Although I said I supported @DaveBratVA7th on Twitter, I didn't formally endorse him because I didn't think he could pull it off. #amazing

Eric Cantor's awesomely accurate internal poll had him up 34 points over Dave Brat http://t.co/w07qUmd4PR

Remember when Eric Cantor went to the liberal Main Street Advocacy's "screw the Tea Party" event? In retrospect, not so smart @MainStreetGOP

I mean, no one actually likes Eric Cantor, but I didn’t think they’d actually vote against him.

Hey @EricCantor, you got what you deserved tonight. Thanks for nothing. Go get a job lobbying for amnesty, you bum.

Republican consultants are really pissed they’ve invested all this time in ass kissing staffers who suddenly aren’t powerful.

As far as I can tell, Laura Ingraham is the only national figure (And or group) who deserves any credit for helping Dave Brat win.
