If the Democrat wins in the upcoming election in NJ and VA....

...then it might make the Republicans think twice about their support for President Tweeter?

We may get a hint at how the elections might go in 2018 if Republicans maintain the status quo?

I'm sure the Republicans are watching these races very closely. If the races are close, nothing will change. If the Democrat in either state wins by a large margin, it could be panic city for many Republicans.

1. Democrat in NJ will win big

VA race is more interesting.

2. Dem gov wins in both states will not change minds. Dems winning both VA legislative houses might.

A total wipeout of Republicans in the Virginia legislature might cause some Repubs to rethink their loyalties to the traitor in the White House.

3. Its highly likely we will win both

Though no GOP will not turn on Trump if they lose both governorships. We will have to wait until the 2018 midterms before we reach that point.

4. New Jersey means nothing

That's an expected and a given.

Virginia governor is a free swing for Republicans. They'll laugh and rejoice if we fail.

The Virginia legislature is another matter, as emphasized in a previous post. Democrats have tried and failed there recently. That's our best chance to see if Trump's low approval ratings and independents shifting away from him might impact the House and local races next year.

6. This is in its own thread

But a link to hop on DFA"s predictive dialer to call VA

5. Hopefuly if we win VA medicaid expansion will have a chance.

Unfortunately the Republicans' latest "Tax Reform" bill re-introduces the Medicaid cuts from their "Healthcare" bill.
