You do realize Virginia had a Republican governor just 4 years ago?

Does that matter now? Demographics have changed tremendously. Exactly the democrats plan.

The 2018 indicator is the Va House of Delegates.

.@abcpolitics:

"In Virginia, voters by a 2-1 margin said they were casting their ballot to show opposition to Trump rather than support for him. In New Jersey the margin was 3-1."

In 2014, Gillespie won Loudoun County (DC exurbs) by 456 votes.

He lost it today by 23,432 votes.

I know I'll regret asking....but what exactly is "the democrats plan"?

Everyone is more unpopular than ever

Poll: Views of Democratic Party hit lowest mark in 25 years

Favorable views of the Democratic Party have dropped to their lowest mark in more than a quarter century of polling, according to new numbers from a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Only 37% of Americans have a favorable opinion of Democrats, down from 44% in March of this year. A majority, 54%, have an unfavorable view, matching their highest mark in polls from CNN and SSRS, CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup stretching back to 1992.

This has got to be surprising to no one except homers.

Dear Pundit Friends, please stop attributing this D landslide in VA to "changing demographics". VA hasn't changed that much since last Nov. 8 (Hillary by 5%). The bigger explanation is a backlash to Trump and Trumpism, pure and simple. #VAGov

Alongside Democrat Ralph Northam’s much-wider-than-expected victory margin in Virginia’s critical gubernatorial race against Republican Ed Gillespie, Democrats have also scored shockingly huge gains in Virginia’s state House of Delegates. So far tonight, Team Blue has picked up an astounding 13 seats, with many gains coming in well-educated suburban seats where Donald Trump has proven toxic.

Oh please

Someone go bump all the obvious red state stuff that was close and you were so happy about barely winning

Interesting night across the board:

It'll be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out along with what may happen in the blue-color strongholds that went for Trump.

Largest margin of victory in Virginia gubernatorial race in 30+ years. "In 2014, Gillespie won Loudoun County by 456 votes. He lost it today by 23,432 votes."

GOP congressman from Virginia calls tonight's election "a referendum on the administration"

Just like when 2010 marked the end of Democrats and Obama, today too, marks the end of Republicans and Trump.

Headed in that direction. Wouldn't write the eulogy yet.
