In Virginia, Dave Brat Runs to Represent His District, Not National Pundits

At a town hall last May in Blackstone, Va., congressman Dave Brat, representing that state’s seventh district, couldn’t get a word in edgewise. A comment about the importance of economic growth was met with jeers from the crowd of mostly women, many of whom were waving red rectangles of construction paper they had brought for the occasion. The town hall was one of many across the country that spring at which Republican congressmen were met with an angry reception, but Brat’s drew national attention. The congressman who had three years prior defeated House majority leader Eric Cantor on the back of a voter revolt was now confronting his own. The rebel had become The Man.

I live in Dave Brat's district. The Democrats are pouring in money and personnel to have him defeated by Deep State Spanberger. Spanberger seems to have purchased all the billboards in the area showing off her mug. Tons of robocalls ,and a Spanberger person even was knocking doors. Spanberger has run a vapid campaign hiding her Leftist credentials. One reason the district is a toss up is it was redrawn incorporating more areas right outside the city of Richmond where lower socioeconomic people live.

Speaking of Spany....

Democrat Abigail Spanberger Worked at ‘Terror High,’ Which Promoted Violence Against Non-Muslims

I live here, too.
The amount of money that has been committed to this race is unbelievable.
The CIA really wants Dave Brat replaced with one of their own.

Brat is one of the best of 435, the Deep State really hates him for taking out the weasel Eric Cantor.

We are not supposed to take out Cheap Labor Express stooges.

They also cut out the Mechanicsville Tea Party from the District and they were instrumental in Cantorizing the weasel Eric Cantor.

Whether the felon vote or the gerrymandering, McAuliffe was the Clintons' kiss of death to Virginia conservatives.

I hope you all survive.
