he's pretty popular there from what I hear.

Seriously, though, demographics that have been attacking the GOP are pretty strong in VA over the last decade or so.

It's a good thing. But hiring Tim Kaine was a smart move. Pretty much put VA in the Dem pockets for this cycle so they could focus elsewhere.

About time, although single digits would be more appropriate. Perhaps that gun-wielding jerk attempting to intimidate volunteers for 12 hours didn't play out too well in those parts?

fleeing to Johnson? 11% is a fairly high number for a 3rd Party candidate. That is fine. Less votes for Trump.
