OBAMA INVADED THE SOUTHERN STATES WITH ILLEGALS AND SYRIANS, ETC!

FOR FUCKS SAKE THE LAST FIVE PRESIDENTS GAVE LOST NJ AND VA IN YEAR ONE. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS.

1. NOTHING WRONG

I heard that guy isn't even American

district 94 will flip to Dem

cap this

More Washington D.C. filth moved in.
Happens everytime, everywhere.
Rich liberals flee their high-tax, high-crime, failing-schools urban shitholes, move out into clean, low-tax, Republican land, then immediately vote for the same corrupt morons who cause the problems they ran away from.

Voter fraud. The election commission is already checking results.

>n-nothing is wrong
You were saying?

Then why are liberal areas (northeast, west coast) better places to live?

...

That would make it 51-47 (with 2 likely Republican seats)

BLUE
WAVE

...

Feels good man.

Because they were Republican for decades, duh.
It takes a while for Democrats to despoil and bankrupt the place.

Northern transplants. It's an internal migrant crisis. Eastern Virginia is culturally a northern state now.

Shit i have no neighbors even close to me by at least 1/2 mile. Who wants a shitty little apt when you can have acres and acres of woods. Quiet , peaceful, and no brown people.

...

>for decades
debateable maybe between 80s to early 2000s but even then there was a sizeable liberal majority.

the elephant in the room is that cities, for all their liburlizm and scracy black people are better places to live and rural towns are dying there is a reason why people move out of rural areas into the cities and I think republicans should stop ignoring the elephant in the room, i.e. the death and destruction of the white rural towns.

cities can come much later.

States with lower population density have far higher suicide rates.

Sounds like a shitty place to live.

You must be getting some bad info. Stay in the urban area please. We do not like stupid people that like to complicate life with studies and gender pronouns.

Trump happened, he'll be the death of your party

...

Is that kind of city life supposed to look appealing?

Because Virginia is better categorizes as a mid Atlantic state than a southern state these days.

As for why the flip. it was all gerrymandering so even if a wave like 17' happened a few years ago, Republicans could tank it because the voting blocs for each district didn't dissolve enough from people moving.


Also Republicans are on the losing side of issues, healthcare, guns, etc. And Trump, hurts them a lot because it shows that Republicans cannot run on his platform of bigotry, racism and militant nationalism and expect to get a large enough slice of the electoral pie when the Democrats run someone better than a dead fish like Clinton.

Look at the election data, Gillespie managed to keep Trump's base of poor, uneducated, rural white voters by over 74% with his race baiting campaign. The problem is he alienated just about every other group doing that in a naive belief he could pull off triangulation where he could run as a racist in the western part of the state and appeal as a moderate republican in the northeast. Gillespie got destroyed in those suburban communities he needed to put a dent in to have a even a slight chance of winning.

What makes it worse is the down ticket house races where the Democrats are posed to either have a tie, or will take the house, after have a 17 seat minority. And they ran a rainbow coalition against the Republicans. Including a few huge upsets like a transgender woman who ran against Sup Forums if he were a politician and was more christfaggy than nazi.

National House Republicans in any marginally at risk district around the country are going to be shitting themselves and consider retiring than risk getting blown out in the coming wave. Democrats now have issues they can run on rather than getting baiting into playing reactionary to Trump's racism, and the democrats are going to get stronger candidates since the rag tag group they fielded for the Virginia state house did better than anyone's imagination.

HAPPENING

The repubs that are retiring have been given the choice to by Mueller due to the scandals uncovered by his team colluding with the Dems and Russia / Iran /nk

>Virginians come out hard against Trump in 2016
>They do the same in 2017
VA is cuckservative central, they always hated Trump.

Virginia always goes against the presiden't party. It just is that way.

The data doesn't lie

The 5 states with the highest suicide rates (Montana, Alaska, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Idaho) are ranked #48, #50, #45, #49, and #44 in population density.

The 5 states with the lowest suicide rates (New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland) are ranked #7, #3, #1, #4, and #5 in population density.

>t. Tom Perez
Lol 2018 is such a favorable map for republicans it's not even funny. Enjoy defending Democratic senators in Montana, West Virginia, Indiana, and North Dakota against Trumpism.

rural freaks btfo

All high crime rate cities. I wonder if people are shot before they can shoot themselves.
Did you collect the data or are you stupid enough to believe anything written or said?

That's because areas with lower population density generally have a higher proportion of whites, who kill themselves more frequently.

Cities contain minorities who pull the suicide rate down because they lack the self-awareness or introspective capability to even consider suicide.

Enjoying losing Arizona x2 and Nevada

Northern Virginia is a shit hole. Full of swamp creatures and MS13. Just like the parts of Maryland that border DC.

LOL, keep telling yourself that after reading the hand crafted propaganda you're being fed.

Speaking of Trump, he's really put the Republicans in a bind now after proving he's loyal to no one when he immediately threw Gillespie under the bus. Yes, you can claim Gillespie didn't want Trump there, but Gillespie did run on Trump's platform of race baiting bigotry, Trump used his Twitter platform to help Gillespie and he recorded a robot call for him for election day.

So the message to Republicans are, Trump will only support you if you win, afterwards he'll treat you like a democrat if you can't pull it out. Now, Sup Forumslutiants will go 'who needs losers in the party? Trump is purging dah swamp!' Well my naive friend, you need to have members of your party have confidence that Trump will have their back, he's thrown the last two candidates he's openly supported who lost under the bus. So why would you want to look to him for help if he's going to shit on you if things don't go as planned?

Furthermore from the talking points and the fact that gerrymanding has a lot of Republicans fending off primaries from the right, they're forced to stick to Trump instead of trying to cut him off. Hence why you see calls that they need to be more extreme and racist in future elections.

Unless the Russians are willing to risk open war by getting into the election systems of states and altering the results. The Trump coalition is not sustainable for the midterms, especially since it's partly kept together by his cult of personality.

I wouldn't hold my breath, the closest bell weather we have is Montana and the special election held there. Trump won the state by 21 points. The Republican's successor only inked out a 6 point victory over a democrat who got zero support from the DNC, DCCC, and was tar and feathered early on in a character assassination campaign by the Republicans. That was a 15 point swing before Trump really started fucking up.

Richard Spencer happened.

You actually believed the results. Fact you have been lied to. Very few Americans supported Clinton, and results were cooked to try to save the Dem party. She did not get more popular votes. It was just cooked up lies by the globalist MSM.

Virginia and New Jersey are no Ohio I'm afraid. We'll see how the Democrats fair when they have to leave the Acela Corridor to compete in elections.

Also, that's the Senate, the Dems just need to win the House to make Trump's life a living hell assuming Republicans don't turn on him in act of self preservation and decide to serve their country over their owners because of the treason and obstruction of justice Trump did.

Dems need 24 seats to retake the house. And there's 24 districts that Clinton won but still voted for their Republican rep. Add on the logistical nightmares of dealing with retiring reps who take their campaign system with them.

If Trump and the Republicans pass their tax hike on the poor and middle class. [It repeals and phases out property tax waivers along with claiming some dependent along with others, which means you pay more.] Expect shit to really hit the fan.

Fake politics. No one would vote for a Tranny. Voting was always a ruse, but if you can't tell after a tranny got elected then nothing will get through to you.

Its not a tax hike on poor and middle class. Its the end of the tax return check. Read...... stop listening to MSM.

There's also ~12 districts that Trump won that Clinton lost, Republicans are outraising Democrats, and party registration advantages keep skewing Republican even in Southwestern states like Arizona or NM. Nothing is in the bag, we have a ball game to play.

Which leads to higher taxes because you can no longer claim a waiver, ergo a tax hike.

Thank you playing Heritage Foundation drone, especially when Republicans in blue states get annihilated over this plan if it does pass.

That assumes they remain loyal, especially after the Republican's shitty governance. This ballgame is for the democrats to lose now depending on how much more Trump fucks up.

What in the fuck are you talking about you dumb nigger? California, Oregon, and Washington are LOSING people. California's only growth is through illegal immigrants and soon all tax paying residents will either get out or go broke.

Democrats have a regional mentality which prevents them from understanding Heartland elites because they have very different interests than Bicoastal elites. Meaning, College educated folk in MI are very different than college educated folk in NY. Democrats are utterly alienating elites in heartland states with their globalist policies, which is what caused the Trump rebellion in the first place (Remember. ~2/3rds of the Tax base went for Trump.) Nothing has fundamentally changed, although the Left expects the Heartland to share their outrage.

You do understand millions of Americans get back large tax returns, yet never work a day. Thats not a tax hike. That is just the end to milking middle class voters. Explain to me how a welfare queen with 3 kids gets back $9000.00 return but does not have a job.

Or, if you aren't smart enough to get what's going on, Dixie elites are rebelling against Yankee elites by utilizing low-skill immigrant voters as a proxy for Yankee Elite interests. It's not going to end well for this nation in the long term, however.

This is your future, by the way, if you are a Dem. No amount of chicanery is going to stem the Red Tide come 2020. If Neoliberals can't control Brazil, they sure as shit can't control America.

>Anecdotal evidence
Hmmmm, this bait looks delicious. Enjoy your tax hike friendo.

Actually the same issues resonate in areas that Democrats need to win only by turning out their base. Like health care and gun control, which were the two top issues for Virginia. Maine also passed a medicare expansion after the corporate hack of a governor vetoed it 5 times. Republicans picked off the scab of healthcare by fucking with it by shutting down high risk corridors and cutting off subsidies which is causing providers to leave markets and jack up their rates. And since it was Trump and the Republicans who did it, they'll be the ones to be blamed. Obviously it won't work in bumfuck red states, but Dems aren't looking to turn rural America into a blue ocean.

We should just destroy every Confederate statue, no reason to celebrate treason or being a loser. Otherwise in Trump world, you'd be putting up statues of Hillary Clinton everywhere if you don't want to be seen as hypocrites.

>Trump says he will drain the swamp
1) Virginia's top Republicans are all NeverTrump.
2) These top GOP are also dumb as rocks and take everything the MSM says as indisputable fact.
3) Virginia's residents in NOVA (and Hampton Roads) are, literally, the swamp.
= There is no Republican future in Virginia.

Mueller is draining the swamp. Not Trump. Trump is the swamp.

You know, you are right anything is better as a working person than watching welfare niggers cash big checks that come from my earnings.

Nice blog post faggot

Has trump gotten mexico to pay for the wall yet?

Russia commonly uses racist arguments to divide Americans.

Fun fact, Confederate statues are more popular among African Americans in general than actual Liberals. Nevertheless, your posts are extremely ignorant because you surround yourself with people from the Bi-Coastal corridor, and then project your peer group onto the population in general. IE: You listed Gun Control as a major issue. You know how fucking ignorant that position is in places like the South or the Rust Belt, IE: Places that you need to win. Doesn't even fly in Vermont.

Let's be real, the only places that are actually battleground are the wealthy suburbs like Handel's district or the Southwest. If Dems can't achieve victory in those wealthy suburbs or the Southwest, they have no chance to take the house. Beyond that, Dems are looking vulnerable in the Rust Belt at the gain of their opportunity in the Southwest. So we'll see how this game goes come election time. You may think it's all-in-the-bag, but seriously, there may be 25 house seats in the entire NATION that are vulnerable targets for Dems. Winning all 25 of them is not in the cards.

Russians utilize the opportunity that the American Left has given them. For all the intelligence that the American Left believes it has, it isn't smarter than the Right it disdains.

I did not know Russian's were democrats. Thank you for clarification.

>Russian's

good one vlad

God I've gotten so good at sniffing u filthy Ruskies out

I'm just a good ole WV hillbilly.

Legislative janitorial work isn't that appealing?

lol nice try

Suicidal tendencies are a defect. You can romanticize it if you wish but there is no up side.

>Its Russia's fault people hate blacks

Since you are trying so hard, you deserve a (you).
Try not to go insane in the next 7 years of Trump.

muh reds under the bed

go away mcarthy

Anyone who has lived in Virginia can tell you why this so called 'blue wave' is utter bullshit.

The entire Northern VA area is 100% a blue hivezone and a majority of leftists were lazy about politics during the Obama era. Now they show up. This isn't some blue wave, it's just finally out in the open how big Northern VA, aka rich Suburbs of DC, have gotten.

it will be 50/50

what's bothersome is how everyone has to run on a dem/rep ticket..

why no independents or other parties?

This, and I think they recently passed a law allowing felons to vote.

>Liberals commonly use racist arguments to divide Americans.
ftfy

Ah yes, the Republicans age old victimization.

You're welcome.


>Citation needed
I think you're underestimating the rust belt, especially after the Trump bubble bursts, or believe that more than 5 democrats seats will be at risk. Also, after Trump and Republicans keep fucking up, more than 25 seats will be in play. you overestimate your chances of holding onto the house. Especially with the downward spiral Trump is taking you.

Trump sucked.

Virginia got a massive amount of Democrats move in during Obama's term

This is basically Sup Forums right now

youtube.com/watch?v=LkCAuDcOk28

>Especially with the downward spiral Trump is taking you.

Defeat your own argument. How exactly is Trump taking down the Republican party in the Rust Belt?

I haven't really paid attention to these elections so I don't know the details, but I would imagine that republicucks cucking out on literally everything Trump has tried to do so far would piss off many republican voters. Like, whenever elections come around my state I am going to be doing some hard core research into all of the republicans that are running for whatever position.

The Republican's massive give away to the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class is going to devastate it. Unless you seriously believe the rich are going to magically invest all their new gained money they don't need into the rust belt. Also Trump's sabotaging the health care system will really hurt people in the pocket book.

Also you assume that Trump's race baiting will work beyond his base base. It didn't. Now imagine how well that works when you're in a state without statues to traitors.

Totally wrong, the death of the party are the republicucks. Trump is the best thing to happen to the republicans since Reagan, as cliche as that may sound.

Trump Republicans: Please please please vote for Gillespie so we can prove Democrats don't stand a chance of winning big in 2018.
Also Trump Republicans: I'm glad Gillespie lost, he was a libcuck and this race means nothing.

state legislature has nothing to do with Trump and the Republican congress

>The Republican's massive give away to the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class is going to devastate it.

First off, if you were smart, you'd realize that this is ironically DOA. Trump can't even give away to the Rich without the Left sabotaging him.

>Also Trump's sabotaging the health care system will really hurt people in the pocket book.

Not at all obvious, and inherent to Obamacare's deficiency. Can't run at that issue.

>Also you assume that Trump's race baiting will work beyond his base base. It didn't.

And you think Democrat Race-baiting is still doing you favors, huh?

3/10 arguments. You didn't even mention the real threat to 2018, which would be a surprise recession.

To be honest im glad he failed, maybe republicans will finally wake up after being asleep since before Watergate

>Trump can't even give away to the Rich without the Left sabotaging him.
Isn't that a good thing?

The middle/lower class should get tax cuts if you want to improve the economy, not the rich.

There are many more minorities than there were 2 years ago.

Why do you think democrats pander to them so much? They're actively replacing their constituents with low I.Q. mongrels who will vote blue every time for the gibs. Who needs popular policy when the welfare state effectively turns voters into slaves whose very survival depends on the state?

For the same reason Trump won. Fucking commie democrats screwed up the economy, all the jobs went away.

The Perfidy of the Trumpsters Knows no Bounds.

It's complicated user. The Rich gave millions to Trump on the condition he'd lower their taxes. He has to lower taxes on the Rich as part of the bargain. Don't like it? Nothing is free.

a blumpfy orange dumpfy

Virginans are based unlike Trumpcuck kike lovers.

Even in VA, white voters were 75% of the electorate. It's a more nuanced picture, because not all places are equal.

No, user. It's not okay to be white. You shouldn't show sympathy for hate! Let white rural Trump voters die painfully, because we're compassionate human beings and compassionate people are all about making matters worse for other humans.

>recucklicans actually believe this
Sad!

Northern Virginia is what happened.

They imported liberals and mexicans.

>Trump can't even give away to the Rich without the Left sabotaging him.
Except that's what he's doing by doing away with taxes for the rich like earned income tax and estate tax. Hell, just based off the few taxes Trump did release, he's posed to save over 15 million in taxes just off the one return he released if those taxes are repealed. So you've already proven to be a lair there.

>Not at all obvious, and inherent to Obamacare's deficiency. Can't run at that issue.
When you throw multiple bombs to destabilize the marketplace, you own it. Fun fact, if Republicans didn't sabotage Obamacare, it was actually stabilizing. Healthcare is a huge issue that Dems can and will run on now especially after what happened in Virginia and Maine and how Trump has caused premiums to skyrocket.

>Democrat race baiting
Actually Northam ran a positive campaign throughout, while Gillespie scrapped the bottom of the barrel going full negative running Trump ads saying Northam was going to let MS-13 rape and pillage the state and burn down all confederate monuments. Which you know the latter is something to pick a fight on after the white supremacist terrorist attack that murdered a protestor in Charlottesville.


Also still waiting for that citation.

I'll give you a Lair/1

Calling me a liar for having a contrary opinion? In NLP, that's a dangerous sign when engaging in discussion. The person accuses you of the crime that he needs you to be guilty of before he sentences the judgment....

Tax reform is dead. McCain and Cruz are against it. Obamacare is flawed, mandates in general are a flawed system. Finally, look at the Latino Victory Fund's demonization of Rural voters through blatant race-baiting or pay attention to how Social Justice pushes more people away than it brings them back.

I need to go to bed. So I'll let you have the last word.

ITT: assmad shitlibs trying desperately to believe that anyone but the gibsmedats and feminazis actually agrees with them.

For most of the election I hated trump until I saw that ad, and I thought holy shit Clinton is Satan. She wasn't sick when she passed out. A Demon entered her body and the secret service had to escort her away before she talked in her spooky evil voice. Thank god for Russia because without that ad I would never have seen the truth about Clinton.
