It was Cantors support for amnesty for illegals that was his downfall.

..then explain this

72% of voters in Cantor's district support the bipartisan immigration reform legislation on the table in Washington right now to only 23% who are opposed. And this is an issue voters want to see action on. 84% think it's important for the US to fix its immigration system this year, including 57% who say it's 'very' important. Even among Republicans 58% say it's 'very' important, suggesting that some of the backlash against Cantor could be for a lack of action on the issue.


The wing nuts would like to have folks believe that was the reason

It appears as though it is just the opposite

Cantor was dumped because he was recognized in his district as being nothing but an obstructionist

If the Democrats read this right, they will have no trouble flipping that seat

..like most Americans, people in Cantors "old" district want action on immigration reform
