So I finally watched 'the Brat' and good effin' grief

[malaise]

he's to the right of Attila the Hun. Where do they find these people?

Brat kicked Cantor out of the House.

1. Dug him up somewhere in Virginia!

'Funny' thing, he taught/teaches college economics at same college where his opponent Jack Trammell taught.

'is an American economist and member of the U.S. House of Representatives serving Virginia's 7th congressional district. Prior to his election to Congress, Brat was a professor at Randolph–Macon College. A Republican, he serves on these House Committees: Budget, Education and Workforce, and Small Business.

Brat defeated Democratic nominee Jack Trammell and Libertarian nominee James Carr on November 4, 2014.

Brat earlier defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the district's 2014 Republican primary on June 10, 2014.[1] Brat's primary victory over Cantor made him the first primary challenger to oust a sitting House Majority Leader since the position's creation in 1899, and is considered one of the biggest upsets in congressional history.'

2. I remember the upset and the fact that he and Trammell were faculty

I just had no clue that he was such an RW goon. I hate these slash and burn baggers

3. Better question is why do people vote for them...

4. A different Q:

Given the potential for election fraud via machines...do we know for sure the voters did vote, by majority for them?
We have heard a Lot about "vote switching"....how many do we not hear about and how many voters don't notice and know what happened.

5. THAT is the question

and it's not just vote switching - it's redrawing districts to suit ReTHUGs

[fredamae]

6. Yup-Gerrymandering.......

toss in people who Would vote if they Could (voter ID bs) couple that with those too pissed to vote....
We have a lot to overcome.
