How can you call the VA race?

Democrat Ralph Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie in the Virginia governor race on Tuesday, according to an NBC News projection.
With 65 percent of the vote in, Northam had 51 percent and Gillespie trailed with 48 percent.

I wouldn't really think most people would vote for a Governor based on the President since they do different things... does not really seem rational to be so stuck in partisan politics to automatically vote for someone because you do or do not support Trump. I also think the two positions have very different influences and roles, which means there would not really be that much policy overlap, I would think. It would be considered in a situational and contextual basis as to whether someone running for Governor has the right background and experience to hold that position, and while it may factor in whether that person has the good/bad sense to support the President (whichever) there seem to be more important issues on the state level.

I would think.

Bullshit. Gillespie is an establishment republican, who refused to embrace Pres.Trump, in a decidedly blue state, and Cristie torpedoed New Jersey.

The POINT is that the DNC has managed to BARELY (in Virginia) win 2 out of 7 special elections since Pres.Trump took office. 2/7, is no kind of "mandate". 33 to 16 governorships and 32 totally controlled state legislatures, elected to govern over 60% of the nation's population, IS, however.

No rational person wants one party in control of all elected positions in our country. I have no problem with Democrats winning more elected positions right now since their numbers have dramatically declined as this restores in theory balance in our system.

Hopefully after this, Democrats and Republicans actually do the work to restore the faith lost to both parties by understanding that the promises they make to get them elected must be followed by their actions.

Not at all, Who was it that first used the Nuclear option to prevent debate and filibusters? The Dems. Who because they were unwilling to compromise, ruled by the pen with EX Orders trying to make laws from the Whitehouse? It was not a Republican that sat there.
The problem with your rant is the same thing has happened for at least the last 8 years but you agreed with it so it was all good, now you are seeing what the other side saw.
There was compromise in those 8 years just not enough of it on either side.

I am not a republican, I vote for whom I feel is the best choice, the past several years it has been the lesser of 2 bad choices. I have voted for Republicans, Democrats and a couple other parties in a few elections, locally I vote for many independents.

No it is not I live in a very Republican county that boasts one of the fastest growing areas in the state both in population and in economic growth. I do not think we have a single democrat in county office. Our village council is non partisan as is our Mayor. We do have a Libertarian as a County Officer I think, we used to I know, like Clerk of Courts.
That is not where I grew up though, I grew up in the home of a former coal miner, turned factory worker, life long union worker (my father), solidly democrat household, Both of my Grandfathers were coal miners, one self educated to be an electrical engineer and UAW member in Michigan, the other became a preacher, both as Democrat as they come up to the day that they passed.
When I was 18 I registered to vote as a Democrat, and voted leaning that way, but I also was in the Army, lot more conservative thinking in the military, it gave me a little different view of the world. Eventually I saw that somewhere in the middle is what I thought was right, I have been registered as a Democrat or Republican at different times ever since. In Ohio we have closed primaries so you have to declare which side you want to vote for, I have switched many times depending on what person I was supporting.


In my opinion, that is how we all should be, one side is not always right, it takes a mix.

There Was Another Winner Tuesday — Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/there-was-another-winner-tuesday-obamacare-n819031


WASHINGTON — Barack Obama may not be running for anything these days, but his signature health care law was a big winner in Tuesday’s elections, as voters rebelled against Republican lawmakers who have blocked Obamacare's Medicaid expansion.

Democrats are hopeful their victories are a harbinger of further gains as they look to capitalize on the law's rising popularity in polls — and repeal legislation's deep unpopularity — with more ballot initiatives, legislative efforts and campaign messages.

In Maine, voters passed a ballot initiative that would expand Medicaid to an estimated 70,000 residents by a margin of 18 points, 59-to-41, doing an end run around Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican who has vetoed five bills to do so.

How a transgender journalist beat Virginia's 'chief homophobe'

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/08/politics/danica-roem-virginia-transgender/index.html

On Tuesday night in Virginia, former journalist Danica Roem, a Democrat, knocked off 13-term Republican state Del. Bob Marshall (http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/07/politics/danica-roem-virginia-transgender/index.html).


Roem's win quickly became a huge national news story as she became the first openly transgender person elected and seated to a state legislature in the US.


What's more, her victory came against Marshall, who has called himself the state's 'chief homophobe.'

GOP = 32 State Legislatures, BOTH HOUSES; 17 with VETO-PROOF MAJORITIES, representing over 60% of the US population. GOP =33 Governors vs 16 dems.


The GOP has won ALL FOUR NATIONAL OFFICE SPECIAL ELECTIONS since Pres. Trump's taking office, as well.You're utterly clueless ... you just witnessed citizen-activism not seen since the Viet Nam War ... here, you witnessed nobodys' unseating long-term incumbents ... and against Trump ... including all the "Trump Counties' ...


The writing is on the wall my friend ..

No it is not I live in a very Republican county that boasts one of the fastest growing areas in the state both in population and in economic growth. I do not think we have a single democrat in county office. Our village council is non partisan as is our Mayor. We do have a Libertarian as a County Officer I think, we used to I know, like Clerk of Courts.
That is not where I grew up though, I grew up in the home of a former coal miner, turned factory worker, life long union worker (my father), solidly democrat household, Both of my Grandfathers were coal miners, one self educated to be an electrical engineer and UAW member in Michigan, the other became a preacher, both as Democrat as they come up to the day that they passed.
When I was 18 I registered to vote as a Democrat, and voted leaning that way, but I also was in the Army, lot more conservative thinking in the military, it gave me a little different view of the world. Eventually I saw that somewhere in the middle is what I thought was right, I have been registered as a Democrat or Republican at different times ever since. In Ohio we have closed primaries so you have to declare which side you want to vote for, I have switched many times depending on what person I was supporting.


In my opinion, that is how we all should be, one side is not always right, it takes a mix.
One side decided to s*** on people like me a long time ago, and has ever since. So no- sorry, never will I ever be a Republican.

Well it is sad that you act out in anger rather than using logic to determine the best path forward, BUT this is the US you have every right to do that. Just keep in mind Socialist countries do not have a very good track record with diversity.......

I'm still trying to figure out why the partisan Democrats think that there's some national swing in their direction over them winning some elections which they were assured of winning.

How was this an example of extraordinary citizen activism or a referendum on Trump when Virginia replaced a Democrat governor with another Democrat and another state elected a Democrat where a Republican never had a chance? And in places Trump lost in 2016?


What writing is on the wall? Actually, the liberal anaysis of these elections is off the wall.

Yeah, and the four out of four NATIONAL OFFICE GOP SPECIAL ELECTION WINS since Pres. Trump's election "are local politics".

The demleft is hilarious to watch and listen to.
Trump's election was the greatest citizen activism since Andrew Jackson.

The "massively successful" DNC you keep deluding about has the LEAST POLITCAL POWER they have had since 1931, even after the elections on Tuesday.


Speaking of "clueless".


We see that the FACTS send you into a foamy-mouthed frenzy, as usual.
