Trump's Campaign Is 'Pulling Out of Virginia'
NBC ^ | 10-12-16 | ALEXANDRA JAFFE and ALI VITALI

Posted on 10/12/2016 11:45:18 PM PDT by Anti-Hillary

Donald Trump's campaign is "pulling out of Virginia," a move that stunned staff in the battleground state, three sources with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.

The decision came from Trump's headquarters in New York and was announced on a conference call late Wednesday that left some Republican Party operatives in the state blindsided. Two staffers directly involved in the GOP's efforts in Virginia confirmed the decision.

The move to pull out of Virginia shows Trump is "running essentially a four state campaign," with the focus now shifting to battlegrounds critical to his chances in November: Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, a source with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.

My husband said there’s a Chesterfield volunteer meeting next week, I think Thursday. He was asking me if I wanted to go since we’re both off that day. As far as I know it hasn’t been cancelled. He didn’t say anything about it tonight.

Better not go! 'Cause, you know, NBC says so... < / sarcasm off >

“how is Trump supposed to do better than G.W. when the state keeps getting less white every cycle?”

Every single state is under siege like this; we won’t produce enough children, so our government (both parties) simply traffics them here from the Third World. Nothing highlighted this as well as the “unaccompanied minors” on our southern border.

true. The goal of the government is to increase gov employment. Just like the government wants to increase those reliant on some form of welfare. This insures a majority democratic voting base in the future.

It could be good, it might be that Trump’s polling show him leading Clinton in Virginia.

It means Virginia is owned by Democrats now. It has sold itself to the Marxists like Maryland.

I don't believe this story.

Anonymous sources.
Extremely short article and no details.
Biased anti-Trump reporter.
No confirmation from the campaign.
Trump campaign officials not asked for comments or quotes.
Trump is probably winning in Virginia.
GOPe sabotage and NBC collusion?

All while the fainting couch crowd clutches their pearls and as if on cue, posts doom and gloom. Predictable.

Fainting couches, and soon, Safe Spaces, where they can hide from scary ideas!

My inbox is full of RPV and Trump email this morning still training poll-watchers, volunteers, and GOTV efforts! Many people are still planning on winning Virginia in spite of the corrupt Democrats and all their voter fraud.

Leaving Virginia for North Carolina? I doubt it's a sign that he's ahead in Virginia. He should have NC locked up before VA.

He's not leaving a lot of options on the table.

It’s never good, this can also be Trump losing funding from the RNC.
Why would the guy who fights everywhere give up on a state (not counting California).

It is hard for me to believe that the vast majority of voters in Virginia work for the government.

DC is the government, and it is a conflict of interest for the government to vote for the government.

Union-thug bureaucRATs and other government "workers" should be banned from working on RAT campaigns, and jailed if they do.

Of course, that's not the case, and it's exactly how the RATs use your tax dollars to defeat you.

Because it's the residence of all the Washington bureaucrats.

Well said. Same with my husband, he left the profession when he saw how journalism was falling. The stories he told!

The real problem as that the Republican Party of Virginia has been owned by Democrats for many years.
