House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s primary loss to Dave Brat indicates a ‘No Confidence’ vote among his constituents in Virginia congressional district 7.
Those who say his loss was due to Democrat meddling should read this. It proves, even if true, Cantor would’ve won if he earned the same votes as his 2012 primary.
(2014 Total votes cast: 65,000. For Cantor: 29,000. Cantor got 37,000 in 2012.)
Some argue he can still press immigration reform before leaving office in January, but 8,000 fewer votes (for him) than in 2012 is a compelling rebuttal to such conjecture.
Any who claim that exit polling showed immigration reform is wanted should be aware that the polling was predicated on secure borders…which Obama won’t enforce.
Serious questions will arise if he acts contrary to his district’s wishes, going forward.
