The first time I heard about heir-apparent, Cantor's loss in Virginia was through a co-worker. His words were: "Cantor lost to a Tea Partier."
As it turns out, Cantor's challenger, Dave Brat, had very little Tea Party support.
So what happened?
Ann Coulter rolled-in with this damning commentary: Cantor loses by 11 million voters.
There are of course, other tea leaf readings over Cantor's Calamity, such as salt-of-the-earth capitalism, religion and ethics in business, and even that his loss was based solely on immigration amnesty draws the wrong lesson.
Maybe.
But being pro-amnesty was a central theme and had a debatable part in Cantor's political burial.
No matter how anyone, from the political left, or right: Amnesty lite is still amnesty.
Most Americans want the border secured.
