In a recent Morning Consult poll, Republican Senate candidates lead over Democrats by an average of 6.9% in 7 of the 12 states with Senate races this November. According to the polling, Democrats lead in 5 of the 12 states but only by 2.6%. Here’s the really good news, from ntknetwork.com:
Perhaps most surprisingly, in Virginia, where popular Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) is up for reelection, the generic Democrat is only holding on to a three-point lead over a generic Republican. Could Kaine be in trouble in 2018? Whether or not that’s the case, it’s clear the Senate map continues to favor Republicans at this point.
If this lead holds in November Republicans would dominate the Senate 56-44.
Let’s get busy and nominate this guy June 12th and send him to the Senate in November.

Didn’t the later polls also say Gillespie had a chance?
Yes they did and this poll *just* speaks of Democrat vulnerability not that Freitas has a chance.
Don’t gamble on Freitas.
That being said Kaine will play a tune with the country folks from ______ County ( for Freitas to figure out) to _______ County.
Although Freitas is a Combat Veteran he has or is *not* a Veteran on the war of illegal immigration in Virginia.
That would be the experienced
Citizen General , Mr.Corey Stewart.
Yes there are Miltary Veterans all across Virginia but are there as many to support him ares would like to eradicate the growth of dope and and the detrimental disparaging effects of the libertarian and liberalism open boarders that have forced our communities to deal with.
Corey Stewart is the only Republican to stand up to the establishment Santurary providing Republicans and liberalism of the Democrats.
A libertarian or acting conservative republican cannot defeat senator kaine. To defeat senator kaine you will need to be ” hard line ” opposite, very different and non establishment. Bishop Jackson and Corey Stewart provide this kind of necessary difference. (IMHO) State wide name recognition is also something both these candidates provide.
As long as Blankenship does not win next door, I like our chances of winning in WV.

All of sudden, Nick what’s his face, from California, is the best thing since sliced bread. We were promised that if we just voted for sliced bread last year, and played it safe, we would have a Republican governor and at least have some semblance of a respectable state. How did that work out?
The tough talk of Liberty and Freedom is mere Campaign talk.
When elected and in control of both houses and Executive branch the run to play cards with Granny’s Bridge club.
1) Bush’s first term
2) McDonnell and Cuccinelli term
3)Trump’s first term
4) Delegate Nick Freitas himself
They won’t give us Term Limits therefore we must limit their term to just be elected to seek riches $$$$$$
The necessary difference must be ” stark ” for a successful challenge against the liberal kaine (no liberal-tarians will have victory) ” for the republican party sets its own sail, reveals its own sword to draw, its steadfast core base birthed from pure republicanism ” This force of ” pure republicanism ” is representative and self evident of both Jackson and Stewart. (and they both have such battle cry last names) ; ))
Some of his endorsements and contributions are very questionable.
I have grave concerns the talkaterian won’t stand behind the Commander and Chief
Bridge For Sale: Offering the iconic 14th Street Bridge connecting Arlington, Va. to Washington, DC to highest bidder.
Well sure if you want to have Generic Republicans.
I think we throw in a Wild Card, Mr. Unity, Corey Stewart!!!
How is Nick a generic Republican? Ed Gillespie is a generic Republican, George Allen is a generic Republican, Jim Gilmore is a generic Republican, Bill Bolling is a generic Republican. Nick Freitas is nothing near a generic Republican.
I just look at the endorsements and where the establishment lines up.
I’ll back the nominee, but I want the Trump mojo that Corey has the most of.
Nick was too #NEVER to be my first pick and I think that EW is not acceptable statewide.
We’ll agree to disagree, then.
For now, I will see you after the primary right?
I take notice that a day has gone by with no response to your question above.
The whole kitten kaboodle
made Trump sign a Pledge of support/loyalty.
I think at this point checkmate is in play.
At this point The Bull Elephant must post a story of support of loyalty to the Republican Nominee for Senate to be a legitimate Republican blog.
If not they are a mere libertarian blog and that holds a great deal of difference.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Or is this a paid for propaganda blog?
Oh and stop with the erroneous racist crap.
Nick is more worried about Carrier Pigeons on Cocaine than Cocaine or Crack in Virginia.
Corey has many great attributes, but he’s not a unifier and BLUE Virginia needs that.
Just look at how he’s united the GOP establishment against him since 2016.
You want to put a stick in the eye of libertarians, tea party, establishment, RINO’s simultaneously?? Go Corey!!!
Corey pulls the Silent Majority.
All this “Liberty” crap is just words out of Nick’s campaign. What’s to prevent the Democrats from just overturning or “reinterpreting” everything NIck thinks is supposedly less government interference anyway?
Nick appears acceptable on the surface that is all.
1) On illegal immigration he is lacking the fortitude to deport or show a desire in the General Assembly to tax them and or see that their illegal employers see a proper adjudication process, scales of Justice thing.
2)He said he would get Congress to allow Trump to strike terrorists countries.
This is an indication that he will obstruct Trump.
3) I don’t desire the legalization of Pot!
4) Then he took 1,500.00 from Syncronized Construction Services Inc who was given Track improvements of Orange County High school
I am extremely wary of him.
I will cast for Kaine if Freitas wins because I understand the desire to end the illegal employment.
All jokes aside I do have credible concerns.
I fear Biden or even worse McAuliffe in 2020 and Herring for our Governor in 2021 and If Freitas is not in step with Trump 100% this is the future for us.
These are all legitimate concerns.
You forgot about how Freitas’ campaign paid Bob McDonnell just before McD endorsed Nick.
I used to vote Republican across the board.
I wholeheartedly supported
Bush 1st time, then the second, then he ripped my heart apart.
Then I wholeheartedly supported Cuccinelli and the BSer McDonnell.
My family will never be the same as it was before 3 these liars.
Republicans are supposed to support the family, not destroy them.
NO I made a personal vow never to support anyone tied to these 3.
Freitas gave McDonnell $3,000.00 for that endorsement.
He will fall in step with the Republicans on Capitol Hill that are against the President.
Biden and McAuliffe will be using the war on women against Trump in 2020.
The other Republicans that stand against Trump will be the tipping point.
Folks that do not see this are blinded by the speach on the GA Floor.
Similarities of Obamas Speach that propelled him.
This is a path that the Country and Virginia will not be able to return from.
But the Nick will have 6 Years in the limelight.
What are Delegate Freitas ‘ s accomplishments in the Virginia Assembly ?
1)____0___
2)____0___
3)____0___
Say no to buckshot.
IF a “unifier” means someone who is afraid to stick up for American values, is afraid to ever take a controversial stand, and is afraid to back what he believes in before conducting at least 3 opinion polls, than no, Corey is not going to be the candidate for every Virginian.
If one truly believes in ” blue Virginia ” then you have already saddled the horse for kaine. To carve out no focus on the depth of ” Virginia red ” no positive voice or vision other than stating ” your in the blue ” so you need that ?? This is further reasoning why it should be either Stewart or Jackson.
Say No! to the legalization of POT.
Liberty Rising, some act like it is dead.
The exploitation of foreigners at the expense of Americanism is not Liberty.
Yes,
If he is so great then polish him up and prepare him to run against Herring for Governor in 2021.
liberal-tarians want Nearly everything legal and no standing army and are merely another kind of ” European socialism ” this is for real…..and this is their short scary list.
We need Nick Freitas on the ballot, it pulls up all the congressional candidates and will light the grassroots on fire!
There are ONLY two forms of Liberty Rising;
Americanism and
Liberty University
There are all different kinds of polls.
Was Trump down in the political polls?
Did Trump win?
Kyle Petty once won a poll but never panned out as a good driver.
Then there is the American flag pole , a top of that pile sits a ball, the shot heard around the world.
We are in the midst of an American Revolution ant the ONLY Candidate for that is Mr Corey Stewart!
Long live Americanism!
***Help Take Back Virginia****
vote
Corey Stewart on June 12
Trump was down in Virginia’s polls and lost Virginia.
Trump lost to the Yankee libertarians
Hillary is neither a libertarian nor a Yankee. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
Hillary was from Illinois, not Arkansas, so yes she is a Yankee. And she acted like one too.
With all due respect, Nothing compares to Trump, he is and remains an outsider playing within. He is a worker, builder investor, A pure capitalist born of republicanism of the founding fathers mentality of In God We Trust. Trump will be nearly impossible to follow in 2024. Locating such an inspiring American who refuses the lobbyist, any kind of fee for his service and telling the world ” we have had it, with being hung out to dry ” will be next to impossible. believe it. Trump is…..well…Trump. And that’s the real truth. (IMHO)
We the people are so Very fortunate to have him…at this place in history. I cannot stress this any stronger than to say ” WE ARE PRAYERFUL BLESSED ” Amen !
McAuliffe is one of Bill Clinton’s best friends – his bag man. There are now non=Virginians on our voter rolls and Northam won’t allow them to be cleaned up. We also have the curse of Northern Virginia counties to deal with.
#LibertyRising
#TakeBackVirginia. #MVGA!
Amen, it’s one and the same.
