Transgender woman beats 13-term incumbent who authored bathroom-ban bill and referred to her as 'him' much of the campaign (but she would rather talk about rush hour traffic)

Democrat Danica Roem of Virginia, a former journalist, makes history as the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state legislature

She defeated 13-term incumbent Bob Marshall, who has been in the legislature since 1992 and authored the state's anti-trans bathroom-ban bill

Roem focused on jobs, schools and, with particular fervor, northern Virginia's traffic congestion in her campaign She lives with her boyfriend, who she has not named, and his 9-year-old child whom she considers her stepdaughter. 'He'll be one of my constituents and I'm not going to attack my constituents,' said Roem after her win Andrea Jenkins became the first openly trans woman of color elected to the city council of a major city when she was elected to represent Ward 8 of Minneapolis

Democrat Danica Roem, a former journalist, is set to make history as the first openly transgender person elected and seated in a state legislature in the United States.

She unseated Republican Del. Bob Marshall, a 13-term incumbent and socially conservative lawmaker who proudly called himself Virginia's 'chief homophobe.'

Roem, 33, openly discussed her gender identity during her campaign, but it was far from her focus.

Instead, she focused on jobs, schools and, with particular fervor, northern Virginia's traffic congestion.

Marshall meanwhile spent the entire campaign referring to Roem as 'him,' but after her win she refused to attack her opponent, saying: 'He'll be one of my constituents and I'm not going to attack my constituents.'

“On the campaign trail, Marshall and other Republicans repeatedly misidentified Roem’s gender’

No, they didn’t. They repeatedly told the truth. Truth is something that Democrats don’t even know via a passing acquaintance. I wish TRUTH would come back in vogue. TRUTH has taken a major hit over the last 8 years. Pray for our country (and other countries who follow the Democrat lead)

In the old days, we called them transvestites.

Hmm no the sinful, corrupt American people are the root cause as they have turned their backs on God and he has turned a deaf ear to their cries..

So was Michigan and Wisconsin supposedly.

We just actually made a damn effort to turn our state s around instead of crawling into the corner like little bitches.

Va conservatives can lay off the whining. I thought southerers were supposed to be the tough ones?

Hell after last November, the SJW left showed more backbone.

Note that while she “didn’t make it a part of her campaign”, it’s all she’s known for now that she won.

+1. Also, look at the election NUMBERS. Trump got about 700,000 more votes last year than Ed G got.

Ed G didn’t work hard enough to get those votes. If he had gotten maybe only 60 or 70% of them, he would have won.

Read the verse. GOD only addresses His people. The church has turned a blind eye to sin, no longer is salt and light to the nation.

Here's what I think most people are missing in all this (including Rush, who I'm listening to at this very moment.) First, Democrats once again seem hell bent on electing the "first" of some special cut-out group of theirs to a prominent office. In this case, the Democrats managed to get a transsexual (born & a genetic male, "identifies as a woman") to office. They think they're proving a point somehow and using this specific case as a repudiation of not only President Trump, anyone who agrees with him/voted for him too.

Second - This isn't even a mid-term election. It's a special election and for all intents and purposes a one-off that doesn't mean jack shit. It's freaking Virginia for crying out loud, a blue state with a well organized Democrat machine that has zero issues in fomenting vote fraud.

Third, Virginia is the "home of the swamp." How many Never Trumpers from both political parties that infest our Government live there and gladly voted for the transsexual as a slap at President Trump?

C'mon folks, this is a non-event. The mid-terms are going to be a completely different story than this. The fact that not a single polling organization would predict Gillespie to win despite showing him as the leader going into yesterday I think speaks volumes.

None of the pollsters know how to gauge the electorate anymore and one state, Virginia does not a trend make. If the Democrats want to believe it does, I say we let them believe that all the way up to the mid-term elections next November.

United States and be compared to Babylon in many respects...Psalm 9:17 comes to mind ..”The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Every nation will be judged in its proper time and America’s time has come. And since God has promised to warn you before it happens— this is your warning!

Yep. The question is: how much land will the locusts have to devour before Christians get serious about repentance and prayer? It’s time the pastors lead the charge-Joel 2:17.
