Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYes, but if they win the governorship in Virginia then the narrative will be "Forget about everything that has happened before. This is the for-real-no-fooling referendum against Trump which proves that voters nationwide are turning their back on him and want him impeached!"The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The Democrats won all positions in Virginia and New Jersey by solid margins.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:
go with the flow the river knows . . .

I do not know, therefore everything is in pencil.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAre Democrats trying to lose Virginia's governor's race?
With only one exception, the party that holds the presidency has lost the Virginia governor's race since 1977. That exception happened in 2013, leading to all five statewide offices being held by Democrats; it seemed to many that Virginia's growing blue population had stopped the historical trend. In 2017, both history and demographics would point to a Democratic victory in the three statewide offices and in House of Delegates races, but something strange is happening in Virginia.
The Virginia Democratic Party is blowing their shot in spectacular fashion — culminating in printing literature which excluded their black lieutenant governor nominee, sending mail comparing Republican gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie to white supremacists in Charlottesville, and even comparing a Latina Republican House of Delegates candidate to a ravenous dog and the Halloween character Jason. Now, a Hampton University poll has Republican nominee Ed Gillespie winning by 8 percent going into the last two weeks.
But things were unraveling, even before this....
...While few gave Gillespie and the GOP ticket a chance a couple weeks ago, Democrats' errors on top of errors could lead to a November surprise.
