If they just clap their hands long enough, and hard enough, Tinkerbelle will come back to life.

Traditionally in VA, there's what I call the Gillespie GOPers.

The ones that never answer pollers, but toddle off every November to try to set the Commonwealth a hundred years back.

And resist any attempt to remove commerative highway signs noting Confederate movements/etc.

I just jump up Repug polls by 5 percentage points (e.g. if 42% are saying they are voting for Repugs, that's really 47%.)

Just as is all the "inflation" spew. No mention of the fact that the Dems are the ones who have gained more seats with redistricting. Funny how that works, eh?
