The Virginia GOP has finally, after months of infighting and refusal to cooperate from its Trumpian wing, settled on how it will nominate its candidates for statewide races: a drive-up “convention.”
The question is will Republicans fall in line behind whomever is the nominee which is the normal GOP way or have they become more like the Democrats and want to fall in love. Or to put another way, can the 1% establishment Republicans take back control of the Party from the base?

They could pick each other off without ever leaving their cars. The GQP is in a civil war and it looks like it will get worse before it gets better, if it ever gets better. Loving it.

“I would like the VA GOP State Central Committee to answer a question,” she tweeted Tuesday night after doing a hit on Newsmax. “1,962,430 voters voted for President Trump in Virginia. How are you going to accommodate these people who will want to cast a vote for our statewide candidates?”
BRIAN: Brothers! Brothers! We should be struggling together!
FRANCIS: We are! Ohh.
BRIAN: We mustn’t fight each other! Surely we should be united against the common enemy!
EVERYONE: The Establishment Republicans?!
BRIAN: No, no! The Democrats!
In related news, the GQP has completely collapsed in Virginia. They haven’t won any statewide office since 2009, and it appears they are doubling down on why they are losers.
