So, how far was VA from switching anyway? Again, the high population centers get to control everything. I still say whoever has votes covering the most acreage should win. NV, despite some folks valiant efforts will probably never go back to red thanks to two counties.

I’m not versed in VA politics, but other than our President, the Republican party is asleep. No message. No voice. No platform. No agenda. No fight.

Pretty cheap. I’m thinking the Fed hiring of Obama was a bigger factor.

Dear Virginians, “If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

The gop slept while the democrats worked. The RNC has plenty of money to counter the democrats money but clearly they were not interested.

I know progressives don’t care about the Constitution (Federal and state)——but that should not matter. Whether Democrat or Republican it doesn’t matter if the “citizens” want BS common sense gun laws, we are a Constitutional representative republic....period!The oath of the politician is to the constitution and then the constituents. Meaning if it’s Unconstitutional, then your feelings, all the polls, etc do NOT matter. No more of this nonsense, these are the treasonous scum. BTW, here’s the VA constitution on firearms-—

“That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; …”

Chances are VERY high that a scumbag named George Soros had a stake in this.

The only way left to save Virginia is to drastically downsize the FedGov and carry out MASSIVE, MASSIVE FIRINGS of bureaucrats.

Not likely to happen in any of our lifetimes unfortunately.

There were millions of out of state dollars spent to oppose the NRA and GOP candidates in Virginia and that unfairly tipped races to Democrats.

In FR postings so far none have mentioned what voter turnouts were in those states having elections. Any analysis of the results which doesn’t include turnout is worthless when considering the impact on the 2020 potential result.

"Again, the high population centers get to control everything."

There is no doubt in my mind that every state needs the same kind of "electoral" system that we use in the Presidential election.. Each county weighted by its population..?? It would apply to anyone running for a state wide office...
