INGERSOLL: Once Powerful Virginia Democrats Are Disintegrating, With National Implications
Daily Caller ^ | 5/7/26 | Geoffrey Ingersoll

We’re four months into Abigail Spanberger’s tenure as governor of Virginia, and things couldn’t be worse for Democrats’ rising star.

There’s a civil war in the party apparatus. The referendum to redraw the maps from a 6:5 Dem advantage to a 10:1 Dem advantage, thus giving the party an almost certain majority in the House, seems doomed to fail judicial review. Privately, the parties involved have been sniping each other.

It’s beginning to leak into the press.

Not as entertaining as tar and feathering maybe, but entertaining nonetheless.

Like Mamdani, she just lied her a$$ off, except in this case she did so to fool enough moderates into thinking she was one of them.

It worked again. Let's see if it still works this November.

The reported death of the DEM party always comes back to bite us in the rear. Just stop already.

A good way of getting rid of bad government is to strictly enforce it.

And the “10 to effing 1” trash may be headed for jail - or at least into a courtroom.

Wasn't Obama the "face" of this referendum? No doubt his wingman was somewhere in the shadows.

The arrogant Spamburglar thought she was a queen with unlimited power.
She is in the finding out stage.
Bet she has some interesting ties to Louise Lucas.

Bullied into going along with an illegal gerrymandering tells me that they are willing to take big risks out of desperation.
They knew it would likely be shot down but had to try anyway.
The democrats see this mid-term elections as an absolute MUST win, and in my opinion it is because they feel like they are about to lose on two related fronts: The slow reversal of the importation of (illegal) voters, and the changes in voting standards at the State level as well as potentially nationally.
