Torch-bearing white nationalists march ahead of alt-right rally(Charlottesville)

So, I guess that, now that we're nearly 20 pages in, I can say that this event probably secured a D hold on Virginia's governorship this year?

Not at all. This was not a Republican-affiliated event, just some racist nut jobs.  The race is still in play even if Northam has the lead.

Wishful thinking.

No, it's not.  Neither Gillespie nor the Republican Party has ever aligned itself with such sick people.  Gillespie will not pander to these thugs.

Gillespie pandered to these type of people with his stance on the monuments. The moderate/business type Republican is pretty much dead in VA when it comes to Governor and Senate races.

They can only win in special circumstances (ex. McConnell in 2009).

I presume you're referring to Bob McDonnell.  

Yeah, I had a brain fart.

It has been a long day.

The event had numerous College Republicans from UVA according to Twitter Users.

Does the UVA have the right to eject them for interacting with hate groups like the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc ?

I am a former Wahoo.

If they got into a fight or anything on grounds this could violate standards of conduct. But I am not a 100% sure.

Unpopular take, but legalizing prostitution might of helped these people.

Lol, this dude is taking a massive L this week.

So, who wants to bet Charlottesville becomes a watershed historical moment that helps define the Trump era? Seems a good bet.

I think it will be a turning point.

Honestly, it reminds me a bit of Birmingham in 63. Granted, it is not to that scale, but the imagery an videos from yesterday are awful.

Open and out there racism is just something all Americans are appalled by.

Trump is just bad at this job.

I mean I know he is clueless, but you would think he would get the optics of this correct and he manages to ****  that up.

Trump's finally starting to handle this well judging by the statement.

lol.

The bar is so low with this guy.
