@kausmickey Serious q: name any Republican senator or congressman who was primaried on immigration pre-Cantor. Heck, McCain became nominee!
@kausmickey @AlecMacGillis My favorite part was the end, when the ‘amnesty now, enforcement never’ deal collapses.
@AlecMacGillis @kausmickey Senator Bennett’s immigration record was a major subject when he lost in 2010.
@AlecMacGillis @kausmickey Chris Cannon lost his seat to Rep. Jason Chaffetz in 2008; Cannon’s support for Bush amnesty plan was top issue.
@SpeakingBee @kausmickey Yes, those are the two one often sees mentioned. Two (partial, possible) victims out of hundreds doesn’t seem much.
@AlecMacGillis @kausmickey Out of how many? Only about two Republican congressmen lose renomination each cycle.
@AlecMacGillis @kausmickey Also, someone wrote: “Serious q: name any…” then annoyed when only two examples immediately offered for free.
