Not that I’m aware of. I did find this explaining that he signed an executive order restoring the voting rights of 206,000 ex-felons who had finished their sentences and their supervised release.

And that Virginia is one of only 10 states that do not automatically restore rights upon completion of a felony sentence.

That is correct - ex-felons.

Do the felons have their gun rights restored too Sy Noe? (I am not pushing for or against that here. I just want to know if this occurrs)

I think the Bernie people got their 15 minutes fame and will begin to fade. They and the green party people made a little noise but they aren’t winning any elections.

The economy will have something to do with it too. If we are roaring along Penn, Ohio, and Wisc voters will say “Let’s do it again!”. If the economy is slumping dems will have a chance to regain those states. Didn’t Pennsylvania just open a new coal mine? The first in years?

This is what I mean:

The nation was watching Virginia as a political laboratory for how the political parties handle the deep divisions that followed last year’s election of President Trump. The establishment forces seemed to win out, as Virginia voters resisted efforts to pull further to the right or left.

Perriello channeled the energy — and endorsement — of progressive leader Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as he tried to shake up the Democratic Party, but fell short in his bid to bring in enough new voters from among the young and working class to overcome Northam’s command of the Democratic machine, including the endorsement of nearly every Democratic elected leader in state or federal office.

Bernie is running around endorsing these people. Then they lose. They make a little squeak, but they are not winning anything.

Well someone from New York is in the WH today who received less than 50% of the vote, less than Hillary Clinton even.

My point was merely that he is not a Virginian except by accident and that he did not do well with rural voters.

I don’t think he would have won had there not been the taint of scandal over the then-current Republican governor, which tended to sour people on his attorney-general, who was the Republican candidate for governor. Virginia has changed from Red to Purple, but we’re not Blue yet.

Please note that I am only referring to his popularity or lack thereof. I am not casting aspersions on his legitimacy as governor.

Eh, I don’t begrudge people’s daydreaming about the future. Think of where many of us were at in June of 2009: wistfully looking ahead to 2012 or 2016. 😛

I haven’t heard of most of the people being mentioned in this thread. That’s not an insurmountable obstacle, especially this far out. I’m sure we’ll start to hear more and more of them. All they have to do is issue a statement condemning one of Trump’s ill-conceived tweets and they’ll be a household name. 😛

Why ask me? I’m sure you know the answer already if you read the article I posted. Restoration of firearm rights requires court action. And it would seem a bit strange to me to make an apples to apples comparison of the right to simply cast a ballot with the right to possess and use a firearm. Not that you are pushing for or against that here.

I was getting WVa nd Va confused. I forgot Va boarders DC. He didn’t win rural vote?

Being like Clinton is why I think he will get it. He doesn’t have to carry the Clinton name that people are getting tired of. Age is on his side too. He is 10-18 years younger than the others.

VA has swung left because of Loudon and Fairfax counties (the chicago effect). The rest of the state by and large is very red.

So shall we add states and not only have VA and WV but maybe add to the north and south ones and have N VA and S VA and while we’re at it N FL and S FL too?

They are all tight states too. NC for similar reasons to VA but due to the research triangle.

Indeed, some folks are just now looking for a fix after there post-electoral politics withdrawal.

Ah, but the way some talk, the right to a firearm is even **more **basic than the right to vote.

I don’t think he would be the strongest candidate for the Dems, but I’m guessing any Dem is gojng to have a huge advantage in 2020 unless Trump somehow leaves office.
 
I don’t see why Terry McCauliffe is talking about a 2020 run; according to him, the entire population of the United States will have been exterminated by next Monday:

realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/06/14/mcauliffe_calls_for_gun_control_after_republican_shooting_we_lose_93_million_people_a_day.html
“This is not what today is about but there are too many guns on the street,” the governor said Wednesday morning. “We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”

Anyone that incoherent has less of a chance than Hillary of winning in 2020.

Come on; people love incoherence: Bush, Obama, now Trump. Hillary was too polished, too rehearsed, too coherent.

😛 I don’t think I’ve ever discounted someone from consideration for office because they misspoke on occasion. It happens to all of us sometimes. When someone speaks in front of a public audience that much, they are bound to say something off here and there. Like when everyone jumped on Obama for saying there were 57 states. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal of such things. It just seems petty to me. 🤷 There are generally enough legitimate things to criticize a politician for. 😛
 
Nah, Terry doesn’t scare Trump. Now take Mark Cuban or one of the other sharks…🙂
