But but yer Buddy “you know who” predicted Gillespie would win in a landslide. The fact that Gillespie was polling 2 pts behind the Democrat in a Democrat state apparently didn’t sink in. Here is my shocked face :-0
Virginia voted for gun control.
Exactly...nothing to do with Trump.
Yeah, Gillespie wasn't supposed to win last night so it's not surprising that he lost by 8 points in a state that Trump lost by 5.
However, long time Virginia House of Delegates member Bob Marshall lost to a transgender. Marshall appears to be a fairly solid conservative.
Example, 0% score by NARAL (pro choice group) and a 100% score by Virginia Citizens Defense League (i.e. pro 2nd Amend)
So for 25 years, he's re-elected in his state district on a Republican / Conservative platform....and now he gets beat by a liberal transgender.
That's a pretty massive change with the electorate in that area.
The Republican party better shape up, especially those in Congress, or what happened to Marshall may happen to others.
Good to know!
As a Jewess on the US, I can only point out that the number of women who allegedly DATED, but had no sex with, Roy Moore is EXACTLY the same number who accused President Clinton of FORCIBLE RAPE, a FAR more serious offense. Now we know why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST. Just sayin’!
