This was more than Northern Virginia. The dims took the house of delegates. They ran the board practically everywhere.
Indeed it appears they did. This was a huge victory for the Left and gives them a huge shot in the arm going into 2018 - the demoralization they suffered from losing all of those special elections is now no more. They have real confidence they can win big in 2018. They gained seats in conservative districts with hard core leftists simply because the turnout of the Dem base was so high even where that base was much smaller than the GOP base. Apparently all of that “backlash” from those disgusting ads they ran didn’t actually exist.
Warning sign here: We need to get that tax reform passed and give the economy a huge boost going into 2018 or we could be in very real trouble even with a favorable Senate map and seats that should not be vulnerable will be vulnerable as well...many of those House of Delegates seats that were lost should have been automatic Republican holds. No seat is safe if what happened in Virginia is replicated in 2018 nationwide.
Many of us have been warning about losing the Republic within a generation if conservatives, Christians and traditionalists do not make an immediate exodus from the socialist factories aka pagan academies aka government schools. There is still time. Do it now, or continue being ignorant fools and standing by as the Republic circles the drain.
They have not taken the House of Delegates. There are several races where recounts are going to be done and the GOP will maintain its majority.
Exactly correct.
And as usual many, many Republican voters and conservative voters acted content with last year’s elections.
So often we see it happen and unless we put a sustained effort into politics we will continue to lose control after winning elections.
The in one and won and now done...we have to put a stop to it. We’re not the best community organizers and this is how it shows in losing sweeping off year elections.
The media now will tout this as a referendum against Trump. We have got to do better!
In fact, Northam did slightly worse in the first ring suburbs in Northern Virginia than McAuliffe did. Where did he do better? Literally everywhere else.
