Tuesday night wasn’t just the Democrats’ Eric Cantor moment. That quickly became the media narrative of the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th Congressional District well before the race was even called, but it’s an incomplete one. No, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s win over Rep. Joe Crowley yesterday was bigger than…

Meet Josh Hawley, the GOP’s own real life Bobby Newport trying to unseat Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill’s Senate seat in Missouri.
