Jeffries is going down in flames. I think the calculus on the Dem side is that if they force him out, the entire ticket is going down. But if they hold tight, Spanberger has a chance.

Was anyone really thinking this was going to happen at this point? The dems’ choices are to give in to republican oppo research and look weak, or hold on and try to look strong.

“It is almost difficult to describe how thoroughly Jason Miyares DESTROYED Jay Jones on the debate stage tonight,” said X user @ROOZVA, a Virginia Republican activist. “Miyares was throwing verbal haymakers for the entire hour, and Jay Jones had no idea how to respond. Miyares hit Jones’ texts, reckless driving, and radical record in the House. Jones was on the defensive the entire time, had nothing to say except ‘but Trump.’ That’s not going to cut it for voters. We might’ve seen the final nail in the coffin of his campaign tonight.”

Don’t count your chickens yet.

Dem Voters are the Stupidist, most Ignorant, Whiney Assed, Mentally Deficient people on the face of the Earth.

Virginia, just like NYC, is overrun with these voters.

This is a repeat of the Virginia "Northam" fiasco of 2019, where everyone, including Virginia Senator Tim Cain, called on Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to resign after a photo of him wearing either blackface or a KKK costume (Northam declined to say which) surfaced.

Once it became evident that a Republican might end up as Governor, the calls for resignations stopped. Apparently, party control trumps character flaws and fitness for office to the Democrats.

I posted the details about this on October 8:


This is shaping up to be a repeat of the Ralph Northam / Justin Fairfax / Mark Herring situation in 2019.

Northam was mid-term in 2019 when a college yearbook photo showed either him or the person next to him wearing blackface at a costume party. The other person was dressed in a KKK costume. Northam denied that he was either of the people in the photo, after admitting that he was one of the people in the photo the day before.

Calls for Northam to resign began, including from his Attorney General Mark Herring and the state's Senator Tim Kaine. However, a few days after calling on Northam to resign, Herring himself was forced to admit that he, too, dressed in blackface while in college. This shocked the Virginia Democrats, and they at first were frozen in inaction regarding how to react to both the Governor and Attorney General admitting that they wore blackface in college.

While thesse scandals were brewing, Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax was preparing for Northam to resign and ascending to the Governor's position when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman, Vanessa C. Tyson, an associate professor at Scripps College and fellow at Stanford University, a hotel at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax denide the sexual assault, but not the sex. He said it was consentual and that he was being targeted as a black man about to become Governor of Virginia.

However, five days later a second woman came forward, Meredith Watson, claiming that Fairfax raped her in 2000 when they were both students at Duke University. Calls for Fairfax to resign began.

Now, this is where the hardball Democrat Party politics came into play. The line of succession in Virginia is Governor -> Lt. Governor -> Attorney General -> Speaker of the House. At the time, the Speaker was Kirk Cox, a Republican. If Ralph Northam, Justin Fairfax, and Mark Herring all resigned over these scandals, a Republican would become Governor just as the 2020 primary season was beginning. This was unacceptable.

Therefore, nobody resigned, everybody toughed it out, and nobody took responsibility for anything. Northam was term-limited, Herring ran for reelection and lost to Republican challenger Jason Miyares, and Fairfax ran for Governor and lost to Terry McAuliffe.

Now we see the same dynamics again: Jay Jones finds himself in the position of toughing it out or resigning and handing the AG office to a Republican, but this time Kaine is defending him. What will Jones do?

What WILL he do?

I hope his intended victim and children went on public display to tell the future AG (you know the dems will stick together) that he better give a wide berth if they are ever in the same room. Threatened his kids, too? Yea, it was a threat without the guts to deliver it.

Let him run. If the voters in VA still have one neuron firing, he will get stomped in the election and the GOP wins.

At least the voters of Virginia are showing some sense:

“A recent Trafalgar Group poll from October 8–10 shows Jones at 43.1%, down from 48.8% earlier in the month, with Republican incumbent Jason Miyares leading at 48.9%.”

The democrats’ top law dog-candidate expresses his desire to murder people (and their children) he doesn’t like

“Not seeing a problem here.” Hillary Clinton

How did Jeffries ascend the ranks of Democrat leadership? I have seen nothing of him that is positive.

The family should have gone public, with stories of their children being unable to sleep at night…take a page from the Democrat playbook.
