While this post originates for personal purposes it does bring to mind something that I'd hoped would have come from Virginia's 'peaceful protests' last winter.
The demonrats took Virginia by 5% +/-, Trump could have worked VA a bit with some rallies[held one in Va Beach/Hampton] playing off of the gun owner enthusiasm.
While NOtva dominates in shear numbers there is also a large Latino population there. A rally in that region wouldn't have hurt IMO.
Look at D.C.'s spread- 95/5 for Joseph B and tack on a couple million in NOTva, I honestly think he could have dented Fairfax/Loudon etc
Just my .02 worth
