This is hugh and series.

Monmouth is one of the early cheaters, and notoriously left.

So based on polling now, OH, NV, IA, and even CO would be in Trump’s column. I had NEVER done math with CO in it, so that makes the equations different. Obviously, VA or PA is good, but with CO and IA, that’s 12 EVs that I had not counted on and, I think, offsets VA, right?

I have been a broken record on this, but Virginia is not the Democrat state that it is portrayed to be. The bulk of the state is Republican, but candidates like Romney resulted in depressed turnout. FFX County is a big county, and solidly Democratic, but it isn't that big, and is not monolithically Democratic. The Democrats, and the Republican establishment, want people to believe that Virginia is an east coast version of Washington state, but the truth of the matter is that a Republican who can get Republican turnout back up will win VA fairly easily.

It isn't the government contractors/employees that have changed the state, which is a common misconception. It is actually the extremely large increase in "diversity" which has exploded in northern VA. I remember the first Obama election, and in a voting place that ordinarily was quiet and small, it was a sea of people who do not speak English (coupled with a sprinkling of young white liberals). Remember, that Trump gained a huge crowd in the swing county of Loudoun, which is also home to much of the government consultant crowd.

Virginia is not lost. And while it is no longer an automatic Republican state, the right Republican candidate should win comfortably (the new felon vote notwithstanding).
