PBS Analyst: If Dems Lose In Virginia, It'll Be 'Close to Civil War Within the Democratic Party'
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/4/2017 | Tim Graham

With statewide elections on Tuesday in Virginia and New Jersey, the PBS NewsHour week-in-review segment strangely focused on Democrats for a change. Liberal analyst Mark Shields shocked PBS anchor Judy Woodruff by saying if Virginia’s Democratic candidate for governor, Ralph Northam, can’t defeat Republican Ed Gillespie with his alleged Trump baggage, there will be hell to pay:

MARK SHIELDS: I would say this, Judy. If, in fact, the Democrats lose on Tuesday in Virginia, that it will lead to — close to civil war within the Democratic Party.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Whoa.

SHIELDS: It will be — there will be reprisals between the Bernie — that Northam has run a very conventional, sort of cautious campaign, and that will be — and Bernie Sanders — Tom Perriello, the — his primary opponent on the other side, there will be questions that he had — the Democratic Party really didn’t stand — and 2016 all over again.

I wonder who wants to be the identifiable political head of the Hillary resistance wing of the RAT party? i.e. the first in line for Arkancide.

Judy Woodruff and Mark Shields, two Tales from the Crypt.

Did they just dig them up for Halloween? I thought they'd been long dead.

The radicalization of the Democratic Party is accelerating. Judging from this year's campaign, the Democrats have doubled down on men having babies and women having penises; they've raced past open border to explicit, exuberant anti-white racism (latent for a long time, but now becoming explicit); they have escalated from the razing of confederate statues to an assault on all the founders and Columbus, with the Howard Zinning of U.S. history the goal; they no longer embrace freedom of speech and religion; and they are explicitly socialist. This will not end well.

The question is, given what the Democrats have become, do we really want to abolish the filibuster in the Senate? I know; the Democrats may do it anyhow the next time they have the majority, but should we hand them the fait accompli?

Fortunately the only thing that ever occurs to crazy people is to double-down on the crazy.

My gut says, no, they don’t have the troops and no, they won’t turn on Obama.

What if OBAMA turns on HER? Both of them have huge egos. It is inevitable that there will be a final battle for control of the Dems

Don't you just love how every MSM news story is from the perspective of how it helps or hurts Democrats?

They never talk about how a win in Virginia is good for Republicans or Trump's agenda.

They never report from the side of the group that wins the encounter; it's all from the view of Democrats only, win or lose.

Every, and, I mean every single voter in Virginia should and must cast their vote to elect Republican, Ed Gillespie, next Tuesday, Election Day, November 7,2017!!!

The successful election of Ed Gillespie does three (3) most important, positive things. Gillespie becomes Governor of Virginia, Corey Stewart lines up to massively defeat Democrat, Senator, Tim Kaine in the Mid-Term elections of 2018 and, The entire Democrat Party takes another massive big step to its political destruction.

Virginian voters, all, enmasse,...do it, elect Ed Gillespie Governor and MAGA...Go POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! Turnout, Turnout, Turnout...to “Gillespie” VICTORY!!!
