was during that round of eric cantor rebranding that the republican party -- eric cantor rebranding that he suggested maybe perhaps in some form, his party could accept something like the dream act for young immigrants. eric cantor said that could happen. and because he's the majority leader in the house, he could make that happen. but as always, this was rebranding, which is about brand and image and not actually about behavior. and so he never actually allowed a vote on the dream act or anything like it. he just stuck it in the rebrand and hoped people thought that he might have done something about it. then just a couple of months ago, because it was a new year, and that means a new republican image, courtesy of eric cantor, this past year, his new rebranding effort was labeled, an america that works, which did not work either at changing broad perceptions of the republican party, or changing at all the substantiative party actions of the party. nor did it serve to rebrand eric cantor himself as a man that might be desperate needed in washington.
