VA-GOV 2017: It's a Wave (GE: Nov 7th - Thread #2)

[OSR stands with Israel]

Really low conservative ideology number for Virginia.

People who may have called themselves Conservative a few years ago may identify as Moderate in Trump's America?

Like me

Gillespie should have just run a Bush type Republican general election campaign. VA is a Bush type GOP state not a Trump like

The Next Republican running in a swing state or leaning dem state should just tie himself to Bush 24/7 and their policies are similar to Bush not Trump. Bush is popular now

Its time for the GOP establishment to give the crazies in their base a middle finger.


Since the crazies dont have the money to run a third party campaign the establishment should just run third party campaigns against crazies( the establishment does have the money to run a third party type campaign ).


Once they do they will have taken back the party from the crazies who then force the gop nominee to run to far too the right.

His policies aren't and they never really were. He did not have strong bipartisan congressional support compared to say Reagan or Nixon (pre-watergate).

Bush in his first term got everything on his agenda passed.


It started to come apart in the 2nd term when Bush tried to get Social Security reform passed
