the GOP-e is a LOSING ticket and not only in Va.
He wouldn’t have won regardless.
We always do this to ourselves. There was no way Gillespie was going to win. He was never ahead in the polls. Virginia is a Blue State. So we lost in a State we were always going to lose and now we look at it like a big failure. GEEZ... ENOUGH.
The East Coast is shifting to all Left, a trend that has been going on for decades. I have watched Pennsylvania go this way for a long time. Outside the urban areas, it still is conservative, but less so as time goes on. Liberalism is a progressive disease.
There are still counties in Southern Illinois that go 70 to 80% GOP. Urbanization is problematic.
over 12 % of Virginians are now foreign-born. Another large portion are hood DC overflow. It’s certainly not the state it used to be. Sad.
George W. Bush made it a blue state with third world immigration.
The GOP is a waste of time and money.....they either go 100 percent Trumpism....or they fail and the country is done if the democrats run DC again...
George Bush didn’t make it blue, the explosion of the size of federal government u dee Obama made it blue.
I understand there in much block voting - by categories:
1. Blacks, throughout state - usually over 90% for Democrats
2. Muslims, have a large population in Northern Virginia and probably vote close to 100% for Dems
3. Hispanics all over state probably vote 90% for Dems
4. Unions: government, shipyards, docks, railroad - vote strong for Dems
All that the Republican have a chance for are non-union white men and women but we don’t get enough to win Virginia. But that is the group to work on.
We can take back VA and every other State if we fight. We can’t rely on politicians to fight. We have to do it as the people. Challenge your neighbors and friends. Take your friends and children shooting. Connect, push, fight, never quit. Don’t write off any State. Don’t ever give up. Fight, fight, fight. We need to get motivated for 2018. The rats are pushing, we need to push back 1000%.

Sabato couldn’t hit the side of a barn with a scattergun.
Sanatorium is right. The Dem victory in Virginia is not a surprise and certainly not predictive.
Sabato has a new and improved toupée.
Maybe a different haircut from when he was younger, but toupée? no way
Larry Sabato talked about the immigrants in Virginia in 2008, and Obama won VA in 2008.
Virginia is gone.
Obama won both times because blacks showed up at the polls in record numbers to elect a black president. when the Hildabeast ran, black people had no reason to vote and didn’t like her. Virginia still went blue in 2016...it’s a blue state. Is it because of immigrants or all the lefties in gubmint? I’ll go with the latter.
