2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDailyKos reported what many of us having been saying about Cantor's loss
Yes, thousands of Obama voters did vote against Eric Cantor
<snip>
... As I entered precinct data for county after county, the opposite pattern kept popping up for individual counties, something that can be seen in maps of the results and Obama's vote share by precinct. And, not being a Republican, I had to revise my conclusions in the face of the data. In the end, the number of Obama voters who voted for Brat may have been greater than Brat's margin of victory.

(16,149 posts)Hilarity." The joke will be on us when these lunatic nutbars actually WIN. And I think we'll see that with Brat.

(5,754 posts)Even if they win, they will show their true colors once in office and will not get reelected. How can these folks who don't believe in government spending bring home the bucks? For them, believing that government can do nothing is a religion. Wait until constituents contact their offices needing help. What, help you? Read Atlas Shrugged!

(22,651 posts)(until one donates)Its a good strat to vote in the worse R, as is in some states to register as independent. I don't think Brat will win, even if he does he is such a R-nutter he will help their party crash harder.
You can notice in my state soon as one donates to a D, you're on the lists and start getting calls asking for money from all the Ds. You hear not anything, not a peep from Rs at all.
Personally, I do not like having my house 'marked' especially these days and in a red state. Especially when the local 'Gov' is red, red, red.
I don't enjoy the 'classification' systems in our society. People are classed by everything, race, gender, religion, money, you know what I mean? I think its used a lot to discriminate against people at the most local of levels.
