(8,380 posts)My husband, a good and decent man, grew up in a Republican area with Republican parents. He was a "fiscally conservative" Republican. He voted for "W" twice. With time, with education, and with eyes wide open, he has voted for every Democratic candidate since and including Obama. Including Hillary Clinton, Ralph Northam. and Tim Kaine. Granted, my husband's not running for office, but I'd say he's now doing "a lot better."
I'm weary of this crap. I'm sorry for my neighbors and fellow Virginians, Americans, people who are of color. I'm so sorry for the hurt and continual, never-ending crap you put up with. I will say, though, that I'm also not smart enough to say what Northam or the party should do. I'm a Virginian who could never have voted for Gillespie or Stewart. I did vote for Tom Perriello in the primary, but when Northam won, I voted for him. He's an imperfect person - and aren't we all?
