"One conservative recently told me that Cantors staff were the biggest bunch of a**holes on the Hill. An establishment consultant who backed Cantor actually agreed with this assessment. That attitude moved with Cantor staffers to K Street, the NRSC, and elsewhere generating ill will toward them and Cantor. Many of them were perceived to still be assisting Cantor in other capacities.

"Yet Cantor hate appears to be more than a mere intra-Republican phenomenon. It stretches far and wide. The Obama administration regarded him with a special loathing.

Jewish Democrats found him a supremely annoying figure.
Everyone hates Cantor
Be nice if Cantor did some soul searching when out of D.C.
