Eric Cantor: Jeb 'clearly the serious candidate in the room' (this is not sarcasm)
newsmax ^ | 11/11/15 | s fitzgerald

Jeb Bush has a strong performance on Tuesday night's GOP debate stage and was 'really the serious candidate on stage" with his command of domestic and international policy, former Rep. Eric Cantor said Wednesday.

"Clearly Jeb was back," the one-time House Majority Leader told CNN's "New Day" program.

"Jeb clearly was prepared. He was the one most focused on identifying where conservative policies play out and benefit working people of this country. And was prepared to take on Hillary and did so last night more so than anybody." Bush believes in commonsense conservative policy, Cantor continued, versus what's become the "new norm" under President Barack Obama and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, and the "antics" that candidates like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz engage in concerning immigration are leaving "Hillary Clinton high-fiving in her green room."

"I think that Jeb's clearly focused on winning this campaign, will win this campaign and I think his position on immigration is where most Republicans are and certainly most of the country is," said Cantor. "You can't sit here and assume that 11 million people are somehow going to get rounded up and deported. Jeb talked about ripping apart families and that we don't want to do that."

From Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Cantor

In June 2014, in his bid for re-election, Cantor lost the Republican primary to economics professor Dave Brat in an upset that surprised political analysts. In response Cantor announced his early resignation as House Majority Leader, and several weeks later, he announced his resignation from Congress, which took effect August 18, 2014. Immediately thereafter, Cantor accepted a position as vice chairman of investment bank Moelis & Company at a compensation of $3.4 million.[3] As the US House majority leader, Cantor earned an annual salary of $193,400.[4]

Who says politics doesn't pay. Shut up Eric and go spend your new found wealth.....

former Rep. Eric Cantor said Wednesday.

The same clown that was sent packing, now has the gumption to declare senor el Jebbo is "the serious candidate"?

“You can’t sit here and assume that 11 million people are somehow going to get rounded up and deported.

Make deportation stick, make it degrade your chances of
legal immigration, and you will see a lot of illegals
self-deport in order to have a chance at legal immigration.

And this is THE GUY we just HAD to have for speaker. God help us.

Exactly.

Both Kasich and Bush (and Rubio who would if he had this question and an honest moment) use this ‘compassionate conservatism’ nonsense to excuse the lawlessness of these people toward this country.

Self-deportation will work, guaranteed. Then you mop up what’s left and send them home. The last to go will be the criminals.

Kiss ‘O Death when Eric Cantor gives you an endorsement. When will the GOPe admit Bush is a dead horse and switch their millions in donations to Rubio?
