I'm pretty sure Virginia would vote for a sack of potatoes before she voted for Trump.

I don't know.  I used to live in Virginia, and I don't see Trump being a good fit there.  He offends too many people.

Campaign hard in rural VA and VA beach area and try to match the 2014 senate map or 2013 Cucinelli/McCauliffe map. Both those losses were close, and turning up turnout may be able to hit those numbers and at least have a shot.

Interesting point.  When I think about it, Trump is pretty much Cuccinelli, and Hillary is pretty much McAuliffe.  The YUGE difference is that this is a Presidential year, and Virginia randomly holds its gubernatorial elections on off-years.  1,614,175 more people voted in 2012 than in 2013.  That kind of turnout wouldn't have helped Cuccinelli, and it won't help Trump either.
