Corey Stewart does divide -- but like Trump, can conquer

Corey Stewart, Virginia’s voter-chosen Republican to fight for Democrat Tim Kaine’s U.S. Senate seat, is a divisive guy who calls it like it is, cares little for political correctness and who finds himself in frequent defensive stand-offs with a hostile press.

In other words, he has a really good chance of winning this November.

But all that, in this political climate, means zero-to-nothing.

Stewart’s a guy whose entire political career with the Board of Supervisors in Prince William County, Virginia, has stirred pots of controversy. For instance: He was the face of hate to the left during the widely reported, widely watched fight over 287(g), the program the county implemented years ago to crack down on illegal immigration in the community.

When pro-immigrant groups led by far-left politicos banded and bused in hundreds from out-of-county, even out-of-state, to protest the program, Stewart — along with his fellow 287(g) supporters on the board — stood strong and made clear the battle was about law and order and life and death, and that the good men and women of Prince William were sick and tired of illegals killing their law-abiding citizen-friends.

You can see where the left would go nuts with that. You can’t see why Republicans wouldn’t respect that. Regardless, recall — that’s exactly the message that pushed Trump to the head of the pack during campaign days. Kate Steinle, anyone?

Now comes Stewart, hated by the press, hated by the left, hated by many of his own party — speaking politically incorrect rhetoric that revolves around a single core message, America First. Make that, a winning core message of America First.

A Catholic nun was killed in an auto accident caused by an illegal during his tenure. The county’s demographics, however, have changed since then with ever more left-leaning government employees moving into Prince William County.

VA elected George Allen in 2000 and gave its EVs to GWB who everyone thought was more conservative than his dad. By 2006 everything switched with massive immigration, esp from the ME.

The book of Judges doesn’t read that way.
