twa Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 could always be worse. Walter Russell MeadVerified account @wrmead 59m59 minutes ago More The argument among Democrats now is whether their 2016 nominee was a knave or their party chair was a fool. That's not a good look.

He's a focus group Republican. He's moving with the wind and the wind is to try and gin up fear-based attacks. Dog whistling has been a staple since 2006, when a large part of the GOP broke with Bush 43 on immigration (and before that in many places), but Gillespie is going well beyond what we'd see throughout the 2000's in the vast majority of places. Boehner is a "traditional" Republican, as is Kasich, and they are worlds apart from Gillespie. Of course, both are kinda playing with house money while Gillespie is trying to win votes, which frankly does not say great things about his voters.

Plus, VA needs a Democrat for governor. As tilted as this state is for republicans, having the executive and the legislative in for republicans, we would take leaps backwards. Doubt that Democrats would be relevant again in VA I’d Gillespie wins. We need a balance of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm glad Gillispie defeated the Trump/Bannon disciple and now I want him to win so the Trumper's can't use it in other battles against non Trumpers. I basically want every non Trump Republican to win in their efforts - (here in Arizona looks like Martha McSally will be taking on the Trumper - Kelli Ward for Flakes seat).

Understand your logic, I think the party is long gone though. At least while Trump is in office. Face it, Trump sets the platform. They’ll all (95%) bend the knee for Trump. Gillespie will too, just a matter of time for him. Im perfectly happy with the direction VA is going. If Gillespie wins, I fear lower taxes will lead to less education spending, less highway/roadway improvements, less chance of MJ legalization. Probably lock up all the Mexicans though, he’s made that loud and clear with his gutless MS-13 scare tactics. That and he will chop the dick off any sex offender.

But yet Gillespie is running like a Trump like candidate with his ads. A victory here just solidifies that "normal Republicans" will be running on the Trump message. Less dog whistles and more bullhorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Air quality is too clean...... Good gawd these people are insane, they are just downright insane. And the GOPers are responsible. You hear that Trump voters?! Your EPA advisors say that our air quality is too clean! We need more pollutants in our air for better health. Next thing you know they’ll be touting the health benefits of smoking 4 packs per day. You Trump voters did this to us. I see no reason why the rest of us should be forced to suffer because of your stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live in VA and so don't know much about what is happening there, but I've given money money to Ben Sasse, and I don't agree with him on much of anything other than Trump is bad. But Gillispie seems to be running to Trump and following Trump's play book. If that's the future of the Republican party, then count me out. IMO we've gotten to the point that silence is support. And I don't live in NB either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You people are idiots. Next words out of Trump’s mouth will be “We don’t need clean coal, we need to increase coal burning, and auto emissions!” The the idiotic GOP will all cry out rejoicing that they found a scientist (who they think are corrupt and elitists) who thinks our air is too clean.

LD0506 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 ...and they're exporting the stupid as well, shocking Quote According to reports, members of the Trump administration, will lend their support to an event to promote fossil fuels and nuclear power as solutions to climate change. Speakers from coal giant Peabody Energy, among others, will make a presentation to highlight the role that coal and other fuels can play in curbing the impacts of rising temperatures. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-41859283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
