Trump campaign pulling out of Virginia

Trump campaign pulling out of Virginia. That’s a swing state, folks, and Trump just conceded it to Hillary.

    • So you would prefer an IHTM that ignored any news story or any fact that contradicted what you want to believe? The difference between the left and the right, in my mind, was always that the left was delusional and couldn't face reality, whereas the right was willing to admit when they had something wrong or when events were going against them. A Republican politician was a crook or a scumbag? Republicans would vote the cretin out of office. A Democrat politician was a crook or scumbag? They'd continue to vote for them. Now, with these whack-job Trump supporters, reality is out the window and conservatives are expected to happily accept a new life as delusional and brainless. Not me. Reality is reality. Trump is a scumbag and liar, and Trump is not a constitutional conservative or a social conservative. I don't care if he wins or loses because he and Hillary offer equal chances for damage to my country. So I will continue to look at the facts and all current events, whether they fit the propaganda goals of the Trump campaign or not.

    • LOL. The Trump campaign says they are "reallocating some of our staff strategically" to other states. But it's only temporary. Uh huh. And you believe that? You realize the election is only three and a half weeks away, right? And you realize North Carolina is so Republican even Romney won there, so if Trump has to reallocate resources to North Carolina from Virginia, that's a bad sign, right?

      • “All campaigns move resources around,” he said. “I’ll confirm that the Trump bus in Virginia went to North Carolina for several days. . . . You would have to be an idiot not to do that. You drive down 95, you hit the state [line]. . . . It’s temporary. They’re coming back.” (Snip)

        Why not remind us which successful - or not- campaign you've run?

        • The decision came from Trump's headquarters in New York and was announced on a conference call late Wednesday that left some Republican Party operatives in the state blindsided. Two staffers directly involved in the GOP's efforts in Virginia confirmed the decision. The move to pull out of Virginia shows Trump is "running essentially a four state campaign..."

          And your response is to say, "It's only temporary!" because, of course, the campaign can't formally admit they're giving up. Your naïve faith in every word the Trump campaign utters is ludicrous. You must have missed the part where Trump hasn't spent any money--zero--on broadcast ads in Virginia and has trailed in Virginia in every poll and the deficit keeps growing. He would be dumb NOT to give up in Virginia. He doesn't have a prayer there. And if that's happening in other swing states, he's in big trouble.

          • "That's a swing state folks.." - JPTravis personality #1

            "He would be dumb NOT to give up.....He doesn't have a prayer there" - JPTravis personality #2

            "..if that's happening in other swing states.."- JPTravis personally confused.

            Your rabid hate for those trying to save the country from Hillary is nausiating

  • That doesn't make sense... If this man wins it is ONLY because the Lord Jesus wanted him to win. He could never claim (he will though) that he won because of himself because this is implosive and stupid.
