Wow. Surveying the down-ballot wreckage for Republicans in VA. It's not pretty. Democratic wave. Details to come…

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving group of bigots and people who think they represent donors, not constituents (and either threaten or actually assault reporters asking SIMPLE questions).
Hey, Republicans… how is the scapegoating of immigrants working for you tonight? What a mistake! Backfired. Democrats are running the table! https://t.co/gLUdkT5p2v

Bernie Sanders refused to endorse Northam. Defeat for his brand of self-righteous, purist BS politics too. If you refuse to BE a Democrat, don't try to dictate to Democrats, bruh.
VA HOUSE OF DELEGATES: Democrats have already picked up 11 seats (2, 10, 13, 31, 32, 42, 50, 51, 67, 72, 73) and need 6 more for control. There are ~13 more GOP seats still in play.
You stand for nothing. Your endorsement destroyed Gillespie and VA Republicans. Tonight is your glimpse of your future. Atone and resign, Loser pic.twitter.com/JgLEoM04Ev

Dear @realDonaldTrump: It's morning in South Korea. Wanted to let you know Virginia voters rejected your views & your endorsed candidate in a bigly way. They elected Ralph Northam. Cheers. https://t.co/kijE6MzGCc
A big night for hope and justice. Trumpism defeated everywhere. More GOP retirements tomorrow. Dems win NY and VA governorships, win Medicaid expansion, on track to flip VA legislature.

History in Minnesota tonight as Andrea Jenkins officially wins a seat on the Minneapolis City Council, becoming the first out trans woman of color elected to public office in America. So far, two trans women elected tonight!
We're sick of the slaughter in our streets, the massacre of innocents We abhor the devaluation of immigrants We are tired of constant fear of losing healthcare You will not disrespect and degrade democracy
OMG, these cretins are so completely out of it. Cannot wait for their indictments.

Trump will deflect, misdirect, lie, and blame others in the coming days but he won't be able to change the reality of his massive defeat tonight. America comes (back) to its senses.
Democrat Chris Hurst, a former TV news anchor whose girlfriend was murdered on live TV in 2015, won his race for Virginia's House of Delegates on a platform to reduce gun violence.

From New Jersey, Maine and Virginia to Manchester and St. Pete Fla., voters rejected Trump's reckless agenda and embraced bold, progressive Democratic proposals to raise wages, expand access to quality, affordable health care and adopt smart gun-safety laws.

If only the fucking NH had its common sense on last year. They gave the turd a second wind after the scum lost IA.
Tonight was an enormous victory for an inclusive Virginia — congrats to Gov-elect @RalphNortham and the people of Virginia for rejecting the politics of hate and embracing opportunity for all

This Guy is a TRUE Dem.
Team Players. Kind & He worked his Nyash off for Dems!
88 nights ago, white supremacists marched with torches in Virginia. Tonight, Virginia elected Justin Fairfax its second African-American lieutenant governor.
Why you vote in state races: not just to have your side control the governor's mansion, but also for redistricting, clean vs dirty air, whether Medicaid gets expanded or cut, whether education gets funded or cut, and to elect the offices that control/protect your right to vote.
Thank you @BarackObama for showing what dignity and discipline in office look like. I hope you're smiling at Dem victories tonight.#Election2017 pic.twitter.com/Qy5M4osoiu
WINNERS TONIGHT: Democrats America Future generations
LOSERS TONIGHT: Trump/GOP Rightwing extremists The anti-Dem Sanders left#Election2017

time for dems to pull the trigger on bs & his bots. pun intended. let them take their fucking ball and go fucking home. no more pandering to these turd enablers.
Danica's victory is politics at its best: not the art of the possible, but the art of making the impossible possible. What once seemed impossible, that we could live our truth and pursue our dreams all at the same time, is now very possible. (1/2)
Amazingly, the current margin is 150 votes or less in 5 of the 7 VA HoD districts that are still too close to call. That means control will be decided by absentee/provisional ballots, and may not be determined for days.
Where we're at: —Dems win #NJGov, full control of NJ government —Dems win VA Gov, huge gains in VA Assembly (shock shot at majority) —Dems win mayorship in Charlotte, St. Petersburg, Manchester, NYC —Dems pick-up leg seats in NH & GA (x2) —Civil-rights attorney will be Philly DA
Yessss, I go to sleep with a huge smile and renewed hope re U.S. politics!
THANK YOU to all American citizens who were involved citizens during this voting period.
