McAuliffe’s top Priorities:
Bloomberg’s gun control measures
Expand Medicaid
Expand Obamacare
Relax abortion standards (no longer need a doctor)
Raise taxes
All of these are DOA in the legislature. TM doesn’t have the gravitas that Kaine and Warner had with Richmond. He’ll be a place holder until Hillary or the cops come to pick him up.
How will the media handle TM’s problems?
My memory of Virginia civics has faded, but I don’t think the governor in Virginia has nearly the executive power that a U.S. president has. I recall that the governor has some appointive powers (to various state boards, etc), but the legislature controls most everything of importance.
