I just voted in SW Virginia. Rural area, goes usually about 58-42 for the good guys (or at least the less-evil guys). More cars than usual for off year elections but no real wait inside. This was about noon. I'd guess that it was half of 2016 (Trump), and about equal to when Cuccinelli lost a very close race without any establishment help in 2013 to McAuliffe. Although the Dems have an edge in VA now, I still think it is very winnable for Republicans. My hope is that we pull out a win in a close election. For those conservatives sitting out because Gillespie is kind of gutless, I know you won't listen but it still needs to be said. You are not helping.
GOP Inc loses, again. National Review is baffled.
Exactly, if you try the Roger Goodell mushy middle RINO strategy straight off of Karl Rove’s whiteboard, then you are going to lose!
If you are a man of real conviction, like Judge Moore, then your likelihood of suceess increases dramatically.
The era of politically finessing the middle is over!
Only men/women of real conviction should apply for running for office.
The Governor of VA is term limited to one 4 year term. That is the good news.
Virginia needs to split into two states... seriously.
How sad to see the leftward lurch of this beautiful state. :-(
Norhthan won this with what 3%?? And a sitting Dim Giv??Didn’t Killary win VA with 6%??
Trump didn’t even campaign for RINOgillespie. Only sent a few tweets.
Bwahahaha.
Next time GOP, don’t run a Never Trumper.
Try Running a non RINO and see what happens. A MAGA candidate would win.
Same for Colorado, I believe... both formerly Red States not too long ago. Not a good trend.
Northam will win by more than 3%. Try doubling it.
Look at the cucks in the crowd at Northam HQ! Disgusting.
Democrat state so no big loss.
Showed exactly the level of sleaze we can expect from Dems in upcoming races. KKKers driving trucks to run over black and Mexican children.
Ben Shapiro made a good point about the Romney loss. Romey message was Obama isn’t so bad of a guy but has bad economic policies. Democrat message was that Romney puts his dog in a cage on top of his car on a cross country trip, hates poor people, has binders of women, fired a worker with cancer murdering him and his family and is an evil amoral reedy bastard.
Gillespie wasn’t willing to fight the fight at the level we now have to fight it. Trump always kicked them in the nuts when they punched him in the face.
Exactly why we need to use the sex thing in Hollywood to take those bastards down. Clean up the CLinton criminal machine. Weaponize the IRS and the FBI and jail our enemies while we can.
And NV too? and soon AZ?
I agree. Unless somehow VA can split into two states: North Virginia and South Virginia.
Yeah, absolutely. Honestly, I couldn’t help but notice the huge number of middle eastern immigrants at the mall in Fairfax recently. It wasn’t like that several years ago.
Well, that’s twice now that Eddie lost. Lets hope he doesn’t run in 2018 and a solid candidate beats the Senator with the hinkey eyebrow.
He should have embraced Trump, brought him there for some rallies and generated some enthusiasm.
Stupid GOPe
WOW. That's horrendous.
Huge increase in Hispanic and Muslim population, increase in government employees, and tons of people moving here from blue states.
The Repukes still don’t get it. It’s not enough for Trump to endorse you. YOU have to endorse Trump.
Virginia going deep blue breaks my heart. What has happened to the Old Dominion? Even Virginia Beach is lost. But the numbers are fishy. I just checked my old precinct. It’s reporting 98% Northampton with no votes for Gillespie. How in the hell can that be?
