Eric Cantor Loses To A Bagger

The GOP Civil War is still on, Baby!

In a shocking upset, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost the Republican primary in Virginia to tea party challenger and virtual unknown Dave Brat on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

Cantor, the second highest-ranking member of the House was defeated by Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, in the 7th District GOP primary by a commanding 55% to 44% margin with 100% of the precincts reporting their results. ***

One immediate effect of Cantor's loss is that the Republican Party will remain radicalized. The GOP wouldn't dare try to push immigration reform any time soon given Cantor's crushing defeat -- immigration was reportedly a key issue in this particular primary.

And speaking of Baggers:

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has formally renounced his Canadian dual citizenship, documents show. According to his aides, Cruz "is pleased that the process is finalized." The senator received the document Tuesday. It showed the renunciation became official on May 14. Cruz, who was born in Alberta on Dec. 22, 1970, learned about his dual status last year and promised he would give up his Canadian citizenship.

Hilarious.
