Do Virginians have something against a strong BLACK woman?

She’s a bad candidate and she is not polling well. She looks to me like a designated loser a la rinopublican skullduggery. She also has a history of being critical of Trump.

If she’s a Republican or a conservative, obviously yes.

She is not a designated loser. She’s running because right now she is Lt Gov.

VA is barely more reliable than CO, but it nearly always votes Democrat for governor when a Republican is in the White House.

Wait! I’m confused. They don’t consider Lt Gov Earle-Sears a female?

“””They don’t consider Lt Gov Earle-Sears a female?””

They can’t tell what a female is.

“Earle-Sears ran unopposed in the GOP primary. She celebrated the moment her nomination became official with a campaign rally in Richmond on Tuesday, June 17.”

Unopposed in the primary and down in the polls. Why didn’t our bless-their-hearts republican party field another candidate, a better candidate?

I know nothing of the internal operations of Virginia politics.

But it’s possible no other Republicans challenged her in the primary, because as lieutenant governor,, she was considered to have the inside track for the top job.

Everyone keeps saying ‘she’ but I don’t know which ‘she’ they are talking about. This whole thing is confusing to me, the black candidate, Winsome Earle-Sears, is a Republican? Against abortion and for gun rights and the white candidate, Abigail Spanberger ,is a Democrat, for abortion and against gun rights?

Virginia which from my recollection is more dem wants, a white candidate who
is a dem and hates Trump?

Sooo weird.

spamburger is a very strong candidate, there is a very very good chance she’d win.

sears is the lt.gov and no one else wanted to run because they know spamburger is running.

who knows if being black is a thing... but va was the first to elect a blAck governor, doug wilder.... i remember him well.

Winsome has already won statewide. She can win again. And I don’t care if she’s been critical of Trump. Independent thinkers are in short supply these days.

The CIA/Deep State has decided to just take over VA as a base of operations. It’s destined to be the Ukraine of the US.

Spanberger is CIA. And they at least mention it, whereas the media never does with Slotnik. But a left wing spook is their dream deal.

They heard she was a Marine and assumed she was a man.
