I wasn’t aware that Bannon got involved with Ed Gillespie. He was definitely a swamp dweller so that is kind of surprising. I know he didn’t embrace Trump. Virginia has been turning blue because of the Beltway expansion. All those civil servants and federal contractors voting to keep the biggest federal government.
Yup. BIG TIME. The "swamp" or "inside the beltway" or whatever one wants to call it is FAR bigger than Party, because both are so into it, at least on that level. Property values also escalating (but don't worry about bad gentrification claims there because the blacks in DC, other than Obama and the like, have less representation, abiility to live, before and it is pouring out to Counties also that were, traditionally, 'bad areas." Ha. Maybe why B-More getting worse, the old feuds getting worse by "urbans" having to move into there? There also though, still weird phenomena, like MS-13 and Hispanic crime waves in areas. It is a weird deal.
