caught up in anti-establishment wave
Del. Scott W.
Taylor’s upset of Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-4th, in Tuesday’s 2nd District
Republican primary is another anti-establishment thunderclap in Virginia
politics, two years after Dave Brat ousted U.S. House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor in the 7th District GOP primary.
“Ultimately, what it
shows is the voters’ overall disgust with Congress,” said Robert D. Holsworth,
a veteran political commentator, formerly at Virginia Commonwealth University.
“It shows that the
traditional value of seniority means very little to the Republican base right
now.”
Taylor will compete
against Democratic activist Shaun D. Brown in the Republican-leaning district
in November.

Wonder if this will have any effect on the
upcoming primary in Wisconsin, with Paul Nehlen challenging Speaker Paul “Omnibus”
Ryan? Recent polls don’t look good for Nehlen, whose #DumpRyan Facebook page is
