Dang, you are right, Rubio is an amnesty pimp.
Can I put his dad on my list to bring it back up to three?

As long as we’re a somewhat free society (I’m not sure how much longer that will be) then there will be third party candidates. Even if the Democrats are funding all of them I wouldn’t want to try to stop it, there are enough threats to liberty coming from the Left.

To me the blame is 100% with the Republican establishment who betrayed this fine man and allowed Hillary Clinton to set up a command post for 2016 in the Virginia State House.
The GOPe might as well nominate Hillary as their presidential candidate.

Robert Sarvis is the reason for McAuliffe’s victory — and blaming anyone else is B.S.

Not blaming both Sarvis AND the RNC pulling out early is BS.

Blame the third party candidate, and recognize the democrats for funding him. Remember Ross Perot.

Yeah, let's just forget the fact that the prior gubernatorial election the GOP spent $9M+ on the campaign for their candidate, yet this time they could only spare $3M for a Conservative candidate. McAuliffe being able to outspend Cuccinelli 10 to 1 had absolutely nothing to do with it; it was ALL the third party candidate.

It is more important to the republican-e to put the Tea Party upstarts in their place than it is to save our country from Marxism.

Fascism, as exemplified by the banks, insurance companies, defence contractors, etc., is only one of the roads to Marxism.

But that is another subject.

The subject here is the republican-e, which has become as anti-American, as corrupt and back stabbing as any group you can name.

Again the way to victory in a vast nation of ideas is to build a coalition of minds that creates a majority. The GOP vs Tea Party vs Libertarians is a formula that the Democrats will spank around for years until some unity evolves on the behalf of those moderate to far right conservatives. It is a numbers game people... tactically the Democrats whip the cr*p out of the Republicans.

I think my reply will soon be “What difference does it make?”

Virginia is not “solidly republican” in statewide or national elections and has not been for some time. Obama won Virginia, te two senators from Virginia are dems. Virginia is like America, they rack up votes in urban counties because urban voters are bigots dependent on government. Virginia is a microcosm of America. Their House of Delegates is republican by a wide margin but the votes in the urban areas go 90%+ for dems and there are enough of those votes to win a majority of votes in the state. This stuff ain’t rocket science and it’s not going to change any time soon since more and more of urban America has as it’s husband government.

Sarvis is part of the reason.

RNC donations to the previous GOP gubernatorial candidate: $9M
RNC donations to the this year's GOP gubernatorial candidate: $3M

And I'm not sure if that $3M was for Cuccinelli, or all statewide candidates.

Priebus did make a token, last minute appearance, however.

He can go pound sand, with the rest of the Collaborators.
