In his first year as president, HW Bush saw his party lose the VA and NJ gubernatorial races. So did Clinton. And W Bush. And Obama. And Trump.

If Phil Murphy hangs on, Biden will actually be one up on his recent predecessors.

1. Looks like he will at this time,

Hope that doesn't change.

Too bad the media won't play it that way. They can't seem to get enough of the "ooooooh this is bad for Biden Dems better move to the right!!!!" storyline.

4. We always feel angst when we lose but we need to face reality.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try .

6. RIGHT !!! Looking at the facts we actually didn't do bad. McCauliffe getting beat by only 2% should

... be the bombshell historically seeing what happened in 2009

I don't know why McCauliffe even ran !!

There has NEVER been an incumbent VA gov win the election if their party wins the white house and ther were some local issues that McCauliffe didn't address.

Also, Youngkin ran away from Putin's Whore hard in the general where McCauliffe didn't visually tie the two BEFORE the primaries were over.

There's NO WAY nationally the GQP is going to be able to run from Trump ... no way.

Also, there was a 19% swing of non college educated white women ... we need to find out why.

We also lost NJ in 2009 ... Looks like we're going to win it now
