In a Northern Va. swing district, will Trump be enough for Democrats to unseat Rep. Comstock?

I fear Dave Brat is on the chop block as well.

Can you imagine the social pressure in those Dem areas to vote Democrat? All of the intimidation tactics may have quieted Republicans but they cannot silence them at the polls. I am betting that many Democrats are sickened by the third world antics of the Dems and are concerned about the future of this country.

188%, that’s impressive.

Yes, they did. However, that was literally 11 months into Trump’s presidency and Democrat motivation was some 18 points higher at the time. We lost a lot of local election here in PA because Republicans got complacent and Dems weren’t-—the overall voting turnout was lower than normal but Dems still showed up. If Republicans turn out along with converted Dems it will be a Red landslide-—the keyword is IF.

Comstock refused to get on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.

Trying to meet the Democrats half-way in destroying the country is not a winning platform.

If you think NoVA is bad now wait until Jeff Bezos moves his show there and imports thousands of foreign and Millenial techies with San Francisco values.

Ms. Wexton represents a consortium of limousine liberals, Cadillac conservatives and silk stocking socialists - all of them globalist-neo-fascist-elitists to their dirty rotten cores. They’re control freak mentalists: dead from the neck down and really rather screw-loose from the neck up.

They already live in Northern VA - probably why he picked it.

Interesting to see barky campaigning today for Wexton & Kaine. These are supposed to be the easiest slam dunks for the rats tomorrow in House & Senate. So why is barky wasting time on these races?
3 possibilities suggest themselves to me:
1) rats are in much worse shape than the polls say,
2) barky is desperate to chalk up some wins and keep from being the kiss of death that he usually is.
3) barky just too lazy to leave VA.

Because tomorrow's forecast is for high winds and heavy thunder storms, not exactly snowflake weather.

Northern VA thru out a State Republican incumbent (in the same district) in 2017 and instead sent a Tranny to the VA House; they are B@+$h!t crazy right now and will probably throw out Comstock.

The 2017 Virginia election is what has me worried about tomorrow.

The entire state is red except for the tidewater and the VA suburbs of DC.

Then why is the current Governor a Democrat?
The previous Governor was also a Democrat.
The Attorney General is a Democrat.
Both US Senators are also Democrats?

.

Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads combined has only about 1/3 of the population.

A whole lot of somebodies in the other 2/3 of Virginia must be voting for all those Democrats!

If the Swamp was drained, these Swamp inhabitants would go back to the blue states they came from.
