Obama only won VA in 2012 by 150,000 votes & that’s with loser no movement Romney!!!

I can’t believe with TRUMP’s movement going against Hillary, we can’t take around 76,000 votes & win VA!!

I agree, all this doom and gloom about Virginia ! Black voting is WAY down and Trump will get more then Romney. I think we have a fighting chance in Virginia !!!

BS. Romney received more votes in VA than any Rep Presidential candidate in history. He got 100,000 more votes than McCain in 2008 and Bush in 2004. VA is trending to a solid blue state in statewide elections.

I worked in 2012 on GOTV in VA. We broke our backs getting additional voters. The Dems are the beneficiaries of mass immigration and higher minority birthrates. One third of Fairfax County, the largest county in VA, is foreign born. NoVA has one third of the voters in the state. The Dems are well organized, funded well, and they are obsessive fanatics in NoVA.

PA is more achievable than VA. In a few years, VA will be another solid blue state. Demography is destiny.

It's more complicated than just flipping votes. One out of four votes come from Northern Virginia, which is increasingly liberal due to the mass of both federal and state workers in Northern Virginia. Also, the biggest county in Virginia, Fairfax - over 1/3 is foreign born now and they vote overwhelmingly democrat. Add the Norfolk/Va Beach area and Richmond liberal areas and the rest of the state can't outvote the urban areas.

You add four years, and there are more foreign born voting and more governmental workers and it is tough to overcome.

Also, about 1 in 5 votes are black votes and the republican candidate has a distinct disadvantage.

Now, it is likely the black vote will be less this year. If the black vote goes down just 2% of the total vote, then that is about 80,000 less Clinton votes. It all depends who shows up.
