VA had a primary March 1. Trump won, but not by much. Rubio was the Chosen that day, so won a lot of support in Northern VA where the GOPe live and play when not in DC. Today’s vote was for the ‘at large’ delegates.
There’s still a good bit of anger in VA’s Republican circles towards Trump for donating to McAuliffe in his gubernatorial race against then-AG Ken Cuccinelli who led the anti-Obamacare litigation to the SCOTUS. Long memories here. AND we in VA are stuck with McAuliffe who just restored rights to 206,000 felons who can now vote for Hillary in November. (I really don’t think the Trump donation swung the race one way or another, but still doesn’t help his standing with those who follow these things and who had a lot at stake in seeing Ken Cuccinelli win that election)
Even so, Cruz got just 17% of the vote in the Virginia primary, and finished a distant third to Trump and Rubio. But yes, I agree, McAuliffe is rotten, and always has been.
