Dorothy McAuliffe, the wife of Governor Terry McAulliffe, is considering a challenge to Congresswoman Barbara Comstock in the 10th Congressional district. From the Washington Post:
“I really am very seriously considering it,” Dorothy McAuliffe said during a brief interview Tuesday morning as she visited a Manassas middle school in the district,where the McAuliffes maintain a home. She quickly added that she enjoys serving as First Lady of Virginia. “But I currently have the best platform in the world,”she said. “I love my work being part of this administration.”
Her job as First Lady ends in January 2018 when the race for Congress will begin. In recent weeks Mrs. McAuliffe has been making calls to elected Democrats around the state regarding a possible run.
Mrs. Auliffe has the advantage of being married to a very popular Governor whose approval ratings have almost always been over 50%. His approval ratings are 20+% over his disapproval ratings.
As we have previously reported, here and here, Democrats are lining up to take on Congresswoman Comstock but they will have a difficult time beating Comstock in the 10th district. While Trump lost the 10th district by 10%, Comstock won her race by 6%.

[…] she will not run for Congress in the 10th district against Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. Just a few weeks ago Mrs.Auliffe was ‘seriously considering’ a run for Congress. Now, from the Washington […]
I just don’t see Comstock winning against McAuliffe with Trump in the White House. Trump is going to bury the Republican Party. The Democrat candidates are circling overhead in the 10th like vultures. Soon, the Dems will have so many vultures running in the 10th that the sun will not shine thru them all. I wonder how many times Barbie has called the power company for another bag of cash since Trump was crowned??? Barbie is going to need lots of loot to make it until November!
Republicans are going to lose the 10th, its not a matter of if but when.
Its possible that Trump is speeding up the process, but the root cause is (western) Fairfax and (eastern) Loudoun’s slow, inevitable slide into the demographic toilet. The types of people moving into those areas now simply don’t vote Republican, ever, regardless of who the candidate is. And a lot of the republican-leaning folks currently living there are moving further out or abandoning the area entirely.

I agree. California would be deep red without the immigration of the past thirty years. Now it is solid blue. Texas, believe it or not, is destined for the same fate in another 10 to 15 years. Yes, even Texas will be solid blue. Look at the numbers and the rate of change in the past twenty years. Virginia has already been flipped from red to blue for the same reasons. There is zero chance that any part of Northern Virginia can remain red, given the immigrant clustering in major population centers, and the 10th will probably flip in one of the next two cycles.
Trump is not accelerating the change. The change has been accelerating for decades. The Democrats have bet everything on immigrants to preserve their political power, which explains their opposition to any voter fraud reform, their support for massive immigration of refugees without public awareness or consent, their steadfast opposition to border control even when they know that compromises national security, and their treatment of illegal immigrants as pseudo-citizens by giving them driver’s licenses, welfare benefits, and “sanctuary” from law enforcement. Democrats have abandoned middle America, and are busy importing the voters they need to dominate American politics.
Trump is simply the first speed bump that Democrats have ever faced before, but it isn’t clear yet if he can change anything. Even if he can, I don’t see how he can do it fast enough to save Comstock. She has no chance to hold her seat in that district, and it doesn’t even matter which Democrat runs against her.
