I think the base has made it clear how it feels about immigration. Perhaps Cantor can now pimp for Mark Zuckerberg and the Chamber of Commerce. Brat's victory over Cantor in the primary marked the first defeat of an incumbent House Majority Leader since the position's creation in 1899!
This was the Tea Party working as it was intended-from the bottom up. David Brat enjoyed tremendous support from the Richmond Tea Party. They are the ones who rang the doorbells and drove the voters to the polls and they are the people who should be taking the bows with David Brat. According to Laura Ingraham Brat could not get Mary Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots on the phone. Tea Party Express was MIA as were the usual big donors such as the Club for Growth and Americans for Prosperity. Brat raised only about $200,000 while being outspent by a 20 to 1 ratio. Again the Tea Party worked as we always thought it should!
