Second - This isn't even a mid-term election. It's a special election and for all intents and purposes a one-off that doesn't mean jack shit. It's freaking Virginia for crying out loud, a blue state with a well organized Democrat machine that has zero issues in fomenting vote fraud.
Third, Virginia is the "home of the swamp." How many Never Trumpers from both political parties that infest our Government live there and gladly voted for the transsexual as a slap at President Trump?
C'mon folks, this is a non-event. The mid-terms are going to be a completely different story than this. The fact that not a single polling organization would predict Gillespie to win despite showing him as the leader going into yesterday I think speaks volumes.
None of the pollsters know how to gauge the electorate anymore and one state, Virginia does not a trend make. If the Democrats want to believe it does, I say we let them believe that all the way up to the mid-term elections next November.
IMHO, “transgender woman,” and, “13 term incumbent,” both have a disturbing ring to them.
authored the state’s anti-trans bathroom-ban bill
Rather than anti-trans, I thought the so called bathroom bills were to protect female users of Women’s rooms from package carrying or neutered males who for whatever reason want to have access to women’s restrooms.
