10. Bullshit, they voted for him because he's not Cantor.

Cantor not only spent his career stiffing women and children, he also stiffed his home district after the earthquake there caused considerable damage.

The populist, anti banker, anti Wall Street message did resonate with some voters. Most of them threw Cantor out because he'd been stingy with his home district.

Hatred of people, Jews included, is very selective in the south. If what you are saying was the least bit true, he'd never have gotten a single term in the House.
