Cantor, proving to be the weasel we figured he was.
It really says a lot about your local political ‘thugs’. This wasn’t done by the DC crowd....this was Republican county chiefs from the eastern side of Virginia. They met...discussed in a short session...a couple of guys disagreed, but the vote was done and that was the end of the episode.
In my book....none of these guys are real Republicans...just more fakers...like the big league guys in DC. There’s a problem here with both parties. Both need to be completely fired, and bring in several options for folks to clean up this mess.

This was a local phenomenon, reflecting a much more clarified vision of what is right for the district and its conservative constituents, not what is right for the state party or national party.
The binding rules of leadership -
1 - Find a parade and get around in front of it;
2 - Step off smartly and express every nuance of those who have gathered into the parade; and finally,
3 - From time to time, look back and see if anybody is still in your parade.
The cry has been heard over and over, “I didn’t leave the party, the party left me.”
Find a party that DOES march to your drummer.
McConnell’s fingerprints are all over this.
