Fuck
Trump helped just enough
In a district trump took by 12 points

Dude, what do you expect?  The people of NC, hate.  They hate black people, Arab people, Spanish speaking people, gay people, transgender people, non Christian people, liberal people, dog people, cat people, the beautiful people, the ugly people, trailer trash people, yuppie mcmansion people, NBC people, CBS people, food stamp people, lottery winner people, smart people, city slicker people, Darwinist people, Hollywood  people, anti tobacco people, and you . . . they really hate, tourist people.

Dude, what do you expect? 

it was really close in an election that anyone with an R should have taken by 10-12 points
It would have been a really nice win to give confidence that Trump will lose in 2020 if you can flip a district like that
In the end they won it and will be all smug like it was a MANDATE, but they were shaking in their boots for a little while there
and Trump definitely helped, so that means all the GOP will be kissing his ass even more (if that's even possible)

edit...ack did we have a 2019 thread?   oh well


Elections have consequences...and I'm happy to be in the state of VA to witness these
I like what is listed first!

Mark Herring @MarkHerringVA
As the General Assembly convenes today I'll be pushing to:
 Decriminalize marijuana, resolve past convictions, move toward legal adult use
 Pass the ERA
 Pass commonsense gun safety laws
 Address the rise in white supremacist violence
 Stop predatory lending

I did read that the conservative lawyers are already trying to throw the ERA out due to technicalities
