With Nixon and presidents before him, the pattern shifts. But in the ~50 years since Nixon, a member of the sitting president’s party has won the VA Governorship only once. It was Terry McAuliffe in 2013, with less vote share than he likely got tonight.

Glenn Miller, tax attorney at Katten, placed an article in Quillette last September (quillette.com/2020/09/23/ral…), donated to Bob McDonnell in 2009 and Mitt Romney in 2012, even a GOP AG in WV. He threw a few hundred bucks to BdB in 2016, but nothing on record for Hillary or Biden.
Why do we have to do Jeremy Peters’ fuckin job for him, and why don’t we get paid for it?

Let’s say they didn’t plan the violence inside the Capitol blow by blow; they just assembled and riled up a mob, put them on the march to the Hill, and when it turned into the fight their speeches called for, either took no action or restrained efforts to lift the siege. No case?
This sort of thing happened in the Russia case too. It became entirely about cloak and dagger collusion, and the allure and difficulty of proving that scenario subsumed everything else that was right in front of our eyes — like a president welcoming an attack on the United States
