First, the Army of Northern Virginia lost.

Then the fed employees built brownstones.

I-95. The Yankees pour down it into Virginia. We were at the Virginia Natural Bridge and it sounded like you were in Massachusetts.

Go to Kentucky’s Natural Bridge and you are surrounded by Trump voters.

I have long been a proponent of giving DC statehood as long as they take Fairfax and Arlington counties with them and give Virginia back to the true southerners

VA will be a fully blue state within the next 10-15 years if the rural voters keep moving away.

I say they should take a page out of the Chinese playbook and relocate DC to a chain of artificially built islands in the Mississippi River.

TRUMP actually performing well in Chesterfield and Virginia Beach Counties but NOVA will make this difficult.

Grew up there and was actively involved in a few campaigns. The biggest issues driving red to blue in northern Virginia have been:

Increased immigration (and subsequent naturalization)
Rightward swing in the national GOP platform
Growth of Fed Employees

Youngkin won on a moderate platform. Tom Davis and John Warner were republicans that consistently won on moderate platforms in NoVa.

I went home a few years ago and hardly recognized Prince William County

It’s spread more than that. Loudoun county is just as blue as Fairfax and Arlington

Just look up all the dumb shite Loudoun’s county public schools has done in the past 3 years

Let's hold on a minute. Steve Deace on The Blaze just said that in order for Trump to win Virginia he has to win today voting by at least ten points and he said currently Trump is up fifteen points in today's voting.
