Primary voters get it wrong sometimes.
McAuliffe had a HORRIBLE Grass roots game. Absolutely awful.
He took it for granted that he was going to win because Trump.
He didn't get off his ass until August and tried to substitute a LATE money dump and a few yard signs for a ground game.
He was a former Governor so had a LOT of baggage. Winning a split term is NEVER easy.
THAT is the lesson WE need to relearn every single cycle, it seems.
We can survive the M$M. We can survive rich white men as candidates. We CANNOT win unless we have a strong ground game that insures a good turnout and it has to start at least a year prior to election day...not months before.
VA was not about the Right so much as it was about a bad choice for the Democratic candidate. And the data seems to be proving that out.
