These guys will just be moderates with no leader. There is no need to protest vote against them if Cantor isn't forming some RINO coalition with them. Boehner may look west for a new crew.
Why would Boehner look west? He has the sizable RINO Peter King right above
Professor Brat hasn’t won that seat yet.
Let’s send him something:

Same thing for McDaniel:

Comstock’s facebook post about how wonderful Cantor is and what a class act he is turned my stomach. Cantor has not congratulated Brat by name nor has he thrown his support behind Brat.
So, no. PUMA.
Barbara comstock needs to do well! It will be the only high profile congressional race in the wash tv market ...high profile because the Washington media want her to lose so the Dems pick up a seat.
Ed Gillespie needs comstock to do very well!
So you are rooting for a 95% conservative to lose to a 95% liberal just because the 95% conservative has had some kind words for a defeated 95% conservative?
Guess what, the Daily Kos crowd agrees with you.
Conservatives in VA-07 (with a helping hand from Paultards and from liberal Democrats running interference in the open primary) took a gamble by nominating Brat over Cantor, since (i) we have no idea how Brat will vote while in Congress, since he does not have a record to support his self-proclaimed conservative issue positions, and (ii) it improves the Democrats’ odds of winning the general (although that Trammell guy they nominated appears to be a loser, so Brat should have no trouble winning). But at least pro-Brat conservatives had a rational reason for supporting Brat: their belief that Brat would have a 100% conservative voting record, and that defeating Cantor would result in a 100% conservative House Majority Leader. Now, I suspect that neither of those goals will be achieved (Rand Paul already came out for annesty, so Brat probably will follow suit, and the new Majority Leader will have some flaws, as do all politicians, and likely won’t even be more conservative than Cantor), but at least it was strategy consistent with our goal of a conservative government. Supporting 95% liberal Democrats over 95% conservative Republicans, however, is irrational and, frankly, stupid. The VA-10 and the VA-02 (the CDs in which Comstock and Rigell are the GOP nominees) gave Obama 48.8% and 50.1%, respectively, in 2012, so the liberal Democrats running for those seats surely could win if Republicans don’t unite around the nominee chosen by the district’s Republicans. Someone who supports the 95% liberal Democrat over the 95% conservative Republican is no conservative, and would be more comfortable somewhere like DU.
Rand Paul is running for president not congress. Only Rand Paul and Labrador are the amnesty pushers that are Paul backed. There was a post on here warning that establishment-backed Vaughn Ward was better than immigration lawyer Raul Labrador.
Broun, Ted Yoho, Walter Jones and Kerry Bentivolio are backed by Pauls and clearly opposed to amnesty. They are in Steve King’s gang of 70.
Brat is stronger on foreign policy than Paul.
Everyong hates Cantor. The liberals hate his “disrespect” for King Obama. Pauls dont like his foreign policy. The Tea Party doesn’t like his amnesty.
A gay marriage, open borders RINO-libertarian running as a Democrat wont win against Brat.
