That smug smarmy vile republican't Cantor -- I hope he fades into the dimly remembered dark days of conservative lore.

I wouldn't be surprised a few Democrats crossed over and helped out Mr. Brat -- actually 'helped out' Cantor.

as they attempt to avoid the same fate. Perhaps next time around they really will be crazy enough to make the US default on the national debt.

I am not celebrating.
