Eric Cantor is the first majority leader in US history to lose in a primary, according to @rollcall http://t.co/pgmCIXy0bp

The hunt for a new Majority Leader has begun. Calls already beginning for Cantor to step down. @GOP #thatdidnttakelong

There were about 50,000 voters in VA-7 in 2012. There were about 65,000 tonight. In an open primary. With a result nobody saw coming.

As I have said, the Tea Party is alive and well and fighting hard for the USA. BIG WIN TODAY!

Mark Levin, on Fox, says Cantor’s loss means GOP should “stop chasing ethnic groups, stop chasing genitalia…”

Hey if GOP establishment wants they could move to Mexico and run for office

Stay paranoid! Cantor has the rest of his term and nothing to lose. Lobbyists will not give up on amnesty (then they’d stop getting paid)

Rand Paul scheduled to join Grover Norquist tomorrow on a teleconference discussing the need for immigration reform. Wonder how that’ll go.

BURNN: GOP strategist says main reason Cantor lost is bc of himself. “Maybe he shoulda spent less time in Davos & more time in Culpepper.”

Hoping that Republicans hate Cantor enough that he won’t end up on Fox News.
