Kinda like watching a snake swallow itself.
And the civil war continues
Gotta love the GOP…
Pleased to see @realDonaldTrump embrace @JebBush’s immigration plan.
That’s a “burn?”
Kind of remember Cantor supporting immigration reform.
When Cantor lost his 2014 primary to political novice Dave Brat in a stunning upset,
Cantor has more skin in this game than he’s letting on—guess who was the major financial backer of Brat during his campaign that unseated Cantor?
None other than TeaParty lunatic Robert Mercer, the hedge fund whateveraire who’s the major financial player backstopping Breitbart and Bannon, and of course now Trump. And Mercer hates “establishment” Republicans almost as much as he hates Clinton.
Did he see his shadow? Will there be six more weeks of Summer?
I wonder if this brouhaha can serve to kill the Jeff Sessions wing of the party on immigration. That there is no future in mass expulsions or self-deportation.
I wonder if, finally, Republicans will come to the table in good faith to fix immigration…knowing if they don’t, it’ll continue to haunt them in elections.
I dunno, but alt-righters may be feeling the burn.
You can stop.
The Republicans will wander in the wilderness as long as they refuse to deal with immigration in a rational manner. For too long they have used it as a pander issue. Their money wing doesn’t want anything done to stop the flow of cheap immigrant labor but their “base” is tired of losing jobs to undocumented immigrants. The tension in the Republican party is never addressed. Somebody needs to tell the money people they are going to have to give up cheap labor and the base that nobody is going to expel 11,000,000 people. In short the party deals with the issue rationally or it blows apart.
Modern Republicans are not exactly profiles in courage.
Too many dark-skinned people, you know? Too scary.
Eric Cantor: Forgotten but not gone.
That’s a tad optimistic… been there and done that after the 2012 election, and lesson clearly not learned.
Like a bad horror movie, everyone thought Cantor was dead. But no! Just before Trump is about to leap to his doom, Cantor springs back to life to push Trump to his doom.
I said it was a bad horror movie.
It’s sarcasm. Sarcasm leaves burns you don’t even feel until your skin starts flaking off in large pieces. Sarcasm leaves the best burns. Burns you wouldn’t believe.
Rachel Maddow had a pretty detailed analysis of it the other night. I am addicted to that show as she always uncovers something or tells me something I didn’t know.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUGE burns?
