Scandal-plagued Virginia Dems see money dry up
The Hill ^ | 4/17/19 | REID WILSON

Virginia’s top three Democrats have seen donations to their political action committees almost completely dry up in the wake of three separate scandals that rocked the commonwealth earlier this year.

Political groups run by Gov. Ralph Northam (D), Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) and Attorney General Mark Herring (D) all struggled to raise money over the past three months, according to campaign finance reports filed earlier this week.

The money stopped flowing, the reports show, in the days after Northam apologized for, and then denied, being in a college yearbook photo wearing either blackface or a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood.

Days later, Fairfax was accused of committing sexual assault against two women, which he has denied.

LOL!

Too bad the VA GOP is still run by Bush League Republicans and won’t capitalize on this.

The VA GOP needs George Allen back, he can raise money for them.

The VA GOP is projected to lose the legislature despite of this because the Democrats have demographic advantage.

When money starts disappearing for DEMs, watch for the bodies to start piling up somewhere.

2 racists and a rapist. These people would’ve been nuked had they been Republicans.

Why do you keep pushing that loser, Guava ? Allen hasn’t won a race in almost 20 years, which you’ve been reminded of repeatedly.

But then, your “remedy” for the GOP is pushing RINO left-wingers. Works so well in NJ, doesn’t it ?

“Why doesn’t he just sell a few of his slaves?”

You mean like his Lt. Governor? He’s a bad bet too because he’s been accused of raping a couple of women. I stand constantly amazed at the $hit we elect to public office. I mean today we read that the lone vote in Laguna Beach, CA to remove the American flag from the sides of the city’s police cars is some Capo B!tch who tells her constituents that it “offends the illegals” that live there. And it isn’t really a part of our “Democracy.” She doesn’t even know that we’re a Republic! I mean who “breaks into a country” that they hate? Answer: Someone who is looking for someone else to pay their way in life! Trump is right, we’ve been way, way too generous with the rest of the world for far too long. Cut off foreign aid to countries that are “sending” their trash people to invade us, and tell Mexico the next step will be a shooting war with them if they don’t stop the migrants.

Politics tends to attract a lot of psychopaths.

Now would be a good time for VA Republicans to get their s#it together.

“Politics tends to attract a lot of psychopaths.”

You know what they say: “What do you call an unsuccessful lawyer?” Answer: Either “Your Honor,” or “Here’s the gentleman ( or gentlelady) from the State of X!”

Jerrold (The Waddler) Nadler is an excellent example: He has a simian-like head with two eyes that are so close together that he can see through a keyhole with both of them at the same time, and a mouth that can hoover a 16” pizza whole!

Allen is the only VA Republican that can win sadly.

If not Allen, Cantor, Comstock, or even Joe Theissman can win.
