Title: Democrats should be terrified by this governorÂ’s race [Virginia]

WINCHESTER, VA. — The melodic sounds of a street musician’s trumpet echo through every corner of this old Virginia town as locals shop or make their way to lunch. Daren Johnson has been blowing his horn at the pedestrian mall in the shadow of the Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum for over an hour. He performs for two reasons: “To make some extra cash and to share a little bit of lightness. We are exhausted as a country,” he said, “a direct result of last year’s election.”

Johnson and his wife were tireless volunteers for Hillary Clinton last year. They knocked on doors, they made phone calls, they were invested. When she lost, the couple was devastated. Now, Johnson doesn’t even know who is running for governor.

“I’ve voted every year for the past 46 years, always informed, always enthusiastic, always involved in the process. Now, it’s really hard to care,” Johnson said.

The upcoming gubernatorial election in Virginia is one of only two happening in the country this year, along with New Jersey. The race pits Ralph Northam, the current lieutenant governor and a Democrat, against Ed Gillespie, a former George W. Bush administration official and Republican National Committee chairman.


Gillespie (left) and Northam

Northam should have a comfortable lead right now. Terry McAuliffe, the outgoing governor he currently serves under, is popular and generally seen as successful. Plus, Virginians have historically elected governors from the party opposite to a president who’s won the year before. In 2001, Democrat Mark Warner won one year after George W. Bush was elected; in 2009, Republican Bob McDonnell won one year after Barack Obama took the state.

And, of course, there is the Trump factor — Clinton beat the president comfortably here, although almost all of her vote came from the heavily populated, heavily liberal Northern Virginia suburbs with the rest of the state (mostly rural, mostly forgotten) going for Donald Trump with the exception of the state capital and some college towns.

But Northam’s numbers are not up — in fact, the last three public polls show next month’s race within the margin of error. That includes a Monmouth University poll released Tuesday, which gives Gillespie the edge over Northam among likely voters by 48 to 47 percent.

Both parties have pulled out all the stops for this race. Ex-president Obama was here for a rally; George W. Bush for a fundraiser. Joe Biden’s stumped here, so has Vice President Mike Pence. So far, Trump has only tweeted about the race: “Ralph Northam, who is running for Governor of Virginia, is fighting for the violent MS-13 killer gangs & sanctuary cities. Vote Ed Gillespie!”

Gillespie has avoided broadcasting that endorsement on the campaign trail. There are no mentions of it on his website. After Trump claimed there were “some very fine people on both sides” of a neo-Nazi protest in nearby Charlottesville that left one woman dead, Gillespie’s spokesman Dave Abrams said the candidate “did not see any fine people on the side of the white nationalists and neo-Nazis.” But Gillespie has not directly criticized Trump either.

Meanwhile Stephanie Vaughan, the Democratic county chairperson in Winchester, says the party is working hard to clinch victory by appealing to a wider crowd. “We very much try to have a big-tent approach here. We welcome moderate, progressive and conservative Democrats into our party, and we encourage everyone to listen to our message,” she said. “Here our issues are pretty straightforward — transportation, education and health care.”

Behind the counter of her coffee shop, Lanita Byrne said she did not vote for Trump and loved Clinton but is completely undecided on which candidate she wants for governor. “Honestly it comes down to who is best on taxes. I think there should be less burdens and more opportunities for small-business owners,” she said.

Clark Hansbarger, meanwhile, said he saw the Trump win coming from a mile away. “I kept telling all of my liberal friends, and they would just laugh at me. They thought no way,” he said. Hansbarger then chuckles and admits he, too, is a liberal. “But, look, I travel a lot. When Trump spoke about carnage in his inaugural address, I’ve seen exactly what he meant all over the country,” he said.

Johnson begins to play his trumpet again, then stops. “I guess I’ll vote,” he admits. “But honestly I am sick of both parties . . . and I am not voting straight ticket, that is for sure.”

Certainly the Democrats are the ones with the most to lose. The party has had a year to craft the perfect message offering voters an alternative to the Republicans in power. Have they succeeded? Maybe. If not, the rejection could be almost as bad as the pain they were dealt nationally last year. Once again, a race easily within their grasp could slip through their fingers because they failed to excite their base.


Poster Comment:

The Dem is about as exciting as Dukakis or Shitlery, i.e. charisma around zero. Still, history strongly favors a Dem victory. I think the attacks on the Confederate monuments and the demoralization of Dems gives Gillespie a strong chance, maybe even an advantage over Northam, McCauliffe's stooge lieutenant governor. If they lose this one, the Dems will really be desperate.(1 image)

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order extending DACA sanctuary for MS-13 and other illegal alien "Dream Students".

You really need to stop lying. Stone has chastised you many times for spreading your lies. There has been no Executive Order signed by Trump that extends DACA sanctuary for MS-13 gang members. On the contrary, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced today and even stricter crackdown on the brutal MS-13 street gang. Sessions today designated the MS-13 gang as a "priority" for the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. This new designation in effect today now directs prosecutors to pursue all legal avenues, including racketeering, gun and tax laws, to target the gang. It is noteworthy to mention that this gang has become a prime target of President Donald Trump's administration amid its broader crackdown on immigration. This new designation today will allow officials to target MS-13 with a renewed vigor and a sharpened focus.

If you don't think that any of those illegal alien "Dream Students" that Trump is giving sanctuary to with his DACA EO are MS-13, you're dumber than I thought!

We've been through President Trump's DACA eo, and nolu even posted the relevant section.

There ought to be a law requiring all illegal alien dream student gangbangers, to hang a big sign around their necks stating their brand! Just so Gatlin will know.

Here is a list of all Presidential Executive Orders in 2017. Identify the one you are talking about.

Perhaps you mean a September statement from the Office of the Press Secretary ending the DACA program.

Yes that's the one where Trump orders the Press Secretary to protect the "Dreamers" for six months to give congress time to NOT repeal DACA. No way will Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and the D&R Party reconquista majority in congress, do anything except to love, cherish, and protect Obama & Donald's illegal alien Dream Students.

Then they'll come up with another installment of "Why We Have to Keep the Dream Students", undocumented MS-13, undocumented ISIS Muslims, Senator Juan McCain's lettuce pickers, etc, illegal aliens.

It's clear that they're dithering around until after the elections to pass an amnesty bill. It's gonna be a lots of laughs hearing their BS excuses to surrender the USA to Aztlan & Allah!

It's a situation comedy show, that's NOT funny!

Huh ????
