Trump Thinks He Can Flip Virginia in 2020

[Anonymous]

Despite the Governor/Lt. Governor cluster****, I still think Trump has no chance of flipping VA in 2020.

President Donald Trump is muscling into a blue state where Democrats are reeling: Virginia.

With a tenuous grip on states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the president is looking for opportunities to expand his electoral playing field. He’s set his sights on Virginia, a state Democrats have dominated in the past decade, but where the party’s three top officeholders are embroiled in scandals.


Leading the offensive is Vice President Mike Pence, who on Wednesday evening headlined a fundraiser in McLean for Republican state legislators up for election in November. Pence is expected to hold additional events for Virginia lawmakers in the coming months, and White House officials intend to use the 2019 elections to test whether they can make inroads in the state, which Trump lost by 5 percentage points.

Given that those offices won’t be up for election or even primary until after 2020, I think it will be hard to stir it up too much.

One Fairfax County residents understand what One Fairfax will do to the schools, he very well could. Moving boundaries to take kids out of good schools and place them to crappy ones will be personal enough to wake folks up

Your vote for POTUS has nothing to do with school redistricting.

I'm sorry, what does the presidential election have to do with that?

Or do you just fill in the bubble next to the candidate who enables your phobia of poor people?

But Linda, what purpose would you find in life if you didn’t have One Fairfax to blame for all your woes?

What about when boundaries are changed to move wealthy people out of poorer schools? That is about the only way FCPS has changed boundaries in the last 15 years. It has not been good for the system. They are actually spending tax dollars to expand schools instead of using available space. Not good.

Won’t happen. The average Virginian is moderate, tolerant and easy going, whether liberal or conservative, and not the MAGA type. Sure, you have some outliners, but the state isn’t turning red in 2020. Sorry.

+1 He's grasping at straws as his approval ratings in many swing states are in the toilet.
