Democrats can't get a viable candidate to run against Eric Cantor. Ever.

Cantor is a complete slime ball why do Democrats run comeplete doofuses (doofi?) election cycle after election cycle?

In a heated exchange on his show Tuesday night, Sean Hannity told the Democratic challenger to Rep. Eric Cantor that he’d bet money he loses his House race.

“Good luck to you,” Hannity said in the end to a quarrelsome interview with Mike Dickinson. “You’re gonna lose; I’ll put any amount of money on it, and you’re gonna lose badly.”

I watched the exchange, it was horrible, the guy running as a Democrat against Cantor was just embarassing, I'll give him that he was probably nervous, but that was just ugly. Hannity is acomplete slimeball too, just like Cantor.

1. Because it's hopeless...

...so the only people who run are those who have nothing to lose and nothing better to do. Dream all you want about the power of progressive ideas; Cantor, and Boehner, and Ryan are in protected, gerrymandered districts. The only way to dfeat them is to get control of their STATEHOUSES and control redistricting in 2022. Otherwise you're wasting resources of time and money that could be used to win seats elsewhere.

5. Nothing to lose and nothing better to do doesn't necessarily equate doofus.

2. For whatever reason, the party

has a longstanding tradition of not "wasting" really good candidates against safe GOP incumbents...Unless there was some big scandal or screwup by Cantor and he was really vulnerable, THEN the party would dump all their resources in the race...

3. Slime ball isn't the half of it

The is backed by dark money and Satan.

4. I guess people forget

that some of us supported a fine candidate, Wayne Powell, whom the professional Democrats chose to ignore.

6. Guess they can't find anybody as nasty

as Eric Cantor. His voters are looking for someone worse.

Didn't see the interview, but you know how it is here in DU"

Cant' think straight after 3 or 4 posters pile up on you? Picture if it were on TV...and what if in DU the meanest one was Skinner?


The Dem was definitely nervous. Most people around him are usually supporters...
