Paladin of Ice Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 VA gov increasingly looks like it's going to Northam, the VA state positions are being swamped by Dems, they're also picking up mayoral positions in Charlottesvilla, in NH, NJ is already being slid over to Democrats at least for governor. Tonight is looking like a good night so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denstorebog Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Watching FOX so you don't have to: Their narrative is that Gillespie was clearly the underdog, and his mistake was being too wishy-washy in his Trumpism. He should have gone more full-steam ahead on that, and other Republicans should learn from that in the future. Also from FOX, in delightful irony: If Northam wins, is that proof that his pick-up truck ad and the over-the-top racism will be the Democratic playbook from now on?

Sivin Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So the fact that the LG and AG are getting a better percentage of the vote than Gillespie means moderate Republicans are backing off from Trumpism right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. See my post re: the FOX narrative above. Guys, seriously, listening to Tucker Carlson sneering and spitting out the unwelcome results is like a balm for the soul.

denstorebog Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Okay, I'm going to say this very carefully. But the way the returns are coming in, there's a very small chance that Dems take the house. They're ahead in some districts that went 4-6 for Trump. It's still a reach. But.

So we potentially do what ? Trade one dysfunctional political situation for another? The Democratic Party is not in whole lot better shape then the Republicans.

But I'm reading your comment in Tucker Carlson's current voice, which is "on the verge of tears". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
