Give up two gain one is NOT a win!

Giving up two Dem-supporting RINOs to gain one real conservative IS a win.

I couldn't agree more. Maybe we'll have another Virginia Congressman that votes like Congressman Dave Brat instead of two (Forbes and Rigell) that vote against him and the People. And if Tom Garrett wins in the 5th CD - another one (instead of Hurt). The Virginia Congressional Delegation is on the verge of a huge trend the right way in a short time.

It is NOT a win because Forbes is not a RINO in any sense of the word. He is much more conservative than Trump and his ratings are stellar, plus he truly is honorable. The House will be less conservative when he goes.

See post # 10.

You are assuming that Randy Forbes is NOT a Conservative.

From what I have seen in my own congressional district: We had a solid Conservative Congressman. Nancy Pelosi targeted him and 9 other Congressional Conservatives for defeat in 2010. She hand selected a man to run against him. He was re-elected in spite of her efforts.

On the next election cycle Pelosi supported the same man for the defeat of our Conservative Congressman, except this time she had gerrymandered the district so as to insure the defeat of our Conservative Congressman. Even so the election was close. The challenger had lost, but demanded a recount.

You can guess the rest.....after several recounts (sic) the Democrat edged out the Conservative, they quit counting, and the Democrat was declared the winner.

A challenge to the Democrat fell short last cycle and though there was some evidence with vote tampering no challenge to the results was filed.

This cycle the incumbent Democrat is being challenged by the very popular local sheriff. We’ll see how well the Democrats cheat against the top cop of the county.
