2017-11-08 | |
[Right Scoop] Brit Hume told Tucker Carlson something he definitely did not want to hear ‐ that it was Trump’s unpopularity that lost the Virginia race. "Unpopularity" of a populist president? Total, poll hawking rubbish! Please have a look at the swamp map.

#12 Virginia's economy did well under Obama, thanks to the massive growth of the federal bureaucracy and contractors, of which the state (along with Maryland) are the principal beneficiaries. Why would VA want a GOP governor? |

#9 Trump is polarizing. It's an intentional style, and it has consequences of various kinds. One is to motivate people to vote against him, just as many voted against Hillary in 2016. That said, Gillespie tried to have it both ways and failed to succeed. |

#8 Turnout was very heavy for an off year in Northern V. which is a donk heavy area that's pretty much the whole story |

#6 Looks like the two graphics are the same. Both say 2016 Presidential, 2016, but are titled 2017, both show the two candidate, percentages are identical... So naturally, there would not be much change. |

#5 The populated area in Virginia near D.C. is a part of the Swamp. The less populated areas in the hinterlands of Virginia tend to be "Red" rather than "Blue." The map posted by BP shows it well. |

#2 It was not for nothing that D.C. was designated a 'district' as opposed to a state, or as later proposed, a portion of an adjoining state. When you scratch the infected area, it spreads. |

#1 Did they run a Trump or a GOPe campaign? Did they gain ground in places traditionally Donk and lose places traditionally Trunk? |
