It will never vote for a Corey Stewart
>Barbara Comstock
lol
I kept telling them it’s a blue state
She would be a hell of a lot stronger than Stewart lol
For god’s sake they elected Terry McAuliffe, One of Hillary’s most trusted allies, as their governor.
VA will be as blue as NJ is now in 10 years
It was always blue, since 2008
They elected one of Hillary’s closet allies as their governor
I think 2017 was the point of no return
>point of no return
Defeatist rhetoric
I wouldn't say 2017 was the point of no return. But I do think that it's not only important for Republican candidates to hold onto their influence in rural areas of the state, but also appeal to those in blue areas outside of NoVA that can easily be flipped, such as around Richmond and Hampton Roads. Culturally, it's definitely not easy to do, but there definitely needs to be some appeal to these folks in heavily populated areas, and more work needs to be put in to get their votes. It shouldn't be ignored and shrugged off as unwinnable like it is in places like Fairfax County.
I do hope to see Jill Vogel run again in a statewide race.
Gut the public sector and you'll have a temporary boost in Democratic turnout as a knee jerk response from retrenched public sector workers but a permanent increase in your voter base over the long term.
In Virginia, that is.
Public workers are only part of the problem in NOVA
It’s just become a very liberal place very quickly
Comstock won't win.
Trump and Romney had basically the same results in Virginia. For a Republican to win, he must get both the Trump and Romney republicans.
It's possible, but quite hard.
while Romney won a greater percentage of NoVa voters
That's what I'm saying.
They balanced eachother out. Trump lost by basically the same margin as Romney.
yep
I recall doing the math a while back though
IIRC even if you gave all those Romney NoVa voters to Trump, he still would have come short
@[Lex] And of course, Trump implemented a federal hiring freeze that probably displeased many liberals in Virginia in 2017.
Democrat turnout in 2017 was comparable to 2016.
Well, many of those NoVa Romney voters voted for Clinton, so you would subtract from her total.
That’s horrible!
It's fake and gay
Wasn’t there someone from Israel who hoaxed a bunch of threats to synagogues and was arrested for it?
A lot of these “hate crimes” are perpetrated by the supposed victims themselves.
Yep. He was the biggest hate criminal of 2016.

@fhtagn : I have so many connections to Corey Stewart now :P
- his wife and I are in the same local conservative women group
- I know his chief of staff and have smoked with him a few times
- I am friends with someone on the PWC board of supervisors that works with him

if anyone here wants her to get a certian message to Corey Stewart, I guess you might have a shot
>smoked with him a few times
