For sake of argument let’s say this “poll” is accurate. What could it mean?

My take would be that Virginia Dems are not comfortable at all with the far left Lunatics but, they are comfortable with Slow Joe.

They are likely, my momma was a democrat, my daddy was a democrat, my momma’s momma and dad were democrats, and my daddy’s family were democrats. I’m a democrat.

Do not discount this. It is a real thing.

And, they feel comfortable with Slow Joe. But, they do not like the Extreme policies of the other democrats.

If my supposition is accurate then the Trump Teams job in defeating Slow Joe in VA is crystal clear.

You hit on a key factor of Democratic politics in Virginia...there are two groups. There’s the urbanized Fairfax type Democratic voter who’d easily vote for a far-left agenda, and then there’s the south-of-Manassas Democratic voter who wants a working-class agenda without all the identity politics involved.

You can ask a hundred Democrats around Richmond about gun agendas, and more than two-thirds don’t want much done. If you get over to the far southwestern end of the state, and probably 95-percent of Democrats don’t want any extra gun laws put into place.

County-wise in 2016, Trump carried a two-to-one county advantage in the election. But Trump lost by 210,000 votes...most coming out of Fairfax, Richmond, Arlington, and the coastal region.

Slow Joe hasn’t exactly been moderate lately. If Biden makes it to the general I am sure President Trump will make his stated positions known to everybody.
