U.S. And International Politics

[Steve M. Galbraith]

Here's the party control of Virginia since 1992. Governor, Senate and House. It's gone from entirely Blue to mostly Red (look at the House of Delegates) to Purple to back to Blue starting with Trump in 2020. Up and down. Interestingly, the governorship has been mostly 50/50 for decades alternating from D to R to D to R to D to R (not including this latest race).

Since 2000, 22 of the 26 Houses have been controlled by Republicans. A "heavily Democrat state for a long time" wouldn't have those results.

   How about we just bottom line the issue and Stop screwing around with the Crayola Crayon Charts. About 51% of registered voters in Virginia are Democrats. Republican = 30%. So much for Virginia being even close to being "mostly red".

Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was. Just another Fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr. (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

RT @realDonaldTrumpI am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

  Tell ya what. How about we trade you Greene for Fetterman?

   You must have accidentally picked up some old "talking points". They were saying the same thing about Trump way back in 2015.

Nobody said that Virginia is currently "mostly red." No one. In fact, people said the opposite. That is that it's been a purplish state that only recently turned Democratic/Blue after Trump took over the GOP. No one said "red"; they said "purple."

However, one person said it's been a Democratic state "for a long time." The charts I showed (with links) prove that it's not been a Democratic state for "a long time." In fact, they show the opposite.

Voter preferences *today* don't tell us anything about the history of those preferences. It's meaningless to the question.

Once again: Virginia has been a swing state for the past 40 years, shifting from Democrat to Republican back, recently, to Democrat. It's not been a Democratic one for "a long time." A Democratic state "for a long time" simply does *not* elect a Republican House of Delegate for 22 of the past 26 years.
