Huh...Cantor looked pretty happy walking down that hall.

[Laurian]

I wonder if he has visions of being Speaker?

Lord, that would be worse than having Boehner as Speaker!

[hlthe2b]

1. Really? I thought he was gritting his teeth...

He clearly did not want to answer the questions, but had the plastic smile on, nonetheless.

Though I certainly do think he's working hard to wage his own coup against Boehner.

5. Me, too! His smile was fake and he walked fast...

"get me the hell outta here," to get away from the reporter and camera

[Laurian]

9. Perhaps. I just caught the end of it. He's such a

smarmy little shit, I never know how to read him. He always seems devious to me.

[elleng]

2. Right right right.

3. he turned the kinfe in Boner's back, he should be smiling n/m

4. Cantor clearly enjoys

playing the role of Brutus. . .

6. Also caught that

Looked pretty satisfied. All he cares about is being Speaker and being even worse than Boner. Wanted to slap him and tell him to grow up and REPRESENT America and not his own ambitions.

8. THAT will never happen from that crooked, self-serving, lying weasel.

[freshwest]

7. OMG, it would be a thousand times worse!

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. if so, he's a masochist: he looks like an absolute fool today

[davidpdx]

11. It wouldn't surprise me in the least

I'd call Boehner and tell him to watch out for that knife in his back, except I don't give a shit. lol

[BlueDemKev]

12. Yeah, because he's eyeing the Speaker's chair

Cantor is a snake in the grass and Boehner should know better than to trust that little shit.

[budkin]

13. No, he was pissed and trying to hide it.

[FSogol]

14. Cantor will be a weaker Speaker than Boehner.

Reason? Cantor is a toady, not a leader. He's the snivelling coward who stands behind an alpha-bully and says, "Me too."
Ever seen him when he's questioned on something? He doesn't know what to say.

[blueclown]

15. I think Boehner has some good in his heart.

But Cantor is pure evil.

I think we can work with Boehner somewhat.... he may be grandstanding, but he's a political being, and he simply wants to keep his post.

It will be immediately worse with a teabagger like Cantor at the helm.

[apnu]

16. You kidding me? Cantor as speaker would be a gift to the Dems.

He's even more of a clueless tool than Boehner. Remember, Cantor was the one sabotaging and acting like a fool during the original "Grand Bargain" talks with PBO. Cantor was so bad, PBO sent him a way like a kid throwing a temper tantrum.

If Cantor was the Speaker, he'd accelerate the ruin of the GOP's brand. In one election cycle, we'd have the House back. Cantor would produce more gridlock than we have now, and Americans have already stated, loudly, they are sick of the gridlock and blame the R's for it.

This means huge Dem gains in one, probably two, election cycles.

17. I agree with this post...weirdly Can'tor as Speaker would be good for the Dems...

...and a friggin' disaster for the repukes..
