The Democratic Party has decided not to spend much money or effort in VA-07 even with Eric Cantor gone. It's a solidly (gerrymandered) Red district(56%), but with a strong GOTV effort, maybe this Brat guy can be defeated. He lied about going to Princeton (he attended Princeton Seminary) and he couldn't answer Chuck Todd's questions this morning about Minimum Wage and Syria. But if Jack Trammell is to have a chance, we need to send him $5 and help out wherever we can.
I'm so glad to see that asshole Cantor out of Congress!

(15,080 posts)I have the opposite problem - I'm in a solidly RED district with Greg Walden as our Rep. (Southern Oregon). So I can afford to donate to both of those candidates. Thanks for the links.

(95,337 posts)There are so many great races out there but this one is a total uphill battle for the democrats. I'd rather help out in races where it's much closer and a chance to remove a republican like the governor races in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida.
That doesn't mean I won't donate but it's too early right now and it's a district built to ensure a GOPer wins.
