Stephen Sackur speaks to US Republican establishment figure Eric Cantor.

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?

Is the US Republican Party serious about winning back the White House in 2016? The frontrunner to win the party's presidential nomination is Donald Trump - a billionaire businessman turned celebrity who despises the Republican establishment.
