Agreed. Virginia is a microcosm of the country, and it’s a must win in presidential elections for the GOP. The fact that it elected a corrupt slimeball like McAwful, even if it was a narrow margin, is a huge loss.
Yes, in terms of presidential elections, we may be in the wilderness for a couple of decades. We really need pro-secession governors in red states, but from the disaster result in the Alabama special election, looks like there are too many nimrods to allow it.
