It is becoming more apparent that Virginia, not Ohio or Florida, will be the necessary ingredient for a Trump victory.
Virginia until 2006 was a most reliable Republican state at the national level. However, in an indication of what will happen to the United States as a whole, and what has already happened in California, the large influx of illegal aliens into Virginia, and the gross expansion of government in the suburbs around Washington, has created a big democrat advantage.
Yes, illegal aliens vote in Virginia, in large numbers. The SEIU and affiliated groups have registered them, and no one ever checks the registrations for fraud. They just check off the US Citizen box and that’s it. Democrats then drag them to the polls, or more often, vote them absentee so they don’t show up at the polls where they might be challenged.
Federal government expansion, and the influx of lobbying organizations with numerous new employees also adds to the democrat totals.
Top that off with a Virginia Republican party where the leadership is RINOs who support democrat policies at all levels and commit fratricide with true conservatives (e.g., Cuccinelli) and you have a bright red state turned blue.
Virginia is the key for Trump.
And his worst enemies are liberal Republicans.
We don’t need VA.. if we get OH, FL, NV, Iowa and all the states Romney won, plus Maine CD2, we’re at 266. NH or Colorado would get to 270... winning Maine overall gets us to 269 and goes to the House (without CO or NH), and last poll was dead even in Maine
Sure, some illegal aliens vote, and they no doubt vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, but mass legal immigration is the bigger demographic threat to conservatism. Most legal immigrants favor the Democrats, and tens of millions have come since 1965. They’ve helped turn Virginia into a blue state.
