If he’s moving money out of VA I hope he uses it in Michigan....I’m not comfortable betting it all all on PA.
Trump's unconventional candidacy has transcended the usual "red-blue" divide in national elections and turned it into an establishment vs. anti-establishment affair.
And more of the wealthiest, (and most likely to back the establishment status quo), voters are now backing Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Republican Mitt Romney beat President Obama by 10 percentage points among voters earning $100,000 or more per year. Most polls now show that has completely flipped to an eight-to-ten point lead for Clinton. And Virginia is now home to the top two counties for median income in the entire country.
And so much of that growing wealth and attachment to the status quo in Virginia is because of the government. Thanks to lucrative D.C.-area lobbying jobs and the rock-solid job security Virginia's large number of federal government workers enjoy, the state is chock full of residents who rely on Uncle Sam. And with the federal government still growing robustly over the past decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations, that establishment base is getting bigger.

But his relative weakness in the Virginia polls tells us a significant portion of the population there doesn't like the sound of this outsider threatening their way of life. Imagine if Trump came into Michigan and bashed autoworkers, or showed up in Florida and bashed Social Security? Bashing the government and insiders in Washington has a similar effect for a lot of Democrats and Republicans in Virginia.
This is kind of weird, Pence was just in Roanoke today and it was standing room only. Trump has been here twice.
Crooked pulled out of Ohio
both campaigns now concentrating forces where matters
Sounds like disinformation to me. So this is NBC, the same organization who held the tape to use it for maximum effect against Trump and now what they say about the campaign is going to be taken as truth?
Given that I just got a note yesterday looking for volunteers to make calls in VA, that doesn’t sound to me like a pull out by any stretch of the imagination.
I thought that Trump is on his way to a fifty state, landslide victory! What happened to this line of thinking?
Anonymous sources.
Extremely short article and no details.
Biased anti-Trump reporter.
No confirmation from the campaign.
Trump campaign officials not asked for comments or quotes.
Trump is probably winning in Virginia.
GOPe sabotage and NBC collusion?
If NBC (Never Berate Clinton) says it, it MUST be true.
Good move. I pulled out of Virginia 6 years ago.
When did we start believing NBC??
Trump wasn’t going to carry Virginia anyway. And his Pennsylvania chances are slim as well. He can win if he carries Ohio and Florida so concentrate there.
From the same MSM traitors who “bring you all the news you need”—and they want you to have.
It’s amazing to me how many people, even here, just BELIEVE something reported by an outfit like NBC.
The truth is that the Trump campaign never put significant resources in Virginia to begin with. This is more horse s**t.
Some should tell Pence. He had two events here yesterday.
See Tagline.
VA is a blue state. Trump never had a chance there.
Take it with a grain - NBC/NYT/WaPo all working overtime to demoralize Trump supporters.
and a week or so ago, Hillary was pulling out of Ohio. Someone forgot to tell her that.... more disinformation.
My inbox is full of RPV and Trump email this morning still training poll-watchers, volunteers, and GOTV efforts! Many people are still planning on winning Virginia in spite of the corrupt Democrats and all their voter fraud.
