We have indictments in the Mueller probe.

The point is that Virginia has hardly been a solid blue state for over a decade as MM suggested. Only 3 years ago it was solidly red with a republican Gov., Lt. Gov., Atty. Gen. and majorities in the House.

No it wasn't "solidly red". The last 10 governors show that. 3 Republicans and 7 Democrats.

Chuck Robb - Democratic

Gerald Baliles - Democratic

Douglas Wilder - Democratic

George Allen - Republican

Jim Gilmore - Republican

Mark Warner - Democratic

Tim Kaine - Democratic

Bob McDonnell - Republican

Terry McAuliffe - Democratic

Ralph Northam - Democratic

The fact is that the democrats won much bigger in Virginia than was expected, they not only held the Governorship, the Lt Governor, the Atty Gen. but they also flipped some 15-17 house seats held by republicans. No one expected that. Democrats also won big in N.J. and in just about every other election around the country including Montana, Washington State, N.Carolina etc etc. as well as a referendum on expansion of Medicaid in Maine. Yeah, definitely a referendum on Trump and republicans

House seats? what the heck are you talking about? The election was for Governor, Lt Governor, Attorney General and state legislators. As far as I know there were no House elections. Do you just make stuff up now? Or did I miss something?

And let's see:

Montana: Republican Greg Gianforte won House seat.

In fact here are the actual results after all of the 2017 races:

Governor and Senate:

House:

Not much change at all, Jimmy. not much of a referendum.

I like how Democrats are celebrating the fact that they can still win in a solidly blue state that hasn't tilted Republican in nearly a decade.

The point is that Virginia has hardly been a solid blue state for over a decade as MM suggested.

Something not quite right there...

Virginia hasn't had a Republican governor in 15 years and only two Republican Lieutenant Governors since 1978. Democrats have controlled both Senate seats since 2008 (just under a decade).

Bob McDonnell - Republican

Virginia hasn't had a Republican governor in 15 years...

Robert McDonnell seems to have been a politician of unusually broad appeal, having been both Republican and non-Republican at the same time.

It's Jimmy, so...
