The first three rules of politics were on display in Virginia tonight

3. Assuming we lose this one I actually don't feel that bad as other elections . Maybe it's because we

have been through far worse plus I feel comfortable knowing that Virginia hasn't really gone right wing but rather it's still a moderate democratic state but not California blue .

I think Kaine or Warner would have won .

Republicans are doing what they have always done. They no longer win on things like abortion and gay rights and a few other issues that they would always run on. But now it's something like CRT or Defund the Police and other scaremongering .

Remember that there were many people that hate Trump but are not liberal and they can easily be swayed on these issues. Especially white people.
