What’s wrong with VA is the same thing that is wrong is so many places. All one need do is look at which letter follows a name. Is it a D or an R?

Kinda telling that the #MeToo and the #I believe her crowd hasn’t spoken up loudly enough to drive these disgraces from office.

Democrats know that they aren’t the intended target of #MeToo and if they just weather a 2 week media blitz, they can survive anything.

Blackface and past slurs as well.

Democrats are still angry at the Democrat politicians who asked Al Franken to step down.

Virginia is now a solid blue state for two reasons - immigration and a elitist RINO establishment that would rather lose than cede party control to conservatives.

The usually perspicacious Salena missed that. It’s different from her Pennsylvania.

Illegal immigrants from Central America and green card non-citizens from Asia are registered and vote in large numbers in democrat controlled Northern Virginia. It is often the margin of victory for the Democrats.

The establishment Republicans who run the party are feckless liberal never-Trumpers who brag about “reaching across the aisle”. If a conservative wins a primary, that back stab him and openly support the democrat opponents (Cuccinelli, Stewart, North, etc.). They will withhold funds from conservative congressional and senate candidates for federal and state offices, guaranteeing their loss.

It is this apathy and antipathy by country club Republican elites and the exhaustively recruited immigrant voters that the Democrats and their allies like the SEIU have harvested that are quickly making Virginia into California East.

It is a lesson thatRepublicans better learn soon, but I doubt they will, since the establishment who still run the party are too busy hating Trump.

The VA Governor is term limited( on 6 yr term ) so the impeachment impetus is highly reduced.

The MSM has the power to spike a story unfavorable to the leftist cause.

Virginia GOP is staffed and operated by Democrats.

It’s outrageous they get away with it but they do.

He can't do it without the aid of the Republican party. But as we've seen for decades, the GOP just doesn't care.

No in this case the problem is Virginia.

There is no sense in your statement.

VA ELECTS dems.

So for dems to BE a problem, they have to be elected by the state that you basically say has nothing to do with the problem...

And they won’t speak up because they’re Dems

Hmm that is interesting coming from someone (You) who is from South Carolina and not Virginia.

Mass immigration changed VA from red to blue. Add to that domestic migration from the Northeast to the DC metro area and a 20% black population that will make VA solid blue. I watched it happen over 36 years in NoVA. One-third of Fairfax County, the largest county in the state, is now foreign born.

Correct with one exception. Legal immigration, not illegal aliens voting, has changed the electoral balance. I say that as both a poll watcher and election officer for decades in NoVA.

Yet the media, largely outside of Virginia and almost entirely dem, fails to widely and continually disseminate the story, as they did with the macaca affair.
