Corey Stewart: Virginia Election Was 'Rejection of the Failed Bush Wing'

Yup

[TBP]

The “electable” candidate will lose almost every time.

[Ceebass]

You’re correct. The dims ran the board from Gov to dogcatcher. Trump or no, the anti dims just don’t have the numbers to win Virginia anymore.

Corey Stewart has good attitude, and I support him, but I expect he’ll get slaughtered by timmy kaine in 2018.

[Bigg Red]

The more I hear of Corey Stewart the more I think I like him.

Seriously, in the case of Virginia, what is making that place lean Dem?

***
Answer:
1) Too many danged government swamp dwellers living there.
2) Voter fraud.

Complete repudiation of the Bushes and the GOPe’ers of the Swamp!

But will the Party leadership learn this lesson? That is unknown. Just look at some of the posts on this thread! So many saying things like "not buying it!"; "we don't need Virginia anyway"; etc.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

And who will do the slaughtering?

Answer: The Virginia GOP. Assuming that is, if they even let Corey get the nomination.

Felons can vote. NOVA has swamp and swamp supporting contractors. And NOVA’s Muslim population is growing. Also, millennials believe Socialism is the way to go.

they will run ed again.

Not buying it. The GOP got wiped out in the House of Delegates including a long time firebrand conservative in NoVa who lost to a T in LGBT. The demographic realities of the state have made the state bluer and bluer each election. The last time a GOPer won a statewide election was 2009.

Could the demographics of that district have changed so much that they went from voting for a staunch conservative like Marshall eleven times in a row to voting for a tranny? Is it possible that the down ticket folks were simply victims of the lack of enthusiasm for Gillespie? Voters focus on the governor's race. If Republican voters didn't care about Gillespie, it seems unlikely that they would have ventured out into the cold and rain just to vote for the down ballot folks even though they were good candidates.

Trump should convert his vineyard to subdivisions and move in a bunch of Republicans.

3) Too many Republicans like Ed Gillespie.

Cheap Labor Express Ed pulled it down for all Republicans in Virginia. But also it was due to a President's mid-term elections. Don't forget Reagan's mid-term election losses.

I'm sure of that. When will they ever learn?

>Is it possible that the down ticket folks were simply victims of the lack of enthusiasm for Gillespie? <

I’m wondering if the same folks who were turned off by Gillespie weren’t turned off by this ridiculous blockade of Trump’s agenda, in particular by the Senate. So, they stayed home.

My state rep (Greg Habeeb) won with essentially a landslide. The democrat opponent got trounced.

[unlearner]

“Though Stewart said Tuesday night that a fuller embrace of Trump’s agenda will help lead Virginia Republicans back to victory, it’s unclear how that strategy would play out in the only Southern state Trump lost last year.”

Virginia is “Southern” to those who use it as a pejorative term rather than a geographic location.

In what sense does politics from well over a century ago have any bearing today?

[central_va]

This assessment of the election from the Richmond Slimes-Pisspatch is surprisingly accurate.

[shanover]

NOVA is the utopian dream and the extension of DC Swamp.

[central_va]

Fine don’t agree and SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT.

[central_va]

The top of the ticket sucked. You Bush cucks out there with your Bushie worship are so f’ed up about this. Gellispe was a Bushbot candidate. Every knew that.
