McAuliffe announces bid for second term as Virginia governor
The Hill ^ | 9 December 2020 | TAL AXELROD

Posted on 12/09/2020 8:33:54 AM PST by COBOL2Java

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) announced Wednesday he will jump into the race for his old job, shaking up an already crowded primary field.

McAuliffe, who served as Virginia’s chief executive from 2014-2018, officially launched his campaign in the state capital of Richmond, sending out an email to supporters ahead of an event in the state capital of Richmond in which he was expected to make the announcement.

Virginia is the only state in the country that bars governors from serving consecutive terms, and a McAuliffe victory would make him just the second Virginian since the Civil War to win a second stint as governor.

I wonder why they did not include Virginia in their lawsuits.

I think the constant expansion of the beltway brigade (govt and contractors) dependent on the fed budget puts Virginia in the Dem column solidly now.

He will get it too, if the vote-splitting “libertarian” (wink wink) FIX is in.

Northam is McAuliffe’s sock puppet.

Are you telling me that your Democrat “leadership” has not pissed off even a few Democrats - enough to throw the bastards out?

Here is how I responded to Mo: “Are you telling me that your Democrat “leadership” has not pissed off even a few Democrats - enough to throw the bastards out?”

I was born in Richmond; lived in VA through the 6th grade, and visit with my Doswell grade-school buddy and his wife several times a year.

Love Virginia!

Haven’t been able to abide your Democrats for quite some time, though!

He won’t stop me. He told the police to shelter in place in ‘17, because the fake white supremacists had—GASP!—ORGAN CHORD!—non-existent automatic weapons. OOOOOOOH! THE HORROR!

“the current lt.gov is a sex fiend.”

He is not. He’s black, you racist! Just getting even with whitey for the days when ol’ massa used to bend over Aunt Jemima and pour syrup on her pancakes.

Just what we need, again, a Clinton carpetbagger leftist egotistical maniac to further destroy what is left of the once great state of Virginia.

We were supposed to keep political criminals out of our politics, not elect them as governor, but that was the old days (about 12 years ago. How low we have sunk in Democrat/Marxist depravity and betrayal since.

Too bad he isn’t more like his WWII namesake “nuts” McAuliffe.

The vote is completely corrupted in Virginia....starting with McAuliffe who is now lining up for seconds

The Democrats do this..once they get a toehold anywhere ..”trending Blue” is a statement that a state is “progressing” in Electoral Fraud.

“Progressive” is a code word for that process ..as in the Democrat Party is a “progressive party”

Americans aren’t socialists...and no Democrat politician, for the most part , has ever won a clean election

The Democrats went for broke on voter fraud since the Reagan blowout of Mondale in 1984

Just MHO...

Virginia is paying a very high price for being a bedroom community of Swamp Headquarters.

Yep, Dems address it like a no holds barred street fight and the GOP elite discuss taking the high road at their cocktail parties. I wish Trump could do it on his own as his base can only do what they could... delivered record breaking number of votes.

Nowadays, he’ll win in a walk. Virginia is conquered territory.

Meanwhile the VA GOP is trying their best to make sure he wins

McAuliffe is going to be the least unacceptable option, since VA is out of reach for the GOP. Otherwise, we'll see the rapist Justin Fairfax in the governor's chair.

This must mean that McAuliffe was stiffed for a job in the Biden-Harris administration.

PS Is it true that 1.) VA used Dominion voting machines, and 2.) that there were in excess of 100,000 disputed votes on Nov 3?
