throwns. everything you need to know is summed up by the quote in game of thrones. what is dead may never die. perry, is it wrong for people to conclude eric cantor losing means suddenly immigration reform isn t happening? because was it happening? i hear you, joy. there was a very small window to pass immigration reform this year. almost a nonexistent one, i would argue. nonexistent completely now. it was already pretty narrow. i was in south carolina last night for the primary. i picked the wrong one, clearly. that said, important note, lindsey graham i talked to afterward. he said it s hard for me to conclude immigration reform killed eric cantor since i m a big immigration reform advocate and graham won overwhelmingly last night. he made the point if you want to look at what happened in this small district in virginia, it s hard to make two broad about immigration reform dying and any republican being for it can t win because lindsey graham won overwhelmingly last night. abs
