Get ready for a monster-sized popcorn fest. Next week, Virginia voters go to the polls to elect a new governor, an election that Democrats expected to win handily just a few weeks ago. Ralph Northam would ride a big wave in northern Virginia as a rebuke to Donald Trump by painting Republican contender Ed Gillespie as a racist, ensuring an easy win on Tuesday.
Instead, Northam finds himself being painted as a racist — by his own ideological allies. Democracy for America, the activist group founded by Howard Dean, announced yesterday that they would refuse to support Northam for his remarks about sanctuary cities, calling them “gutless” and “morally debased.” They also attacked Northam for issuing literature aimed at the more conservative areas outside of NOVA that omitted his African-American running mate:
Fortunately for the Democrats, Quinnipiac has Northam leading by 17 points. LOL.
Lol there's no "rebuke" to Trump in VA. The state didn't go for Trump last year, and they STILL don't like him--or other Republicans who arent RINOs.
Gillespie will NOT win the governorship in VA. I don't even understand why some people continue to think this is a possibility in that very blue state.
trumpers will make up a story about how they never had a chance and VA is always blue...
but just a week or so ago they were all banging on about how they would crush the dems in VA..
where is that bravado now???
AG just went blue too....
and rural VA has moved blue too.... this strong win is going to weaken trump even more. Real Repubs can see that Trump has peaked, and they will be emboldened.
