The state elected Terry McAuliffe, among the most unethical and slimy Democrats in politics today.
Thankfully, the good Commonwealth had enough sense to elect 67 Republicans to the 100-member House of Delegates so he will essentially accomplish nothing. I was fearful of the state losing its triple A credit rating (as we've seen our Federal Government lose its own top credit rating under a Democrat president), its place as one of the best states to do business and a great place to live, but thankfully, his agenda will be dead on arrival.

Even as someone leaning left, I can't stand McAuliffe.
I guess gone are the days when politicians worked togethor to govern, and are instead pushed by wingnuts to fight like caged animals while things fall apart around our heads.

The president is a great example of a politician who works well with others.

Just one of the many reasons I was more than happy to get out of Virginia. I may have grown up there, but no one can force me to stay there. I haven't been back there since I left and only plan on making a trip there this spring to show my wife where I grew up and take her to some historical things because that is the only good thing that state has going for it.

Having lived in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area for 17 years (though I no longer live there), I can tell you that Virginia has a limited choice in good options when it comes to politicians.
It's an okay place to live and I make it a point to visit my friends every year, but I'm glad I moved out of that state. There's so much more to see in the CONUS (Continental United States) and a lot more culture to experience elsewhere.
