...Why do we think the Trump campaign is seizing on this opportunity to grab Virginia’s 13 Electoral College votes?
First, the polls are tightening. The most recent Judy Ford Watson Center for Public Policy (Christopher Newport University) poll has Biden with only a five-point lead on Trump among likely Virginia voters. It is a significant change from the double-digit lead Biden held in the spring and over the summer.
Second, the Trump campaign’s ground game and voter outreach is outclassing Biden’s. The Virginia Trump Victory effort has already been in contact with over 2.1 million voters via phone banking and door knocking, especially in the Northern Virginia suburbs. This is over half of Virginia’s voters and compares to a minimal effort by the Democrats this cycle. In 2016, Northern Virginia residents were besieged by mailings and union and liberal special interest groups undertaking extensive door-knocking campaigns for Hillary Clinton. Not this year. The Biden ground game and enthusiasm are a shell of Democrats’ historic efforts.
Third, President Trump has made real inroads with minority communities. Black voters make up one-fifth of the state’s electorate, and President Trump is moving the needle with Black (and Latino) male voters. As a Politico headline stated, “Biden’s weakness with Black and Latino men creates an opening for Trump.”...

I look forward to exploring that link later. Thanks for posting.
Bizarre... Now CNU is out. Biden wins leaners 14-1 despite independents slightly breaking to Trump.
I know a lot of folks in my area are outraged because of the new gun control laws. We’ll see if it has an effect on turnout for our side, the memory of the eligible voting public is about the same as for fruit flies in the 24 news cycle era...

I’m not sure about that Coop. It seems like 90% of the people where I live in Northern Virginia are batshit crazy. Biden signs everywhere.
And I bet you said the same about Nova HC signs in 2016.
True, but I think it is worse now. Especially in Arlington.
Fair enough. And I think Trump is stronger throughout VA, with no Johnson/McMullin “stealing” his votes and higher GOP approval ratings.
You remember meeting me on the metro in the 90’s going to an anti Clinton rally?
Scott Taylor is not well liked by anyone at the beach. He is a never Trumper pretending to be on-board with Trumpism. He is poorly thought of even in the military community.
Hey, appreciate the help! Elaine Luria should put you on her payroll, if you’re not already.
I do not, sorry.
“Thank God it was a good place, and improving. There is no way that I would raise a family here now.”
I know of at least one person with pretty deep roots there who is moving to Southwest as soon as possible. Probably a year.
I’m cautiously optimistic about November 3.
Great. Sarcasm to shut down honest discussion. Why I am rarely here anymore.... Probably should stop contributing 30 bucks a month since this site is populated by people get their panties in a wad if someone questions the official Republican narratives.
As for being on the payroll of the communists. No. Just because I happen to think Republicans have failed us does not mean I am sided with the communists. It just means I want better from those who call themselves ‘conservatives’ and that starts at the local level.
Sorry, guess I missed your post where u were supporting the GOP instead of trashing Taylor.
NP it was a long time ago. You were with wife or a lady friend that day.
Dear softengine,
Ley me introduce you to Bert and "Null and Void". They both love Indians, outsourcing American jobs and the H-1B visa. They can't get enough.
The “women’s marchers” are angry that Trump got... a woman on the USSC. Or is it that they are mad that he got confirmed a USSC Justice that’s a mother of 7 and shows their lies about working mothers are just that? Or is it that they’re bigoted and can’t stand that he got a conservative jurist there instead of their leftist icon RBG?
Yeah, it was almost a lifetime ago
