Northam Wins!!! Democrats Sweeping Virginia! Trumpism Repudiated!,

Fantastic news!
Lt. Governor Ralph Northam won the governorship in Virginia, beating Ed Gillespie, who ran a dirty ztrump-like campaign, accusing Northam of allying with criminal immigrant gang MS-13, wanting to remove Confederate statues, and supporting unpatriotic athletes.
The major networks just called the race for Northam. They say it is 51-48, but the margin seems likely to grow as the votes roll in from the DC suburbs.
Democrats are also picking up seats in the House of Delegates. The GOP author of the phony transgender bathroom bill was defeated.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)4. The key is,one has to
find and expose these mega campaign donors. The question has to be asked,and asked when these money bag people are exposed,what do this people want for their support. Of course,the real threat is this,a major quite ad buy the last weekend before Election Day.
