Dems Pour Money Into Virginia Ahead of Crucial Elections
Washington Free Beacon ^ | October 14, 2019 | Joe Schoffstall

Posted on 10/15/2019 6:44:28 AM PDT by C19fan

Prominent Democratic donors and groups have pushed more than $13 million into Virginia in an attempt to oust Republican politicians from the control of the legislature.

Virginia, one of four states that have legislative elections in November, has been viewed as a pivotal state to recapture power by the nation's most prominent liberal donors and organizations. Those outside players are injecting large swaths of cash into Virginia in hopes of flipping the legislature. Republicans currently possess a one-seat advantage in the state's 40-seat Senate and a 3-seat majority in its 100-member House of Delegates.

The state was identified by the largest liberal donor network as being central to their goals of taking back progressive power on a structural level. The Democracy Alliance, a coalition of more than 100 secretive liberal millionaires and billionaires, has injected more than $1.83 billion into progressive infrastructure since its inception in 2005.

I live in a VA state legislative district that has been bombarded by ads on all media: mailings, on YouTube, TV, and calls. The GOP looks like will lose control of the two houses of the VA legislature due to remapping of districts, and continued demographic change. That will mean the Democrats will control the legislature and all the state wide offices. Hopefully I can last long enough here before VA becomes another California.

Because destroying a country doesn’t come cheap! *SPIT*

Northam and his fellow demons are aiming for exactly that.

A friend of mine saw the writing on the wall and got the hell out of Virginia last year, and moved to South Carolina.

Well, West Virginia broke away in 1863. Is there any reason why the DC suburbs and coastal Virginia couldn’t be left behind in their own mini People’s Republic?

Don’t give up on Virginia yet! Donald Trump could come in and talk about the hypocracy of racism and metoo when it comes to VA’s leading democrats.

Yes. The Constitution says that no state may be created out of portions of another state without that state's consent. In the case of West Virginia there was a loophole because Virginia had left the United States to join the Confederacy. After the war when they wanted to re-enter the Union it was granted only on condition that they first give their consent to the separation of West Virginia.

That set of circumstances is unlikely to repeat.

We can’t keep running. America is the last outpost and we have nowhere left to go. The colonizers can always return to their countries but we can’t. This is being done to us just like it’s being done to the Euros. It’s a plan to destroy Western civilization that has been in the works for years and out politicians and bureaucrats are only to happy to go along with it. We have been trained by the constant bombardment of propaganda from all forms of media to be docile in the face of extinction.

We have been flooded with people from the northeast and illegal aliens from south of the US border.
They are ruining what was once a great place to live.

South Carolina only elects Cheap Labor Express stooges so it’s only a matter of time before they get that amnesty that will complete the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

I live in Northern Illinois. I’m 68, and I’m not going to leave what has become my home; I have too much time and money and sweat and memories invested. Since I do not believe in surrenders, I will make my last stand here.

The DC suburbs of Northern Virginia are the problem.

A civil war is unlikely to repeat? Only if our people roll over and accept the top-down tyranny which the left has in mind for us.

It is the urban areas of every state that control voting results. People become lemmings.

I live in Manassas, in the 50th House district; two years ago, the 12 year GOP incumbent lost in a blue wave to a 30 year old ex-Marine named Lee Carter, who is a Bernie Sanders disciple.

The GOP has a strong candidate, Manassas alderman Ian Lovejoy, who was the only member of the GOP to survive the last city election. I don’t see any evidence that national ‘Rats have dumped money here. The 51st district, immediately south of here, seems to be active, as a very nasty ‘Rat named Hala Ayala knocked off an ex-military good guy named Rich Anderson who had been in the legislature for more than a decade; they are having a rematch.

We also have the fruitcake Dan Roem, a/k/a Danica Roem, in the 49th district (Manassas Park and northern Prince William); he/she was a zero in the legislature; let’s hope the people there wake up and vote in the GOP opponent, Kelly McGinn.

The action in the state senate appears to be in the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th districts; 10-12 are in the Richmond area; the 13th is mostly Loudoun with a portion of Prince William. All these are held by the GOP; the ‘Rats could take two of them, and if they do they will win control of the Senate.

Cankles won VA by 212,000 votes.

That means you only need a “flip factor” of 111,000 votes for Trump to win the state. But these legislative districts are different. They are heavily weighted toward local issues and personalities.
