Going Commando Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Justin Fairfax is 37. Smart as hell. Smooth. Can connect with Millennials. IMO candidates like him are how Democrats develop a bench for Congress and win over a generation of young progressives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got the chance to meet and talk to my new delegate, Jay Jones. He is a baby face who is only a couple years older than me. Put in the work to do the retail politics and meet his constituency. He's another highly-driven young guy with an impressive resume winning a seat in the state government. I'm proud of him and I'd love to see more Millennials and young Gen Xers who don't have a hard-on for Reaganism winning elections and saving the country, seat by seat.

Sensible conservatives need to get their house in order and return to the actual principles that may appeal to normal people, and not try to policy-**** them over. There is a problem. The face of their party has no actual principles. Racism and nationalism is what the heart of the party exudes. At the root are scare tactics.

Forehead Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 47 minutes ago, Forehead said: 45-44 Democrats.... I'm going off the New York Times tracker, but it is now 47-46 Democrats. The seven races left are currently shown as 4-3 Republicans, which would be a 50-50 House. Though all the remaining races are within a percentage point of each other.

DogofWar1 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 How are ties in the house handled? Lt. Gov vote? It's been R for so long I never bothered to check up on how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote-ish "They're like the dog that caught the car and has no idea what to do because it didn't expect it."... there was some talk about how this would have probably been a win for Gillespie had Trump not won. They've been so focused on being against anything that liberals might want, they don't really have a message about what they want. At least not in substance, all talk, no sensible plan that aligns with the talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really needs to be more middle of the road/compromise on all sides. If they just ignore the right, the next election may not go as well. Northam spoke to that. He said he'll be governor for all Virginians, and that the recent scourge of divisive politics needs to end. This is a total repudiation of Donald Trump's brand of scorched earth politics. Ralph Northam is a reasonable man. As sad as it is to say, that is refreshing in today's political arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long ago he'd likely be a Republican instead of a democrat... The DNC? I don't trust them to play any hand their delt well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 A good day for Dems and really a good day for Virginians in general. Good to see we are still a state where common sense and reason can prevail over hatred and fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
