I think Republicans are going to get crushed. VA gov race should be a good predictor. Most polls showing Republican/Trump support are suspect at best. Recent polls have been claiming Trump support has been skyrocketing. Apparently a 1% increase to still under 50% approval is skyrocketing. The adjective ladden mental gymnastics have been impressive. My question is who gets the blame if Republicans get curb stomped by the green hairs? And if that happens does the right move the goal posts for their current love affair with government control?

Take leave and go vote. Or change your residency. Non military folks find themselves in similar situations. The military shouldn't get an exception. All citizens should be afforded the same voting rights. I love early voting and mail in because I dont have to mingle with the poors.

Virginia races are fixed. The republicans have the most diverse ticket in the history of Virginia and the dems call them "racist". Sears - Black, female, immigrant from Jamaica. Reid - openly gay man. Jason Miyares - a first gen American from Cuba.

The democrats? Pasty rich white deep state CIA Spanberger. Jay Jones openly fantasizes about killing children. Hashmi - Muslim (see NY mayor race).

Huge amounts of $$$ pour into the state from places all around the globe for their propaganda. If we had clean races, this one would be over.

You don't know much about the military. You can't take leave whenever you like.

Sears is 100% insane. She reminds me of the female version of James Browns mugshot.

More Bad News for Dems: Focus Groups See The Party as Weak and Woke

Yesterday Politico published the results of some focus groups that were held shortly after the elect

Today the NY Times published an interview with three election observers who came to a very similar conclusion about the Democratic Party. Lis Smith is a Democratic communications strategist.

Lis Smith: The Democratic brand is in the toilet. Many of the Democrats who succeeded this cycle — our best over-performers in House races, for instance — are people who ran against the Democratic Party brand. Trump tore down the blue wall in the industrial Midwest, but he also expanded his vote the most in our bluest and most urban areas.
Bruni: “The toilet”? Yikes, Lis, that’s severe. Do you really think it’s that bad?
Smith: When the best way to win as a candidate is to run against your own party, it’s that bad. Our candidates down ballot are good. It’s what the “D” next to their name means (the status quo) that people don’t like.

And one of the main reasons the brand is in the toilet is wokeness. Tim Ryan is a former Democratic Rep. from Ohio.

Ryan: The sign outside HQ now should say “Beware: Entering an Echo Chamber.” I said move to Youngstown, but it could be Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Toledo or Detroit or Milwaukee. But I am dead serious that it should not be in Washington or anywhere on the coasts. We need to send a bold signal that we are committed to reconnecting to people out in the real world.
Smith: I agree with Tim that our party has fallen victim to its echo chamber. If I were going to make a requirement of anyone working at the Democratic National Committee or on a presidential campaign, it would first be that they have at least one cycle of experience on a campaign in a red-swing area. You’re less likely to use terms like “justice-involved individuals” and embrace policies like the Green New Deal if you’ve spent a day or two talking to people who aren’t 100 percent down-the-line progressives like you.

Like many NAZI symbols including the swastika it had been used by other people long before the Nazis ever existed.
