Discussion: Trump's Campaign Is Reportedly Giving Up On Virginia

The account of the People writer is when I started feeling sorry for Melania. What sort of creep sexually assaults someone while he has a pregnant wife upstairs? And then tells the assaulted they’re going to have an affair later? That’s a prescription to curdle any feeling that you might have for your husband - if she has any left at this point, that is.

Virginian, my friend, I know this has been difficult for you, these past months…and VA coming through means a LOT.

My hope is that darrtown can resister a win in Arizona.

And I keep hoping for 538’s stubborn senate #'s to start shifting – I really won’t be fully satisfied unless we can get the senate to 54! At least give us a fighting chance to hold onto it in 2018!

And by the time she sues him for divorce he won’t be worth a dime.

Thank you! – I’ve wanted so badly to skip out of here and head to CA or a far bluer state … but, alas, $$$. So, yeah, I and others are fighting to make VA keep turning leftward. So far, we’re doing it. And, yeah, wouldn’t it be great if AZ took an unusual turn to the left? Fingers crossed and more power to @darrtown. :wink:

That’s why she shouldn’t wait.
I’m not a lawyer, but surely she has grounds for a fantastic divorce settlement right now, doesn’t she?

HAHAHAHAHAH! I did voter reg, phone banking and canvassing in Charlottesville for the last week in August, instead of vacation.
Virginia is for Lovers, baby!

Thank you, thank you, thank you – the work is paying off. I really believe we have a solid shot at turning District 5 back to blue this year. Jane Dittmar signs are what I’m seeing around here.

Given polls have Penn at like +9 clinton at the moment that is a major reach. There are regions of the state that may have kept it closer before. Florida and Ohio are always close but he needs a ton of EV to make up. Even as it is, he would need to sweep all battleground states.

"He only had to spend money on an ad campaign? And completely change the candidate at the top of the ticket. No problem!

Oh, so HO is giving up on Virginia.

Someone (expat?) on a different thread said Drumpf was giving up on Vagina. I didn’t think that sounded quite right.

You see, running for President is hard work! It requires the skills of an expert businessman who can delegate tasks and appropriate funds, you know, someone who has experience in running a real business!

and the question is…can he win without Virginia? IF he takes all other swing states, that is.

The fact that he thinks he has a chance in Pennsylvania just another example of how fucking deluded Trump and his campaign are.

Stewart AND Bossie…there’s a dream team. Bossie so consumed by his hatred of Hillary that his every move is driven by rage and not reason. Stewart, who at this stage in the race, believes that just running some ads would make Trump competitive. Around here in PA, we see those ads and when contrasted with what we know, it just makes us more convinced than ever that Trump is the worst presidential candidate EVER nominated by a major political party. Not just inept and vain and duplicitous and egotistic and domineering…but truly dangerous to our democracy. The aftermath of this campaign is going to be really damaging.

I was feeling sorry for her too last night thinking about how she must be stressing out and trying to protect her young son from this public nightmare of his father being exposed as a pervert, thug and asshole.
She’s a pretty woman but the stress was showing at the last debate. Fine by me if she wants to come to this country and marry a rich guy, nothing wrong with that but this, this is far more than she bargained for and I feel for her trying to protect her son. Donald’s seed or not, he’s just a kid.

Isn’t Virginia a must-win state?

Melania knows…one of the latest in the new crop of women charging they were groped involves a woman who was at Mar del Lago for some event and Trump tried to put a move on her, just as Melania walked by. Melania, the woman said, was clearly NOT happy with what she saw, and it cannot have been the only time she saw it.

Marrying Donald was a deal with the devil…she got the wealth and an out from a life in Slovenia…but oh what she has had to give up…her personal dignity not least of it. I do feel some sadness for her, but one wonders how long this marriage is going to last after the election. Too much has been revealed I think, to allow her to just take it. If she is smart, she is already talking with good divorce lawyers, although I am sure Donald has enough experience about divorces that he has a very tight pre nup.

That’s for sure. Some of his other spawn have cut off elephant’s tails, forced unpaid interns to write content for their websites, etc., but Barron (?) is just a kid. I’d be no picnic, really, to grow up with that abnormal human being as your father.
