Cantor lost because he was an arrogant piece of shit. He didn’t even campaign or talk to any of his constituents; he was above them. I’ve heard and seen lots of Graham ads talking about how he fights for Donald Trump, etc, and I’m not even in SC. That's how he fends off primaries.
It’s not just SC. It’s everywhere. The longer a politician is in office the more likely they are to be corrupted by DC. Coincidentally, they also get better at lying to their constituents come election time and have larger war chests to fend off primary challengers, who are almost always the underdog.
Look at any of the PACs controlled by Mitch McConell (“the senate leadership fund paid for the content of this ad” etc) and you will find corrupted swamp monsters at the receiving end of those ads.
We need new blood in DC, but unless patriots are willing to get off their asses and vote against incumbents in the primaries, it will only continue to get worse.
I was never disagreeing with you, other than the fact that I don’t consider someone having a half ass primary opponent (who doesn’t defeat them) being “primaried;” in fact I said at the very beginning it was just semantics, but I’m not going to argue with you champ

And isn't your last sentence essentially what I've been posting? (Answer: Yes.)
