re: #196 Jay C

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.

I would agree with that. I know Cantor’s district. It’s more classic right wing economic snobs tho they did elect a Democrat.
