Trump prepared to give ‘whatever resources needed’ to win Virginia
WTVR_TV ^ | October 17, 2016 | CNN Wire

Posted on 10/17/2016 10:18:02 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

After seeing reports last week that his campaign was pulling out of Virginia, Donald Trump picked up the phone and called his Virginia state director Mike Rubino to deliver a very clear message: he will not withdraw, and will give Rubino whatever resources needed to win the Old Dominion.

To back that up, CNN is told the Trump campaign plans to go on the air with television ads in Virginia starting Tuesday in what campaign officials say is a $2 million buy in “key markets” through election day.

Sources familiar with that conversation tell CNN that Trump was not happy with what they say was a botched message from Trump campaign headquarters in New York to field staff in Virginia. The message was supposed to be that Team Trump wanted to send a handful of his staff in Virginia to North Carolina to help with early voting....

The media was gleeful in reporting that Trump had withdrawn from Virginia.

The second I heard it...I knew it was a lie.

Trump is going to win the South...all of it...including Virginia.

Same here, I thought is was bovine scatology at the time.

Loudon and Fairfax counties are the blue sections, everywhere else except maybe the Virginia Beach area is solid Republican. The issue there is those two counties are are HUGE and completely over populated and over developed. My BiL and SiL live there, I don’t know how they deal with it. MS-13 is in those areas as well. A kid was killed by them in the neighborhood they used to live in.

I had the privilege of living in the Old Dominion for more than a decade. As my late uncle from the Richmond area used to say, Virginia is “God’s Country.”

It’s a shame that an influx of Beltway Bandits has ruined what otherwise is a solidly conservative and Christian state.

I think it was a pretty smart possum ploy by Trump considering the last 2 statewide R’s outperformed their polling deficits by up to 10 points (albeit in losing efforts). Let the media do the work for you gleefully getting out the word that VA is over so that low propensity D’s stay home.

That's my default position on *everything* I hear from the mainstream media. My first thought is what propaganda are they pushing now?

Turn on the GPS on Obama phones to track the busses.
To get a phone they had to give their names too. Is it the same as whis voting?

Interestingly enough, NoVa used to be one of the few GOP strongholds in Virginia - along with the suburbs of Richmond.

The rest of the state was Democrat - although a fair number of the rural Dems were actually quite conservative (Byrd Democrats).

Now a good part of NoVa is over-run with govt workers, illegal aliens and other deadbeats.

In order for Republican to win statewide in Virginia, he/she has to make some decent inroads in NoVa.

Trump is spending most of his time and resources in states that Romney lost in 2012.

This is a very good sign and a winning strategy.

Richmond is pretty blue. VA Beach is somewhat tempered by the massive military installations in Tidewater.

God Bless Donald Trump!

How Can Any American?

How can any American support anyone, running for President, who does not respect the stated purpose of the Constitution, she has repeatedly sworn to preserve? The Preamble to the Constitution states that purpose:

We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Our "posterity," of course, are our lineal descendants. A purpose that is 100% consistent with Donald Trump's call to put America First. It is 100% consistent with the Fifth Commandment, and traditional Western values, in general. Mrs. Clinton's call for open borders, and the failure to properly vet immigrants from lands with very different value systems, is 100% inconsistent with the Constitutional purpose.

How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump, who not only understands & accepts what the Constitution requires. He strenuously exposes Mrs. Clinton on issue after issue!

Trump is willing to risk a lifetime of success--his whole career & fortune--to take on a corrupt media, that tries in every unfair, intellectually dishonest, way to cover up Mrs. Clinton's crimes and repeated acts of betrayal, in order to stand for us, our Constitution and our clear interests, on a host of vital issues. Consider:

1. Trump supports and has been endorsed by the border guards. Mrs. Clinton has shown only disdain for those trying to keep America safe from a flood of unauthorized invaders.

2. Trump supports the rights of Americans to efficiently arm themselves, both for their own protection and for the protection of America! Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly sought means to disarm American families.

3. Trump has supported local Police in violent confrontations with neighborhood thugs; while Mrs. Clinton & Obama have allied themselves with virulently anti Police groups--some funded by George Soros--groups determined to deny their law abiding neighbors, the Police protection, necessary to make those neighborhoods safe.

4. Trump understands that making any neighborhood safe, is the key to increasing constructive activity in such neighborhood;--the key to people being able to start local businesses, with some hope of success; the key to better job opportunities, better credit ratings, etc. Mrs. Clinton has shown herself more intent on encouraging and supporting those Soros funded groups.

5. Donald Trump supports all forms of American energy production! He wants to let the coal miners get back to work; to take advantage of improved technology that allows a cleaner use of coal. Mrs. Clinton has insulted the coal miners, by refusing to help them get back to work, while she patronizes them; offering them a new dependence on even more Governmental meddling.

6. Returning to the Constitution--the solemn compact (or contract) that authorizes us to even have a Federal Government;--the charter, that once--when truly honored--made us the envy of the earth:

Donald Trump has pledged to appoint only those who honor the clear intent of that charter, to the Federal Judiciary. Mrs. Clinton has promised to only appoint Judges who agree with her ghoulish view of Feminist issues: such as the idea that it is O.K. for a woman--on mere whim--to have a healthy, already half born baby, killed in cold blood, in something euphemistically labeled a "partial birth abortion!"

7. Donald Trump, daily addresses great rallies, to discuss these and other vital issues; such as the damage to American workers & communities, resulting from trade deals, and immigration policies, that do not protect our rooted population. Mrs. Clinton has avoided in depth discussion of issues; preferring, instead, an incessant attack on Donald Trump's personality; his tone; his supporters;--in each case misrepresenting the same by a combination of lies, cherry picked but misleading data, gross exaggerations, and citations of spurious media smears, engineered by a slavish press, which covers up actual crimes, in a blind, but determined, support for the perpetrator.

Under such circumstances: How can any American vote for Mrs. Clinton? How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

Note further: There are thousands of organizations, some Faith based (both evangelical & social); some secular, but ideological; some based on Humanist arrogance (Return To Babel). Among them there is something to represent just about any imagined human interest. Our written Constitution is the sole organizational effort focused solely on the interests of the rooted American. How dare any American betray or trivialize our organization; the Constitutional Republic, as it was intended by the Fathers, who won it for their posterity?! How can any American refuse to vote for Donald Trump?

May the living God Bless all those who understand what is truly at stake!

He’s not going to win Virginia. With three weeks to go he would be better off spending his money in states like Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina where he has a far better chance of winning.

I will let Trump be the judge of that, he has internal polling we don’t have access to. If he did not think it was close he would not waste money.

Trump has billions of dollars, millions of supporters and is knocking the hell out of 12 bimbo bullshit stories, and you would give him advice on how to win?

Get a job because as an adviser, nahhhhhh.

Thank you. I love how he/she makes that statement with such authority of not winning PA with no evidence cited whatsoever.
