If you are like me, and you are in more ways that you would like to admit, sometime last night you opened your computer machine and exclaimed to you basset hounds/cats/significant other, Holy shit, Eric Cantor lost!
Then you probably giggled uncontrollably for hours on end, pausing to read the headlines again, and then giggled some more before going back to watching Law & Order: SVU reruns.
Today, as many of his pals in the House are saying Kaddish for him while calling him my friend, the postmortems are rolling in as pundits pick through the wreckage trying to figure out what the hell happened.

(81,110 posts)He had this air of entitlement bigger than donald sterling and mitt wrongney put together. As though he were the king-to-be. Just not quite crowned yet. All ready to collect his personal "property" that was earmarked just for him: the Speakership. And/Or MORE. SMUG as SHIT. Glad he got it - and got it this bad!

He couldn't have been much more unlikeable than he was.

(81,110 posts)Glad you're here! Love your screen name! Certainly spells out how I feel about that rat-bastard/war criminal! eric cantor had a - shall we say "aroma" about him of just nonstop smug. Prancing swaggering smugness. Arrogant like no other. I think he fully expected coronations in his future. I remember hearing how he was the all-but-anointed First Jewish Speaker of the House. Well, so much for THAT, I guess.

(11,357 posts)... why would "doxydad" have basset hounds? What happened to the dachshunds?
on topic: He was every bit as much of a dick when he was first elected. It's not like he's changed or anything.

(426 posts)straight to MSNBC to hear all the proposed reasons for why he lost. One idea: that he lost because the more mainstream Republicans thought Cantor had the primary locked up. If true, still wondering how that affects the Brat in the general?

Jesus Saves, the GOP?
They seem to think so, along with a healthy dose of holy cash.
