I believe that VA should be a cakewalk win for the R if they had run a MAGA candidate.

They would have won in the primaries but he GOPe funded a third part candidate to siphon off votes for the MAGA candidate. At straight MAGA vs Amnesty and we would have a MAGA candidate.

I'm off the plantation.

third party candidate to siphon off votes

So are you saying that the MAGA voters are stoopid?
Candidates who are right on the issues lose because they run losing campaigns. A good campaign would not lose votes to a 3d party candidate. When a 3d party canidate gets enough votes to be a factor, the voters are really saying “none of the above” including the candidate who is good on the issues.
