re: #187 Backwoods_Sleuth

and still trying to figure out what Cantor has to do with any of it

Not wrt Kentucky, anyway. I thought Eric Cantor’s fate was usually framed as a “classic” case of the Establishment Party Stalwart getting sandbagged by his constituents in favor of the Extremist-but-Popular Insurgent.

That he was also virtually the last Jewish Republican in any serious national office was probably irrelevant.
