Gov. Ralph Blackface (D-VA) declared last night that “Virginia is officially blue” after election results showed a complete Dem takeover of the state:
"I'm here to officially declare today, November 5, 2019, that Virginia is officially blue," Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam told a crowd of supporters in Richmond. https://t.co/NXiuk3cRFI

And how soon everyone forgot about this:

The lesson here for politicians is to NEVER RESIGN:
Remember how Ralph Northam's problems were going to destroy the Virginia Democratic party?#Pundits https://t.co/dpRBaUSy4p

Nine months ago most elected officials called on Gov. Ralph Northam to resign. He refused and, after tonight, he will govern alongside a state legislature controlled by his own party. https://t.co/EBoMpvjJDX

Well, at least for Dem politicians who get an assist from the media:
The press had a lot to do with saving them.

And don’t forget the Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax sexual assault scandal:
Two blackface scandals, a sexual assault accusation, and post-birth abortion comments did zero damage to Democrats in Virginia, now a solidly blue state. https://t.co/Ehf8xWcyMa

But Dems did have a little help as many races were unopposed:
The party of Jefferson Davis ran unopposed in my district. The Republicans had a write-in candidate for delegate. https://t.co/tRu1qT6lM7
