Eric Cantor lost his primary in a surprise upset to his Tea- Bagger challenger. This came as a surprise to Cantor- and his pollster, who had predicted Cantor in the lead by over 30 points.
The biggest surprise, however, is that Cantor's pollster is the same idiot who projected that Mitt Romney would win key battleground states and the presidency in 2012. He was wrong then, too.
Self delusion is nothing new, people. Shakespeare wrote of the rebels in Henry IV Part II that they embraced "smooth comforts false, worse than true wrongs." Wishful thinking and informational cherry-picking, in other words. So- nothing new.
Here is the difference. If someone lied to me, or was an unreliable source, I would never go back. Conservatives are so well trained, that when they are fed shit, they say "Thank you, sir, may I have another."
That is the only explanation for their rejection of facts and evidence in every realm of knowledge and experience.
Republicans were once a real political party.
