    I wonder if Trump will congratulate her?!! You go girl?!!

    Remember The Cyclist Who Flipped Off Trump’s Motorcade? She Just Won A Virginia Election.

    Juli Briskman will now be on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.

    WASHINGTON ― Juli Briskman, who famously flipped off President Donald Trump’s motorcade in a viral 2017 photo, won her race Tuesday night for a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in Virginia.

    Briskman, a former marketing executive and local Democratic activist, unseated eight-year incumbent Republican Suzanne Volpe. She will represent the Algonkian District on the board, which serves more than 400,000 residents.

    Trump is Electoral POISON.

    He (single-handedly) costs the GOP the Kentucky Governor's Race, because he is so unpopular people voted against Trump's Candidate.

    And, somebody who flipped him off gets elected.

    Trump? What an IMBECILE...:roflol:

    (CNN)Democrats will win majorities in Virginia's House and Senate on Tuesday, CNN projects, giving the party full control of the state's government for the first time in more than two decades.

    The victories put Gov. Ralph Northam and Democrats in the Legislature in position to pursue a progressive agenda -- including gun control measures, which majority Republicans had blocked, and a higher minimum wage.

    Democrat Andy Beshear claims victory in Kentucky governor race

    With the "trifecta" of the House, Senate and governor's office, Democrats will also control the redistricting process after the 2020 census, drawing the new maps for congressional and state legislative districts.
    The result on Tuesday night was a continuation of the years-long collapse of the GOP in what until recently had been a swing state. Virginia voted for George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election and elected Republican Bob McDonnell governor in 2009, but the state has backed Democratic presidential and gubernatorial candidates since those elections.

    Now I have often been the fiercest opponent of gerrymandering but if we continue to do as well in other state legislatures as we just did in Virginia tonight, I may quickly learn to appreciate the virtue of a marker in a democratic party operative's hands, as he generates demographic voter pattern charts and discovers artistic shapes reminiscent of my 7 year old son and his etch-a-sketch

    Just like Obama and Trump, I too, am capable of evolving on the issues of the day.

    The polls also had Hillary winning in 2016.
    Polls are vaporware.

    Last I checked she won by what polls track — individual responces.
    Her PV win was in the MOE for the majority of polls.

    To determine the truth, always look for the "missing" information intentionally left out to deceive the reader. Look what I just found! Now that's some funny stuff. LOL Hahaha. Sometimes I really crack myself up. Hehehehe --pete--

    WASHINGTON ― Juli Briskman, who famously flipped off President Donald Trump’s motorcade in a viral 2017 photo, won her race Tuesday night for a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in Virginia. Proving once again the Democrats can steal any election by gaining enough control of the voting process. Fred Franko, a Loudoun County ice cream store owner said; "I don't know one person who voted for Juli. I just can't understand how she won. Something really stinks about this whole election."

    How fitting. The entire Virginia election was a giant F U to the moron in the White House. Plenty more where that came from.

    Then you're speaking out from both ends Andrew.

    Really? I think he's making an excellent case

    Exhibit 1 - His poll from 5-7 days ago showing Bevin up 6% points
    Exhibit 2 - Trump shows up on Nov 4th supporting Bevin
    Exhibit 3 - Election results showing Bevin down 5100 votes

    The hypothesis is that Trump's support cost Bevin the election.... Maybe, Maybe not, but it's something he needs to consider before stumping for anybody else next time...

    Yeah, they do a lot of arm waving and finger raising. Must be part of the routine.

    Comprehension is fundamental, it's still too close to call. But I'm sure the Democrats will "discover" some uncounted ballots somewhere. It doesn't matter the Republicans have a super majority in both houses of the state legislature. Bevins was just an unlikeable guy, but the state turning blue? When do Fat and Slim mean the same thing?

    Hopefully she's able to still put some miles on that bike. Looks like she's still stress-testing that bicycle seat...

    Yes and I apologize. What I meant to say was he only had a 30% approval rating before Trumps visit. As of now, the race is contested. It was that close. Hardly an upset.
