Eric Cantor - Former House Majority Leader, US Republican Party

Stephen Sackur speaks to US Republican establishment figure Eric Cantor. With their leadership race far from settled, is his party prepared for next year's presidential election?

The frontrunner to win the party's presidential nomination is Donald Trump - a billionaire businessman turned celebrity who despises the Republican establishment. Stephen Sackur speaks to Eric Cantor who has long been a pillar of that establishment. He was the number two Republican in the House of Representatives until he got sensationally dumped in a primary contest. What on earth is going on inside the Republican party?
