quick demise for his Brat problem right now.

That alone shows Cantor may have THOUGHT he was Underwood, but Leader Cantor, I've watched House of Cards, I've listened to Frank Underwood. You, Congressman, are no Frank Underwood.

These tend to be the same people... of course, no one in the MSM will discuss this...

OF course it doesn't help he was a total douche...

This was an echo of Martha Coakley's loss to Scott Brown: the triumph of grassroots mobilization over complacency.

In the long run, I think that we are all better off with Elizabeth Warren and Martha Coakley.

I just saw that Brat's supporters were calling Cantor a "socialist." Hmmm. Sure, many of them using that term are too stupid to know what a socialist really is, but it is a common "charge" against Jews.

Of course, we can justly enjoy the irony as the extreme right of his party was where he staked his ground...

It may also have another, unintended, effect, and that is to provide a shock to other Republican Jews. If they finally wake up and smell the coffee, then they may realize the tea-party has the makings of proto-Nazi party, all they are missing is a unifying leader. People laughed at the tea partiers, but they have been making progress, slowly, but steadily. Look at what just happened in Europe.

Anti-corporate rhetoric, right-populism with a dash of Randianism thrown in...

Right-populism is an emerging threat in Europe and here in the US... The Democratic Left needs to make a serious effort to move their asses away from the corporate trough.
