She does have a chance, the gun issue has split the Democrats and they will cross over.

I agree - we’ll know more in November, if Trump can move the needle back to Red.

I’m no expert in Virginia politics, though my heart aches for the Old Dominion. I’ll offer the following from my experience in California: a lot of the blame for what has happened to us but the roots go back further and really t going with the hippie culture of the 60ms: Leftism is like a rust that eats away day and night. Starting in the late 60s they started capturing local offices, especially school boards. The politics changes behind the scenes steadily. This even while Reagan carried California twice, and we elected Wilson and Deukmejian a total of 16 years as governor, and a number of statewide offices. We even captured the Assembly once in the 90s thiough Willie Brown paid off a GOP traitor and got re-elected Speaker.
In the 80s even major counties such as Santa Clara were still Republican, not to mention Orange and San Diego counties. Then all of a sudden those decades of steady infiltration plus immigration paid off, and the rats ran more and more elections. Then they put in measures to lock in their controls, such as the leftist educational curriculum and jungle primary.

I could go on and on; this is only a quick overview.
My point is I don’t the groundwork hasn’t been done long enough or deep enough in Virginia ... yet. I think there’s still time to reverse course. Maybe not permanently, maybe a final blaze of freedom,
But I think it can be done in virginia
