He won’t win the state, but he might affect some congressional races in VA districts 6, 4 and 2. The northern part of VA rules the rest of the state with an iron fist, and what they say at election time goes.
EXACTLY! AND THIS EFFECTS NE NC *SAME MEDIA MARKET
Not always. Not long ago a Republican nearly took a US Senate seat.
Can’t remember his name. Polls said he was down double digits.... but he nearly won. All because of them trying to change the name of the Washington Redskins.
Pres. Trump won’t get NOVA, but if he can flip Norfolk/Hampton Roads he might get the state.
I think Trump could win Virginia this election for a coupe reasons, despite the fecklessness and perfidy of the state GOP. The VaGOP is simply the enemy of conservatives, more comfortable with table scraps from the communists than in actually representing Constitutional ideals. Such posture resulted in overwhelming apathy among likely GOP voters in the past few elections. It got so bad that senior state GOP party hacks actively supported Gov. Blackface McBabykiller rather than their own stalwart, Ken Cuccinelli. Those voters who sat out the last few elections just might come back to the polls in droves. Plus, the bat-crap-crazy communists did what communists do when taking control; they rule with an iron fist against the will of the people. In their push to disarm the populace with their crazy gun confiscation agenda they wakened a sleeping giant. My observation is that a huge cohort of 2A voters in VA were previously seduced by communists beginning with Mark Warner. Some portion of those votes will switch to Trump, if it is a large enough portion he can win the state.

Yes, Virginaia is about 20% black now and when they voted 93% for Hillary it gives them 18 to 2 lead in the race to 50%, that’s why Trumps out reach to African Americans and Hispanics is so important. People focus on white liberal and they are really just riding the votes of Blacks and Hispanics
