>> shock wave on capitol hill after a big primary upset renews questions about the split in the g.o.p. >> the differences we may have are slight and pale compared to the left. >> the republican party is going further to the right. >> we will discuss the divide between the establishment and the tea party with two leading house republicans. greg walden of oregon and tom price of georgia. >> our power player of the week celebrated actor robert deniro honors the legacy of his father. >> he was a genuine artist and to me a great artist. >> all right now. on fox news sunday. >> hello again and happy father's day from fox news in washington. a small army of islamist militants is sweeping across iraq creating a serious new threat and derailing president obama's foreign policy. the group called itself the islamic state of iraq and syria or isis has seized control from a broad area including the second largest city of mosul. in this country it would reach from illinois to virginia. as the forces who are sunni, advance on baghdad, the top sight cleric is calling on holy war to be waged against them. >> now over to connor in the middle east. >> iraq is divided along ethnic and religious lines. the sunni insurgent push continues today as a precaution that the pentagon is sending the aircraft carrier uss george bush to the golf and is weighing options. hundreds of volunteers are answering the call of the top shiite cleric to fight against the insurgents. right now the militants are only 60 miles outside of baghdad controlling the major cities. their goal is to create a unified islamic state cross iraq and syria. iran is poised to jump in to the conflict and the iran president said his country is ready to help. the iraq prime minister is shiite and maintains strong ties with neighboring iran and the insurgents are sunni muslims. recently, maliki has come dated power and and alienating the sunni population who in turn have been welcoming with open arms the insurgents. adding to all of the complication the pro american kurds are taking advantage of the day office and captureed a oil territory they have wanted. they are going to be battling the insurgents that are fighting. the say -- assad-backed regime in syria. any decision in the united states could come way too long. >> conor powell, thank you for that. >> where does this leave the united states? >> chairman rogers from the house of representatives foreign affairs committee is here. the president will look at options for self day before he decided and it will be depending on prime minister maliki reaching out. watch this. >> the united states is not simply going to involve itself in a military action in the absence of a political plan that gives us assurance that they are prepared to work together. >> with isis moving so fast, do we have several days for him to review options? he said basically it was contingent on millionlicy reaching out. if he does not reach out to the kurds and the sunnis and sticks with the shi'a base, what does the united states do? >> leadership is important. absence of leadership and decisiveness is important. it is too late to have long political reconciliation meetings that will last weeks or months to try to get through the fine of the points of difference. you have an al-qaeda army on the move. this isn't just sunni versus shi'a but an al-qaeda-minded group using all of the tactics of brutality to subdue these areas. this is as dangerous as it gets. why? we have thousands of westerners and members in both the eastern syria and iraq who have western passports. this --. >> you mean members of isis? >> they are showing up to fight extremists. >> they are fighting in syria or issis and they will go with the winners. this is what is so dangerous. even issis said and this was in a dispute with the al-qaeda leadership "we want external operations." we have the westerners, and they have come to jihadist disneyland in eastern syria and we can send back to european and the united states after further training that is significant because we had our first american used if a suicide bombing in syria. >> breaking this down because it is complicated. what are you saying the united states should do? >> two things. we need to re-engage our arab league partners. they have been forgotten in what is a lack of decision. by the way without the decisions you enable the ecosystem of terrorism to live. >> military sense we have the aircraft carrier international space station -- aircraft carrier bush ready. >> they can bring comand and control and intelligence packages and more accurate targeting which is missing somewhat in the equation. now you have al-qaeda army that we believe now has two helicopters which means they can move al-qaeda army folks around the battlefields. we have never seen this before. we have to engage with the arab league pans. i we do two-front strategy to do disruption activities in syria with elements in eastern syria. >> president obama says that the danger is if we get involved and we go back in iraq and clearly he doesn't want to do so and you have the sectarian split if there is no political reconciliation all we are doing is taking on one side of aive war. >> this is al-qaeda. this notion of sunni versus shi'a is wrong. unlawful all sunnis have joined al-qaeda. we have an al-qaeda problem in a scale we have never seen. remember when we did not do anything after 1993 the world trade center and it led to the 1998 eastern african embassy bombing, the united states embassy in africa what killed hundreds and the "uss cole" and hundreds were killed and then 3,000 members killed on 9/11 with a group that has al-qaeda ties that has the capability to tap people with western pass possibilities and send them to the europe and the united states for terrorist activity. that is a problem. >> talk about the arab league and if the united states could be on the side lines. should the united states be directly involved? should we send cruise missiles to from the persian? >> can you not fire and turn around and come home, it has to be coordinated with the arab league. they can be helped and it does not mean troops on the ground. if air strikes turn around the ability for al-qaeda army to march and gain a safe haven this is all about gaining safe haven which puts them on the path to their caliphate. we cannot wait days and weeks and scratch our head in a political reconciliation process. we need to ask: is al-qaeda holding land the size of indiana, a problem for the united states? early i was in afghanistan and they had time to plan the 9/11 event and i guarantee this is a problem we will have to face, we will either face it in new york city or here. it doesn't mean troops or the same for it but you have to have a coordinated effort but it has to be disruptive meaning can you not fire and release you have to fire and continue the pressure so you can empower other arab militaries to be successful. >> when the president talks as he did and you her the clip, and he talk about it a lot on friday all of this being contingent on political reconciliation inside iraq, is that a continue or is that an excuse not to act? >> certainly it appears to be an excuse. there is no way you can get reconciliation. the reason thatback wrack is doing -- the reason that maliki is doing what he is doing, he wanted to consolidate his power with the shi'a and that was a mistake. we can debate that for years to come. we helped condition his behavior. right now, the let is to the united states and to our european allies in a rising al-qaeda army. these are not monkey bar terrorists in the desert planning a low-level attack the here's sophisticated command-and-control, seasoned combat veterans who understand the value of terrorism operations external to the region meaning europe and the united states. that is about a dangerous a recipe as you can put together. for us to say, well, maybe someone else needs to deal with that, we will deal with it, it is a matter of what it looks like. >> iran, the president of iran talking yesterday about getting involved or working with the united states. any problems with you working alongside with iran? >> the longer you wait for this discussion -- remember the force was in iraq and participated --. thank you is part of the revolutionary force. >> iran has been in iraq for years and we know their capabilities. it is a mistake. it mean as failure of united states leadership if we cannot put the arab league together to fight the problem they know is in their best interests and the united states best interests to stop the al-qaeda ride. >> as chairman of house of representatives intelligentsia what your best information? are they continuing to advance? have the shiite militias called by the grand ayatollah to fight a holy war against the sunnis, have they blunted the advance? is baghdad vulnerable? >> baghdad is vulnerable but it appears they have halted the attack on baghdad and now they trying to consolidate their wins in mosul and build in the defenses. they are doing it by shear terror, executions and implement ing law through fear. it is interesting they would stop and rebuild like a normal army when you get that far with your base. either, (a), they ran out of the fuel and equipment and we don't think so; or, (b), they started thinking about the ramification of being dogged down into a fight inside the stiff baghdad because the shi'a militia will protect their home turf is an interesting development and more concerning if you think they have a learned from their past mistakes about overreaching. >> if you could put up the map that shows the area they control which, as you say, is an area the size of indiana all the way from northwest syria, across to northern iraq to the gates of baghdad, forget about baghdad and iraq, that is a safe haven, a base of operations, as we see, stretching from illinois all the way to virginia. how do you take that out? this could make what al-qaeda had in pakistan look like a tea party. >> exactly. that is my concern. that is why you have to be decisive. this isn't a frontal assault on military, it is very targeted military streaks to provide disruption activities from (a) further expansion and, (b), to recruit and grain and finance. those are all important. we have used similar tactics to a large degree of success on al-qaeda leadership. if you apply that same and it is bigger and more complicated you will have to have more pans who are willing to do this. >> that is a real campaign, we are talking about --. >> it will not go away but neither will al-qaeda. this is proof by a sustained campaign against al qaeda cannot go away until we have decided, not what they have decided. >> are we talking weeks? months? years? >> i don't think you can put a timeline on it. it depends on how effective we are and how effective we can make our arab league pans. >> the other challenge we knowflected syria, we watched the cooling of al-qaeda but the indecision caused this ability for them to get healed, to get financed and to get trained and launch this military strike certainly it appears to be military strike into iraq, and it put as different discussion on what we are going to do with syria, as well, and army moderates is three years ago, we will have to have a refocused strategy on how we deal with the rising extremists of eastern syria meaning what do you do with assad? tough question. also, what do we do to disrupt their actives in iraq? we have to do this or we will pay a horrible price. solve our allies. >> president obama promises he will not send ground forces back into iraq but what is he prepared to do? should we intervene at all? our sunday group weighs in. plus, what would you like to ask the panel of the fast moving developments in you've reached the age where you've learned a thing or two. this is the age of knowing what you're made of. so why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain... it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. this is the age of taking action. viagra. talk to you doctor. ♪ ♪ great rates for great rides. geico motorcycle, see how much you could save. . >> in iraq we succeeded in our strategy. we're leaving behind a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant iraq. war in iraq is over, and we welcomed our troops home. president obama repeatedly touting the end of war in iraq as a foreign policy victory for his administration. that is, before this week. it's time now for our sunday panel, brit hume, julie pace, who covers the white house for the -- george will, syndicated columnist, and former democratic congresswoman jane harvin. i want to pick up on my conversation with congressman chairman rogers. president obama is -- >> the president i don't think you kshgs and i don't think the objective is as the president veryset forth, while it will b >> it would be nice and come about in time to say the increasingly dire military situation inside iraq but it could be that the city of baghdad will not fall but it is clear that much of iraq has already fallen and is in the hands of the most brutal kind of terrorist organization you can imagine. the situation in iraq that the president described in the soundbite you played before we started is now gone. it was forefitted i believe by this administration and by the iraqi president who is very ineffective and, i think, a weak leader would has made a multitude of mistakes. however there is no sign that president has been deeply engaged with him trying to prevent him from doing so and i think the leverage we would have had, had we been able to keep a force there, would have helped him do that if he was interested. he seems not to have been the. >> julie, is the white house busy pressuring maliki to reach out to the sunnis or the kurds to former a reconciliation government? what if that doesn't happen? will they let maliki fight it alone? are we just going to leave him to the tender mercies of issis or does he get involved despite he set reconditions? >> there are connections going on between the white house and the government in iraq but president biden has had a long relationship with maliki. in temperatures of what the president said on friday on airstrikes contingent on a political process there are human questions inside the white house about whether maliki would make the political chains he has refused to do over the past several years. there are options, short of airstrikes the united states could do and it is not clear if the political plans in iraq are contingent on the options. that could be an increase in intelligence or sending heave weapons to the iraqis which is dangerous when you put heavy weapons in a situation so unstable. >> without envision if there is no political reconciliation and when you talk about it with chairman rogers he makes it clear how impossible that is, could you see the president backing off and still getting involved in the absence of that? >> in terms of airstrikes it could be difficult if we going to go by the ground rules he laid out on friday out of political process because you have essentially either limited air strikes that may not achieve anything or an open-ended commitment in a country with no political basis if a future. >> i want to play a couple of clips of rebound from just to week which show how quickly he was forced to pivot in temperature of his view of the situation around the world. take a look. >> world is less violent than it has ever been. it is healthy than it has ever been. it has more tolerance. i don't rule out anything. we do have a stake in making sure these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold. >> that leads to this very good question we got from scott schultz on twitter, the president always seems to be caught by surprise. is anyone responsible in the administration for contingency strategies? >> that is the course or change of course in two days. >> what we are getting, if we get value from the $50 billion we spent on intelligence services, mcarthur said every military disaster can be described by two words: too late. it is too late to think we can condition aide on vast political reforms in iraq which are going to nullify the factions at each other's throats for century. viewly said you put heavy weapons in there, when they got to mosul, the isis emptyied out tons of weapons and will be emptied out in iraq and to give you a sense of the humanitarian disaster there are now today more syrian children of school able in lebanon than there are lebanese cool children as the syrian population scatters to neighboring countries. >> congresswoman, this is our worst nightmare, congresswoman harmon, we are talking about a terrorist army and possible -- how big a threat are they? how did president obama let it get to this point. >> well this started a long time ago with zarqawi in iraq, head of al qaeda in iraq who we killed and we thought we had quieted down that particular group and this is a story of this on the front page of the "washington post" but they back. i would not lay it at feet of oh bake. the iraqis refused to allow us to kay? iraq. >> there are argues how a hard president obama pushed. >> and freidman called maliki a "jerk" but i am worried. mike rogers is right, the training of foreign fighters in syria and iraq is really one problem and is a threat to us. they have clean passports and the fact that american suicide bomb certificate in syria and is now part of the video campaign. we need a better strategy than we do right now across the region. >> julies how long does the review go on in this isn't about protecting iraq but protecting the united states. the argument is, it doesn't matter what happens to baghdad, you cannot allow this state, this terrorists stated in the anything east. it is much worse than the al-qaeda and afghanistan. >> whatever the president does will not be framed as united states effort to try to help the iraqis it will be framed as an effort to try to protect american interests both in the region and eventally the homeland because they say the group could strengthen and attack the homeland. in remain toes of timelines it is interesting because on friday there was a lot of talk about we will have to make a decision in days because of the gravity of the situation and you hear at the pentagon and from intelligence acknowledges that they simply do not have a plan yet, if you were to launch airstrikes it is unclear what we would hit so there will be a longer process to figure out what the plan would look like if you take that action. >> we have not mentioned iran and there is an alignment of interests between iran and us. they threatened as we are by this group. >> iran, of course, wants an iraq that tilts to iran and we want an independent iraq. >> we have to take you a break and will see you later. what do you think? should the united states get back in the conflict? joint the conversation on facebook with other viewers. >> an unprecedented we defeat as eric cantor loses a primary to the family backed challenger. what does the loss mean to the g.o.p.? we will talk with two house of representatives republican leaders on opposite side of the split. >> washington insiders with house majority leader eric cantor lost tea party favorite david. it's the only time a majority leader, the second most powerful member of the house, has been defeated in a primary. joining us now to discuss the power struggle and where the gop goes from here from tlanlt congressman and tea party advocate tom price, and from new york the man in charge of electing republicans to the house this november, congressman greg walden. gentlemen, let's start with the election this cong thursday to to replace eric cantor with a new house majority leader. right now it's a race between house whip and the more conservative raul labrador. congressman price, mccarthy is a big favorite to win on thursday. it raises the question, if the party was powerful enough, why does the lack of power to name his successor? >>. >> it tends to fare those individuals with apparatus in face. that doesn't mean that the conservative ring e wing, the tea party group within the house of representatives had lost any of its muster at all. remember, who supports the tea party? it's folks who are interested in lower taxes, limited government, in greater fiscal responsibility, in individual liberty. we need to make certain that it doesn't involve losing those criminals and it doesn't mean you can't gain step by step by step. the reason that it's exciting is exaggerated. >> one of the ways in which david beat eric cantor was arguing that he was too much a member of the establishment and he represented the brass roots of the tea party. gin that, congressman, are house republicans making a mistake ignoring the tea party when they choose a replacement for cantor? >> no. look, kevin mccarthy has done a great job. he has a lot of friends across the spectrum of the conference, and i think he will end up winning this in a pretty solid way. he and raul have to fight it out. i'll tell you, though, what i take out of this election in virginia is this. loss the grassroots conservative base, and they're upset about washington where are they're really upset about barack obama and policies and the last thing they want is nancy pelosi to come back as speaker. democrats and others try to read too much into this. it isn't there. it might abe big mass take for them in the fall. i talked to david. he is more a regular republican than everyone else. we need everybody together to beat democrats so we don't give obama bomb a rubber stamp in the next cycle. >> i understand you both. >> there is a split. assuming mccarthy wins, then there's going to be a battle to replace him in the number three position as the whip in the house. candidates, relatively moderate and tea party advocates, more conservatives are split. congressman price, what if he wins and you still don't have a hard right grassroots conservative in the leadership and especially you don't have one from a true red state? >> look, there are divisions -- there are differences within our party, but there's a whole lot that holds us together. i've been throughout multiple districts in this state over this past weekend, and what folks are upset about are the ways that the president is handling the border security and the human tragedy down on the border, the way he handled bergdahl and trading him for the taliban five. the way it is the irs have targeted citizens in this country. >> i know your differences, but there is a split in the party, and i'm asking you what if, once again, you still don't have because i know there was a great memorient inside your faction at the house that i don't have somebody from the south, you don't have a hard right tea party conservative in the leadership. what if at the end of this week you still don't? >> well, you got to let this play out. >> this is between steve. >> the challenge we have as a country is to get back on track, and the it's the president's policy that understands are not moving this nation in the right direction. >> one of the big issue the cant p a big issu the primary, andt who ended up winning, the tea party advocate, he said that cantor's support of a modified dream act that would have provided some path to legalization for some of the young people who are brought here illegally as children, he says that was am nature. congressman walden as the man in charge of getting more republicans elected to the house of representatives, do you worry about this hispanic vote and that the republican party will, really, offer nothing to hispanic as you heads into the election? >> well, first of all, i think, again, you have to go back and do a real analysis of what happened in the race and what didn't happen. a lot of people ascribe a lost reasons why cantor lost and i don't think the research has been done. >> you don't think immigration and david brat --. >> i think it play add row. >> don't think immigration and david brat say it was amnesty was an issue? >> i didn't say that, i said i think it played a role. there were a lost other issues in the race. voter turnout, the campaign that was run. >> i am asking you about this and whether the republican party is in danger of alienating hispanic voters and you will pay a price. >> there are republicans who believe we have to get border security in place. second it is hard to have a discussion with the president of the united states when he keeps waiving existing laws, how do we know he will enforce something if we do go forward on this? that causes a lot of distrust at the grass roots level and in the congress, frankly, if you look at all the levels, parts of the laws he doesn't like, so that makes it difficult and hispanic voters care about jobs and the economy like the rest of us do. there are a lot of other issues beside immigration and i think we will. >> having said that, mitt romney lost to president obama by 44 points by hispanic voters. don't you have to do something, congressman, to appeal more and immigration is certainly part of the equation and something that hispanics care about, don't you have to do something to avote getting in real trouble at ballot box in 2014 and especially in 2016? >> there is in doubt our immigration system is broken but i have come to believe it is the president who is the largest opponent to immigration reform. >> he won with the hispanics and mitt romney lost among hispanics. >> you but it was president obama in 2011 who said the border is secure. the americans understand the president was being deceitful with the american people on this. there is a human tragedy going on, on the southern border and the president is doing nothing. what did he do this weekend? he gave a partisan commencement speech and played golf. that is the frustration my constituents have and the american people have. this is a president who is disengaged on solving this challenge of immigration and we look forward to woring with the president but how can you work with someone that the american people don't trust on this issue and we can't trust on this issue because we know that he hasn't enforced the law of the land already? >> finally, cantor, i don't think anyone would doubt, was a pretty conservative member of congress, in fact, he was seen as the might be of leadership who was most open to listening and dealing with the concerns of the tea party faction inside congress. congressman walden, if eric cantor is too moderate, that shows the republican party is outside the mainstream. >> again, people are making all kinds of claims about what happened or didn't happen 2000 relying the facts on the ground. every race is individualized. every rate is spoke. and every race is local. you better dot research to figure out what really happened in this race before you draw the concludes. democrats are trying to spin this every way they can at their peril because what you have is conservatives at grass roots left who are fired up like they were in 2010 and it will play out in the fall and it will not be good for the democrats. >> congressmen, thank you both for coming in today. thank you, gentleman. >> happy father's day. >> happy father's day to you guys. >> what does cantor's defeat mean for republicans and democrats? we chew it over with the panel, next. my name is jenny, and i quit smoking with chantix. before chantix, i tried to quit... probably about five times. it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. my quit date was my son's birthday. and that was my gift for him and me. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. trwith secure wifie for your business. it also comes with public wifi for your customers. not so with internet from the phone company. i would email the phone company to inquire as to why they have shortchanged these customers. but that would require wifi. switch to comcast business internet and get two wifi networks included. comcast business built for business. truly what divides knz pales in comparison to wh what divides republicans pales compared to the conservatives and their democratic party. >> it is a new ballgame. now the public is paying attention what is going on here. and what is going on here is the republican party going even further to the right. >> both sides drawing battle lines this week after eric cantor's stunning defeat and we are back with the panel. what does it mean for getting anything done in washington between now and november? our prospects, obviously, purpose nature right before cantor's defeat, but, it was at least a chance of a compromise, maybe on immigration reform. is any cooperation, any compromise east table? >> on that issue, probably, but i don't think the chances were good, anyway, on the issue. republicans, the republican leaders were trying to talk about it as if it were not dead but i think it has been dead and i don't thing it is going anywhere and probably not were of anything else. at this stage in the election year in this atmosphere, this is not a good time for legislating. >> speaking of that, because it takes both sides of pennsylvania avenue, what is the reaction at white house to the defeat of candor and will will president obama now move ahead on executive action because he feels there is no deal to be made? >> it is interesting. if the cantor loss happened in isolation there would be a lot of clears from the white house, a lawmaker the president has had a tense relationship since the first day but we know what it signals for the president's broader agenda. it looks like the white house will hold out on executive actions until speaker boehner says immigration reform will not happen. that could mean that this takes until august. probably not until the end of the year but probably august until the house moves on, on executive actions. >> if all of the talk about the tea party, this big victory making huge inroads in the republican party, as i have discussed with the two members of congress, it looks like a more moderate member, the number three man, mccarthy, will move up to number two and he could get a moderate taking his number three slot. what happened? >> all of these people will be in trouble. >> relatively speaking "moderate." >> obviously, one of the concerns with cantor he was seen as insufficiently conservative. >> well, an example, cantor loses at 8:00 in the evening on tuesday. by 3:00 in the afternoon wednesday when the stock market closes boeing lost 2.3 percent of its value. why? >> because one of the issues say nothing will get done the i will tell you what could get done because of this is deauthorizing, refusing to reauthorize the export-import bank known in washington as the boeing bang and a symbol to people like david brat of crone any capitalism, not without reason. another timeline --. >> let me ask the connection. with is cantor connected to that? >> he is the nexus between the republicans in the house of representatives and wall street and the financial community generally. he was a support we of reauthorizing the bank and i think the export import bank played as large a role as immigration and they were all part of the same issues that said, this man is an insider not paying attention to the people. >> why does it look like an insider will win for majority leader and may win for whip? >> well, for for the yesterday leader this is a relational place in the house of representatives and mcarthur has good relations with everyone and when you call him a "moderate," smile when you say that. >> if this happens, will it be harder for nancy pelosi to make the argument about the guy on the hard right if you end up with mccarthy, congresswoman harmon? they are seen as establishment, and they are not tea partyers. >> start with mike rogers who gave a splendid interview on show 15 minutes ago and is retiring. why is he retiring? he performed in a bipartisan way as chairman of the house of representatives intelligence committee. a guy like that leaving congress, and leaving and he happens to be republican, is a really bad signal. >> why did you retire? >> let me -- i got a great job offer. >> who says he didn't? >> maybe he did. but the business model of congress is broken. the goal in each party is to blame the other side for not solving the problem. who loses? the country loses and american foreign policy loses. organization, the islamic state of syria in iraq. and if we don't have a smart, strategic view of this, congress should be on board with this, we are vulnerable, and we are vulnerable because eric cantor a and people like eric cantor are no longer going to be in congress. er >> to the degree this is a zero sum game, though, and you know, if republicans win, democrats m lose, or visa versa, the events of this week, which party's better off?which >> well, i'm not sure either party's better off as a result of the events of this week. s the argument is made that this helps the democrats, the defeat and heralded the end of tion immigration reform is a boom to democrats because it's the ever growing hispanic electorate that the republicans don't have any interest in you.ro i'm not sure that's the case.i' i mean, if we break this down and take it just beyond that te particular congressional district in virginia, it was a a very mixed picture. i mean, lindsey graham, who is much more closely identified md with that immigration bill that's so disliked, it seems, by eric cantor's constituents, is it a more comfortable, more conservative state?sta the statewide primary, he wins easily. so, that, it seems to me, sily. counters the argument -- me, >> he ran a good primary. he ran a good race.. so did mcconnell and so did boehner. >> i know it is. boehner won easily. mcconnell won easily. cantor, you can argue, didn't run a very good race.ea the problem with leadership in a this year is there was a time y when you're in the leadership, h you could go home and say, hey,t look, i bring home the bacon, baby. i can get this for you, i can get that for you. in this age where people are concerned about government ge spending, they don't like pork e barrel and they don't trust the leaders, particularly republican constituents believe that their leaders, especially in the hous where they hold a majority, should have been able to do muce more to halt barack obama's agenda -- i think, in effect, they have halted it -- and should have been able to advance the conservative cause more effectively, and therefore, leadership positions are now a burden. so, that i think was a factor in all this. i don't think, you know, if we're looking at 2014 outcomes w for the house, i don't think th outcome of this race is going to make any significant difference. >> i was just going to ask you, less than 30 seconds, george, if there a lasting impact of th cantor's defeat or is there not much except for eric cantor?r >> there may be a medium impact in about 12 daysmu. no one brings home more bacon to his state than thad cochran of mississippi and this may be a harbinger of his defeat. >> also up against a tea party challenger as well. thank you, pat.lso up see you all next sunday. up next, our power player o. the week. a hollywood legend honors his father.ay, li up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo?
