Republicans regained a bare majority in the House of Delegates on Wednesday, a day after losing a 32-seat advantage in a wave of Democratic victories that crashed from Northern Virginia through Richmond to Hampton Roads.
But the GOPs 51-49 margin is far from secure, as both parties prepare for weeks of vote recounts in at least four closely contested races that ultimately will decide the balance of power in the House.

I have little confidence that the Virginia GOP will fight to the last ditch like the Rats do routinely.

Establishment repubs like the DIMS winning. They continue as traitors to their electorate . What a bunch of uniparty bums...and losers.

Assembly ? Do they have a Senate? How much are republicans up or down in that house?
Gridlock is not a bad thing. Prevents more laws from being enacted.

Message to McConnell, Ryan and Sessions.
What "message" is that? That given a 32-seat advantage you can lose 30 seats and still [barely] have a majority?
That's not a message, that's just math.

"Message to McConnell, Ryan and Sessions."
That message might be that, with concerted effort, they can throw the entire government to the Uniparty and get rid of that troublesome Trump and silence those uppity voters who think they can select their government.

Three good, conservative HoD members lost. 13 RINOs lost. Of the four recounts that will probably be held, most are RINO.

I say no. The Dems ran an extremely high cost focused and targeted election. Number one issue - health care.

Why do we care if the GOP regains the House? Looking at the way VA is going, they are going to be in the minority very very soon anyways
