eric cantor spent the morning of his primary 2014 at starbucks. ressman cantor was very confident he would sail to victory against his anti-establishment republican challenger that day that he didn't even spend the morning campaigning. he instead held a fund-raising meeting at a capitol hill starbucks. by that night, however, eric cantor was out of a job. he was not just defeated in his primary, he got laminated. he lost by double digits. and to be honest, i don't think his challenger really saw the upset coming either. congressman-elect dave brat ended up holding his victory rally that night in what the "washington post" described at the time as "the atrium of a nondescript building at an office park." i have never run for office but i promise you the atrium of a nondescript building at an office park, that is not the venue you book when you think you're about to pull off one of the biggest and highest-profile congressional upsets in american history. it's been nearly two years since dave brat ousted congressman eric cantor. but now once again we

talk radio was a huge factor in eric cantor's defeat. at the republican party especially john boehner learned the hard way, the potential veto power that activated base provide, makes governing more difficult. to conclude, the four condemning the current system universally. i think we might want to go back to that atsa report of 1950 and consider why those political scientists, why they were eager to create parties that put forward clear ideological positions that mapped on effective programmatic agendas. they in the 1950's a decline in the number of americans voting over the course of the 20th century. that was very much on their mind. they understood that competition and clear choices had made for a far more participatory electorate in the 19th century with much higher rate of voting. over 100% in chicago some times. they also understood that politics was more than division of material spoils. politics was also about the clash of ideas. they urge politicians to articulate those ideas more vigorously. we all yearn for a day when both pa

the voters had this anger, and it was this groundswell of anger that rose up and dethrowned eric cantor an outsider here. that's what we're seeing, what transpired that day, coming to right now. >> paul? >> the total cultural shift in the two parties. republicans used to be orderly and hire arcical. the republicans showed up on time, left with their own spouse. completely predictable people. now it's chaos. and i couldn't be happier. >> let's go back to will. >> anderson, we're two minutes away for the first results we're getting. the polls will be closing in georgia, vermont and virginia. >> let's start down in georgia. i'll go back to the 2008 race on the republican side. we'll start with the republicans. you see the gold here. this is mike huckabee in 2008. can ted cruz win in the rural evangelical areas with tea party voters. the atlanta suburbs up here. mitt romney did well there in 2008. john mccain won where you have military installations and mainstream republicans. fairly tough split in 2008. will we get that tonight? watch rubio and trump fight for these mainstream republicans

eric cantor lost his primary for renomination they think immigration with the base to the two soft. so revealing that context it doesn't just come out of nowhere a course there are the unusual figure but he is inheriting a lot of support as a result of actions taken of republican leaders over many decades by know a lot of leaders want to move in the other direction but they are constrained like those exit polls. usually the insurgent candidate doesn't do so well with those identifiers. that is the stories of bernie sanders bin barack obama or senator mccain if you look at trump he does about as low as a republican identifier. he has attracted and mobilized a vote that is already there and that is a challenge. the last thing is in the short term republicans can still win. the win the vote was growing with the voting rights act. the party of abraham lincoln went another way. hoping to get those votes in their work to short-term. there is more than one way to get the 50%. and compared to those republicans it is possible if you cannot just say one segment has grown there are different w

and then one more example that people don't talk anymore and i think is important, eric cantor, eric cantor lost his primary, the house majority leader lost his primary for renomination in a shocking development. people who looked closely at that race and says immigration and cantor was seen by the base of the republican party to be too soft on the immigration issue. so with that -- reviewing that context, i think you can see trump doesn't come out of nowhere even though he's an unusual figure. he's inheriting a lot of support in the republican party that is the result of actions taken by republican leaders over many -- over many decades. and i know a lot of republican leaders sincerely want to move in another direction on this issue but they are now constrained by the base they have. and the last thing i'll say, if we look at the exit polls from the primaries and caucuses we had is interesting. usually an insurgent -- that's the story about bernie sanders. hillary chinton -- and that was the story of barack obama. and bush won the republicans. if we look at trump, he's doing about as

the panel, could you see this coming with the rise of the tea party, with the primary defeat of eric cantor in virginia, the former house majority leader to a relative unknown. this has been brewing for a very long time. this is really a revolution. this is a real rebellion against the republican establishment. it doesn't matter how many members of the establishment say no, no, no, you are don't want this guy, we don't want him. the voters are saying, yes, we do. and their super tuesday is now trumper tuesday. let's go to sarah murray at trump headquarters in palm beach, florida. sarah, they've got to be celebrating, 6 out of so far and it could be even more. >> reporter: jake, i think they're celebrating you just came up with trumper tuesday. donald trump when he did his new conference was elated but he said wouldn't it be nice to get a clean sweep to finish this off? now that they have arkansas, they do have a number of states in their corner. like dana was pointing out, we're talking about very different states in different corners of the country here. what donald trump is talking about

the republican party's sitting house majority leader eric cantor was soundly defeated in a primary, no less, by a relatively unknown tea party professor named david brat. and just a year later, john boehner called it quits after years of fighting with members of his own parties over government shutdowns, debt crisis, immigration reform, you name it. we'll tell you what's happening with boehner tease former seat in just a few minutes. point is, folks, there's only so much bending and stress a party can take before something snaps. the republican establishment basically is dead. either they start a new party or they simply start over after this election. there may be an appetite for a clean break. look at this. just 31% of republicans who voted for someone other than trump last night said they'd be satisfied with trump as the nominee against clinton. 61% of those non-trump voters would consider voting for a third party candidate. let me repeat. 61% of non-trump voters. that's more than 50%. in every state, in a primary, was a non-trump voter. then there's house speaker paul ryan. he turn

play out firsthand in my own rural virginia district, a district that used to be represented by eric cantor. but he proved simply too liberal for my district. too much of ofa compromiser. too much concerned about governing rather than being primaried which was thought to be impossible. finally, it's the media, stupid. we could spend the whole -- we could spend the day on this. very quickly, first off by the media, i include the way parties get information about voters, not just the way they disseminate information to voters. too often we forget about technology like public opinion polling, for instance, and big data crunching. that's included under media as well as i see it. the first shot of the media revolution was fired by richard vigory with his direct mail techniques. the standard in those days, the '50s and early '60s was to aim for the middle. with public opinion polling in its infancy when it came to identifying the preferences of voters, and your basic three broadcast networks, the only way to reach those people, there were very few ways to target minority or outlying perspectives.

charlie hirt, "washington times," douglas hyde worked for former congressman eric eric cantor and communicationsr at rnc. what do you see here, charlie, you can start, you see a case where cruz dominates the first two weeks of april and trump dominates the headlines the last two weeks of april. go. >> yeah, absolutely. i think that troubling thing for donald trump with wisconsin poll anyway, it, reflects probably about 20-point swing from say about a month ago in wisconsin. but, as you know, the polls have been notoriously wrong in this election and so sort of hard to say. we'll have to see what happens on tuesday. but as you say by the end of the month, new york is much bigger trove of delegates than wisconsin. so that is going in donald trump's favor. donald trump is winning by much larger margin in new york. so that is working very much to his advantage. then as you point out, you go into the other north iron primaries after that, those are all very favorable to donald trump. so, while, you know, he is looking like he is headed into some headwind for wisconsin, he is in pretty good shape for

they knocked eric cantor because he wasn't strongly enough anti-obama.differentiate between the congress where gerrymandering has helped the republicans get control and keep control but those very forces i think are preventing it from getting back the white house and i think it's almost certain that we'll have a democratic president in the next four years. talk about the democratic party and describe them as centrist democrat. can't you also say what is going on in the republican party has kind of been going on in the democratic party as well, where you have basically the progressive wing of the democrats -- somebody like bernie sandsers is probably unimaginable 10 or 15 years ago under bill clinton. isn't the same thing happening in both parties? >> well, certainly there are forces pulling both parties towards their respected bases but it's important to understand that i don't think bernie can possibly win the nomination the people who support him will not walk away from the democratic party. they will vote for hillary, but i'm not so sure about trump's

eric cantor lost his primary.the house majority leader lost his primary for renomination in a shocking development. and people who look closely at that race think immigration, what's part of that? cantor was seen by the base of the republican party to be too soft on the immigration issue. of course, a very unusual figure. he is inheriting a lot of support that is a result of leaders over many decades. a lot of republican leaders sincerely want to move in another direction but are now constrained by the base we have. exit polls from the primaries and caucuses we've had so far, it's really interesting. an insurgent candidate doesn't do so well with party identifiers but better with independents. that's the story with bernie sanders this time. hillary clinton dominates among democratic identifiers, the story of barack obama, senator mccain against george w. bush, he won the independents. bush won the republicans. if we look at trump, he's doing about as well among a republican identifiers and independents in these co

i wrote yesterday about divisions i saw firsthand working for eric cantor in the house of representativesafter two years after republican conference meeting for another meeting i became convinced will be needed to have as a party was to have mom and dad essentially fight in front of the kids and i was going to be ugly. nobody wanted it to happen but it was going to have to happen. basically ted cruz versus the jeb bush marker rubio playing at a party and all the suddenly saw the crazy uncle show up at the dinner party and start insulting everybody in the room. we thought would've happened to this dinner and his party? ultimately, if donald trump is not our nominee, with the highest negatives, the most unfavorables of any candidate in modern presidential history. we have so much more that unites our party. with so much more in common with each other and so much more different than what the democrats have. we can agree so easily again hillary clinton and bernie sanders. it sent to the voters to decide. stuart: when i cannot see if donald trump is not the nominee, i can't see his supporters,
