    I think Spanberger will win. I think Sears just doesn't come across as effective or likable to anyone but hard-core MAGA. Spanberger's support for Jones is why she's not polling better.

    I think AG will come down to who voters are willing to hold their nose for as they vote. Jones will get votes from the "anyone not a republican crowd." I think in the end it'll come down to how well Jones convinces voters Miyares is a hardcore Trump supporting member of MAGA. That's essentially been his whole campaign since his text messages became public.

    I agree. Spanberger should have immediately distanced herself from Jay Jones, and maybe the race between her and Sears wouldn't have even been close.

    I'm literally one of the people in the middle, that either side has to earn my vote. Through their behavior, past and present, and how they align with what I think is best for this country. You make an interesting comment about Sears and MAGA. How does the cult of racists, nazis and misogynists become the only people that prefer the only woman of color in this state election?

    She's just so bad at politics. What's the point of this segment? To run your campaign against a guy who both left office nearly a decade ago, and is still the most popular political figure in the country? That's the target you want to go after? Also trying to like rules-lawyer an endorsement out of him because you're a black woman and he supported a black woman in a different race last year? Just absolute dogshit politicking, even before you get to the actual policy substance.

    Nothing is as persuasive as “vote for me or you’re racist like Obama!”

    If you think she can't win, you haven't been paying attention the last nine or so years.

    She’s stupid, and the voters in your country are also objectively stupid. It will be nothing short of a miracle if she doesn’t win.

    And remember— no matter what happens— these people will still vote for Trump in a heartbeat. They straight-up deserve this shit:

    CNN did an interview with a similar type person, and even now they'll still defend everything he has done that hurts other people, but it's just an absolute tragedy when harm comes to their door.

    Looks like the communist won NYC, so can’t wait to see the incoming Trump meltdown.

    Democrats basically swept. Took G, LtG, AG, and a huge legislative majority in VA. Retained in PA, took G in NJ, defeated Prop 1 in ME, flipped the public service commission seats in GA. Only big one left is Prop 50 in CA, which they haven't started reporting results for yet.

    And AP has called Yes on Prop 50 immediately after polls closed. Literally 0% reporting, lawl.

    But Trump said that some benevolent private donor gave over $100 million to keep the troops paid through the shutdown!
