five most influential people in the United States of America in unseating Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker and giving us a Republican majority,” said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.).
“There was a whole lot of standing ovations for everything that [Cantor] said,” Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah). “It felt like I was at a mortuary watching a viewing.”
Other members said they believed that Cantor lost his job to protect theirs. “I think Eric was in the awkward position of having to go around the nation and every weekend always take care of national issues and business that required him to be outside of his district,” said Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), who is running for Senate. “I’m home in Georgia every single weekend.”
“Ultimately it might have cost him his elected position but good leaders will sacrifice to do what they believe is right,” said Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.).

Perhaps Boehner sees the future...his own ouster.
Manless, pathetic criers.
“Eric Cantor was one of the five most influential people in the United States of America in unseating Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker and giving us a Republican majority,” said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.).
Then he turned on the REAL people who unseated Pelosi...the true conservatives.
It’s obvious Boner and the rest didn’t get the message.
He must have been on the receiving end of regular 'wedgies' in the locker room at Moeller High School.
When is the canonization?
Sounds like these elitists would love to have Cantor as Speaker. Do not be surprised if Boner steps down and they try it.
“Eric Cantor was one of the five most influential people in the United States of America in unseating Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker and giving us a Republican majority,” said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.).

No, Mo. Conservative voters (fewer and fewer of them identifying as Republican by the way) pushed out the Democratic majority, allowing a different set of scavengers to devour the banquet. You and others derive your office from the VOTERS - or not, as in the case of Cantor.
You see Mo, we keep looking for gladiators, and instead we keep getting golf caddies. We have no need for golf caddies, and they will be replaced like your friend there.
Please get a Speaker of the House who has some balls!!!!

Which you then totally squandered doing NOTHING.
I don’t think there is one beyond the cosmetically enhanced men’s clothing store mannequin appearance.
Does this clown EVER stop for a moment to think how ridiculous it looks when the Speaker of the House publicly blubbers?
Can we PLEASE get a replacement....
Not me, after reading that it’s clear they haven’t learned anything.
Empty suits with law degrees in a pity party
Voters are scared to death about their futures as the country collapses
And this is what is going on up there
Bye Bye Juanito..too bad we knew ya’
Feelings are neither right nor wrong. They just are.
Not what you do with those feelings — different story.
Probably because he now knows his days are numbered.
Delusional. Must be a symptom of Potomac Fever.
