Va voters to Democratic Party and 2018 Candidates: IT'S ABOUT DONALD EFFING TRUMP, STUPID.

Do you think this message can be received and internalized in time for next year?

You will not convert Republican voters to vote for Democrats. Their voters are their voters. Our voters are ours. They are too Fox Newsed. The best you can hope for is that their turnout will be depressed. And our voters will turn out.

Northam outperformed polls because the GOP voters turnout was depressed and the Dem turnout, with no particular thanks to the candidate or certain former Dem officials, was SUPER ENERGIZED.

The reason the Dem turnout was SUPER ENERGIZED, resulting in a wave that may yet even flip a gerrymandered state house, is the Cheeto Golem in the White House.

Not mealy mouthed statements about sanctuary cities or other claptrap.

Now learn that lesson and apply it going forward!
