WaPo: Virginia's blue wave shows no sign of slowing ahead of key House races next week

[ffr]

Two years ago, Virginia Democrats won a majority of their state’s congressional seats for the first time in a decade, part of a national trend that made Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) speaker of the House.

Republicans vowed to wrest back those gains, especially in districts that had long been GOP strongholds.

It isn’t going to happen, at least not this year. Nonpartisan forecasters predict Democrats will hold on to their 7-to-4 advantage in House seats and may even pick up an eighth.

The Republicans’ weakness in the Old Dominion results from three trends, which echo their challenges in much of the rest of the country. President Trump has acquired what analysts call a “toxic” reputation in the state. Demographic shifts that already helped Democrats in Northern Virginia have now spread to suburbs around Richmond and Hampton Roads. And a split between hard-line conservatives and center-right voters hampers the GOP’s ability to compete. - Washington Post

Or it could be that people are just FUCKING TIRED OF EATING SHIT EVERY FUCKING DAY! It could be that also, republicans.

3. I'm jealous. My Bluegrass state has been a red-assed state for too long.

I dream of the day when people wake up and realize that the republican party assaults everyone except the filthy rich and the Democratic party helps everyone.
