No.
I listen to NPR for comic relief. I imagine these guys sitting behind their mics with their hipster hats on trying to act all worldly and wise as they put up the same high quality of reporting and self important rants they did at their high school newspaper.
No blue wave in sight when you look at Virginia’s 2017 elections and compare them to the 2016 election.
NPR is delusional, and their audience eats this stuff up.
They think themselves clever if they can remember how to get home, three times out of five...
All wards of the State, all takers, the beneficiaries of set-asides, "programs", entitlements, and free stuff.
"Who's your daddy?"
VA is blue now due to high populations of government workers, immigrants and government contractors in northern Virginia. Drastically cut government and the need for government workers and contractors declines.
This is a lot more simple than political junkies make it.
When the Legislature does not do what the People want, they kick them out. In NH, we have seen huge swings from 2006-2016, back and forth, as the voters vent their frustration.
In Congress, we have a situation where both major parties are 100% committed to blocking what the People want, and to making sure they don’t get it.
In our system, when the guys in the majority don’t do what you sent them there to do, your only voting choice is to send in the other guys.
That’s exactly what will happen in 2018.
A few weeks ago I found a bunch of clips on how Hillary would win in a landslide and Trump did not have a chance. This sounds just like those pre-election videos.

NPR reporting on just two elections in solidly democrap states.
(Message: Ignore all of the preceeding elections and cross your fingers)
NPR should have gone the way of the Dodo bird in ‘95, but Noot pulled their fat out of the fire.
Noot is the re-giftable gift!

No, but there is one in the toilet bowl.
The writer has to produce words.
Some words were produced from pretty much thin air
Hypothetical speculation with no real basis
Mara, dear .... the vote in VA was fueled by the ironic and obscene anti-Gillespie ad put out by the “Latino Victory Fund.” If racism is your thing, this was your ad!!
I worked at the polls on election day. To say Hispanic and minority voting was up would be to minimize what went on. I’d appreciate someone’s doing a turnout analysis as to Hispanics/Blacks/Muslims/ Whites compared to prior VA gubernatorial elections. Also, I’d sure like someone to see how many non-citizens managed to get registered to vote, and did vote.
Oh, the great irony? The ad showed ‘children of color’ running from a scary truck with a Gillespie bumper sticker and Confederate flag, boys grabbing a little girl in her hijab, “run, run...” As the ad was running on TV, Sayfullo Saipov, a Muslim refugee granted entry to the US under an idiotic ‘random drawing’ program meant to increase our “diversity’ (as if we don’t have enough), rented a truck from an American company and drove it into a NYC walking/running path, killing 8 and injuring 11 others. After mowing down walkers/runner over a mile’s course, Saipov jumped out of his truck shouting “Allahu Akbar” and later insisted on hanging an ISIS flag in his hospital room (who’s picking up that hospital tab?)
So, if racism sells in ‘18 and the Dems and their supporters continue this line of political discourse, Mara may just be right. Especially when conservatives choose to stay home instead of voting for an imperfect R candidate on the ballot.
Hey Mara, check with Charlie..oh wait.
This is proof that those at NPR are using mind distorting drugs.
Stop funding to socialist democrats PBS / NPR propaganda with taxpayers dollars .....NOW !

When one looks at the 9% and 5% federal funding then “federal and state funded” colleges and universities money laundering more to PBS/NPR in the 25 to 30% level as well as Federal funding to “local NPR/PBS” stations versus the PBS/NPR corporation who in turn get that federal funding indirectly from those individual stations in the form of “subscriptions” ....... around 75% of this socialist presstitute propaganda arm of the polidiot parties funding is from TAX PAYERS dollars.
That's something you don't see everyday.
Billy Jeff's baby momma is impartial if nothing else.
We're doomed!
Virginia was a GOP self-inflicted wound.
