The idiot in chief immediately distanced himself from the losing Rupube, right after several days of tweets supporting him. Under the bus. When will they learn that he is loyal to no one?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

The densely populated areas of Virginia are far too educated and diverse to put up with the Dotard's bullshit.

Yup, the Dems had a good night in VA. Hardly big news, however, that a traditionally blue state elected a Dem governor. The more interesting wins for Dems were the down-ballot races in VA, but those might not have "national" implications.

Many of residents those "densely populated areas" derive their income from Washington DC, and have an interest in maintaining the status quo. Alexandria, Virginia Beach/Norfolk, etc.

Read today that 2/3rd of independent voters, who now are a plurality in the US, voted against the Dotard.

Anti-Trump turnout in droves, despite the rain. Lots of female candidates. 13-term bigoted homophobe ousted by a transgender. This was a clear message to Trump, which Whell is too dense to understand.

Also read that a GOP operative was moaning that getting a black, latino or a female vote is going to be very difficult for the Dotard Party.

I find this humorous. Trump called Kim Jr. Rocketman and he in turn called Trump a Dotard. I am certain no one in NK will dare to call Kim Rocketman, whereas here we get to call Trump a Dotard at will. :D

Now you're parroting Jerry Falwell, Jr. in his tweet bemoaning Trump clones getting their asses handed to them in VA:

DC should annex NOVA and return the governance of VA to Virginians! The founders intended DC to include all fed employees who are conflicted.

The educated and highly-paid professionals living in NoVA, Richmond, and Tidewater financially support the rest of the state. If those living in the red parts of the state (rural and southwest Virginia) were willing to move to other parts of the state, they too could enjoy the bounty of a state with a vibrant economy, very low unemployment, great cultural resources and low crime. Or they can remain Trump voters, stewing in their resentment while hoping for the salvation that Donnie Dotard promised. That and Oxycontin should get them through the day.:cool:

I don't talk politics much since I moved over to the east side of the state. Probably why I'm not in here much. Independents are definitely the minority here.
