Why, a stronger W Virginia and weaker VA is ok in my book?It would be better if they tried to save VA before they gave up on it. That battle has only just begun
The only ones left will be in the urban areas (DC suburbs), and more likely than not, voting to keep the entitlements coming anyway.You give up on all the normal people trapped there by life and make it more certain their senators and representatives are deep blue, and if they fail financially we'll still pay for a lot of it.
I was looking at their legislative elections. 7 of their 'house' seats that flipped have a margin of victory of less than 6% on record turn-out. It only takes 6 of those to flip to change control of the VA house of delegates and all seats are up for election at once I believe in 2021. The senate takes longer to fix because 4 year terms but they can get rid of Governor KKK in 2021. If they can get record turnout among Republicans, conservatives and patriots I think they can turn the place around, I think Trump has proven that a surprisingly large number of people are fed up with gov't overreach and business as usual. Given what is happening to them under one party rule, if they can't take at least some of it back then yeah it's a lost cause but I'd rather not give up territory to the enemy
This!It would be better if they tried to save VA before they gave up on it. That battle has only just begun
This!
It’s looking like VA has turned blue, but there are still a lot of moderates who could vote for a pro-gun President. If the conservative counties leave VA, VA will become as solid blue as NY. VA isn’t NY yet.
I was in the outskirts of D.C. about a year ago it was the Arlington area it was all Asian ? I think they may have a coronavirus issue.
But it will be smaller, and of no import to the presidential race as they will have lost some of their electorate to WV, which will add electoral votes that go red.This!

Wouldn’t the difference in population mean VA loses electoral votes and W.VA would gain some electoral votes? Just curious if this would actually hurt us or help us considering all factors
Governor Northam and the leadership of the misnamed Democratic Party believed they were in a position to issue diktats expanding abortion, curtailing the second amendment, and punishing those who dare to criticize them. Their inability to underestimate the seriousness of the reaction they provoked does not speak well for their political acumen. If they were unwilling to compromise on issues that deeply divide Virginians, it is doubtful that they will negotiate the loss of Virginia’s rural counties to West Virginia, no matter how contemptuous they are of the people who live there.
