but here's the thing, randolph-macon might want to think of renaming itself randolph-macon congressman, because whatever happens in this election -- that joke is so bad. whatever happens in this election, it's a pretty good bet, the next congressman from virginia's seventh district will be a faculty member of the school. and that is because brat's democratic challenger is another randolph-macon faculty member. randolph-macon congressman. associate professor jack trammel. according to the school's website, trammel came to the school in 2000. he serves as director of the honors program and teaches courses in disability studies in the sociology department. his latest book is on the richmond slave trade. now, you've got these two faculty members squaring off, polling in this race will be hard to come by, and we all know how unreliable it was the first time around. so the "all in" elections team came up with its own formula. it's called ratemyprofessors.com. luckily, both men are recommended on the size. one student raves about trammel, he's the best professor ever. on ratemyprofessor.com,

. >>> all right, coming up, randolph-macon college. >> randolph-macon is a truly outstanding residentialeral arts college in ashland, virginia. >> you've probably never heard of it, but it's suddenly become the single most interesting small liberal arts college in america and i will tell you why, next. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar. at night and when it's cloudy, we use more natural gas. this ensures we can produce clean electricity whenever our customers need it. ♪ but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as une

another professor at randolph macon. don't know about the college but other professors seem to be looking for other jobs. my only problem with the professor is he won without economics. >> he spent 50 times more than brat and while brat spent barrel $100,000. >> we're watching steak houses alone than his opponent dave brat spent on his opponent's campaign. >> he got dethroned while eating a rib-eye. he got electorally whipped while eating new york strip he was way late eating fillet. hit in the groin with a te tenderloin. poor house, porterhouse. london broil. steak au poivre. dry rub. no, no, no. now here's may beef with cantor -- no! nation, here's the deal. as a former super pac, super player who raised cash for let's say political stuff, i'm personally offended the man with less money won. if violates the golden rule of politics. he who has the gold -- that's the end of the rule but the evangelical dave brat got one important endorsement. >> the reason we won the campaign and there's one reason because dollars do not

hanover county where randolph macon college is one of only six. we have 135 jurisdictions in virginia. there were six that mark warner has never won. and hanover is one of them. but the fact that he lost in richmond city, the precincts that he has which are the western part of the city, beautiful neighborhoods, western and chesterfield county is pretty amazing. i know there will be a lot of people sipping their starbucks storm morning feeling guilty about not participating in this, because they never thought there was a threat. >> what do you mean? explain what you mean by that? >> well, i think that his support, if the election consider were held tomorrow after this defeat, i think more people would take this seriously. nobody thought he was going to lose on the establishment republican side. and stay at home. and elections are won by people that have energy and want to come out to vote. and the anti-instinct in human nature is always stronger. >> that's right. >> and he -- that's what he faced today. my aide down in richmond said that over this

more than 90 miles away there's this small college randolph macon in the national spotlight after onehis he will have to beat the democrat who also is a professor at the school. >> i have dedicated my entire life teaching free market economics and ethics to college students. >> reporter: he's the economics professor who took the establishment to school. >> the power belongs to the people and that's what we're going to do. >> reporter: this is shocking victory over seen why are house republican eric cantor. david brat may have caught washington off guard, but the students who know him, there's no mistaking what he stands for. >> he is the biggest lover of free market economies that i've ever known. >> reporter: having slugged it out with the political goliath, now brat will face off against a colleague, a fellow professor at randolph macon. >> the higgins academic center wouldn't be what it is. >> reporter: jack trammell teaches sociology and works with students with disabts. >> he is very good about working with the college to work and fight for the needs of people on campus. >> repor

so randolph macon college is where the home of this virginia campaign will be in september. what does eric cantor's defeat mean for leadership of the gop? we bring in bill crystal. we're all very rarely shocked by actual losses. as you and i were discussing, none of us would have been surprised if cantor won only by single digits but losing, shocking. >> i spoke to a lot of people last night and they were excited and energized, especially if they were on the populous side. and especially people like me who like and respect eric cantor. >> i'm stunned at the people who are glad he's gone, even supposely people who liked and feared him. is he not well liked? >> i think he was liked. i think there was a sense he wasn't doing much, was playing is safe and people who want a more aggressive, more populous agenda. he was an example or exemplar, whatever the word is -- it was an economic attack. >> by an economics professor. >> by an economics professor, who knows how to make those arguments. i talked to eric cantor, i was on "morning joe "and apparently eric cantor watches morning

caller: he is an economics professor at randolph macon college.here is a great story on our website right now -- told things to know about david brat. he has a degree in theology. he enjoys sports. he is a competitor. known in super well republican circles. he obviously had a serious campaign. host: let's look at the number money here. total raised and spent. raised $5.4 million. he spent $5 million. , 206 thousand dollars is what he raised. $122,000. host: hard to raise money against the majority leader. how did he spend this money effectively? there are things money can't buy. in this case, the issue of immigration. you can't buy that. a laura ingram appearance in this case. number is a little deceiving. could include transfers to other candidates. i highly doubt that $5 million was spent on himself. that is being reported -- he spent $5 million. is it possible that he could have spent this money on other races? caller: yes. exactly. i would have to look at the numbers. i highly doubt that he spent $5 million on this race. it would be a huge red

as you say an economics professor at randolph macon college. mr.t had been aggressively campaigning against cantor and the republican leadership arguing as tea partiers have since 2010 that there has been not enough backbone in the g.o.p. conservative leadership. too willing to cave in the u.s. senate. too willing -- the democratically controlled senate. too willing to not fight hard enough to repeal obamacare. and now, after all this time, when many thought that the paper was looking for a somewhat weak showing this year compared to past campaigns. they have scored their biggest trophy yet. the house majority leader, eric cantor with about 71% of the precincts counted, the associated press called this race for mr. brat, because it was just not possible for cantor to catch up. his district around richmond and the suburban area there, very conservative. and as i said, for the longest time people thought that cantor would easily coast to victory. something snuck up on him in this one. and now he is defeated. of course the question becomes whether or

there's a small challenge randolph macon that's in the spotlight after one of their professors got thelso a proffers at the school. >> i have dedicated my entire life teaching free market economics to college students. >> he took the political establishment to school. >> the power belongs to the people than's what we're going to do. >> with his shocking vimtry over see yore house republican eric cantor. he may have caught washington off guard but to students who know him, there ee no mistaking what he stands for. >> he's the biggest stander of them. >> he's face all a fellow colleague at randolph macon. jack trammell, the democratic candidate teaches sociology. >> he's very good about working with the college to work and fight for the needs of the people on campus. >> odds are that's as far as trammell will fight because this is a dress strict that wins republican. even at randolph may con, a campus with only 1,300 students, most had no idea trammell was running, including the school's president. >> all of a sudden in a two- or three-day span, here we are. >> and for these ideal lis ti

that's because dollars do not vote, you do. >> ifill: brat will face democrat and fellow randolph- maconlege professor jack trammell in november's election. the party committee had only selected him monday. although cantor's defeat was a huge capitol hill surprise, there have been others. former house speaker thomas foley and former senate majority leader tom daschle, both democrats, each went down to shocking defeat, but in general, not primary, races. house minority leader nancy pelosi said the results should send a strong message to the g.o.p. >> his opponent said he was too close to wall street instead of main street that what we've been saying all along. >> ifill: another republican incumbent considered to be far more endangered, south carolina's lindsey graham, cruised easily to victory in a crowded field last night, defeating six challengers. he won with 57% of the vote. but in the wake of cantor's precipitous fall, the republican majority in the house tonight, is in an uproar. >> ifill: we get the latest now on the flurry of activity on capitol hill today from ed o'keefe. he cove

. >> david brat is an economics professor at randolph macon college and said this morning he's a freearket guy, opposes an increase in the minimum wage. he opposes immigration amnesty, as charlie cook indicated one of his big issues but we'll have to see how his track record develops over time. somebody who doesn't cotton to the idea of big business colluding with one another, a pure free market guy, doesn't think wall street is always right in that regard but the reason we don't know that much about him is he hasn't held public office before. ran for the house of delegates in the state of virginia three years ago and lost that race and tonight he is the conquerer of the house majority leader, guys. >> and he's going to face a colleague, randolph macon, which is interesting in and of itself. >> though he's quite likely to roll over that colleague because this is a very republican district. >> we want to talk more about this. >> we'll bring in sarah fagan, a partner at ddc advocacy. first, i would like to play this sound bite. i spoke with julian robinson who runs tiger global manageme

here's the thing though, his democratic opponent in november is also a professor at randolph macon collegeinia. the democrat's name is jack trammel. nominated for the spot on the november ballot by virginia democrats. mr. brat is an economics professor. the author of a 2012 book on slavery in the old confederacy. and he is not a politician. but, very unexpectedly, virginians in the seventh district are going to have a choice between the sociology professor and economics professor, both from the same school, both who they are likely to never have heard of ever. ever before tonight. joining us is a reporter for the "virginian pilot" newspaper. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> i have to ask you about the seventh district. the lay of the land there, obviously jack trammel, the democrat in the race thought he would be running against eric cantor essentially as a sacrificial lamb. should be expect this might be a more interesting general election race than it would have been before the upset in the primary? >> it is the rumble at randy mac, this is still the 7th district. still a heavi

yesterday the district's democrat committee nominated jack trammel, a professor at randolph macon college. joining me my guests. welcome to you all. karen what do you think of the new people who know and expected, to be big players in the district. >> i think it is going to make for quite a fun race. particularly at the campus where you have student taking up on both sides. i am also i have to tell you, googling honestly to find out if the democrats had put anybody up. i found a story, yeah, let's nominate somebody in case, eric cantor doesn't win. i'm glad the democrats have somebody in the race. >> yeah, crystal, you having been a candidate. you were talking to people on the ground about that pick. >> he, jack trammel decided a week ago that he felt the urge. he wanted to give it a go. of what the heck. throw my name is the ring. they nominated him over a conference call. on sunday night. i'm told. really just got in there. now suddenly name is all over national headlines.
