(9,457 posts)surprise. I'm more concerned with Hillary having to go back into VA with money and/or appearances when she's expanded the battleground map. I'm not worried about Trump winning Virginia, just him or his campaigners making Hillary fight there and take resources from Texas, AZ or Missouri campaigns.

(10,857 posts)The amusing part is that they've already given up on Virginia at least twice, which almost certainly means that this "effort" is designed to please some high-dollar donor who is threatening to take back a donation, or not provide more.
The money is what's really important to Trump. Those are the start-up funds for his television empire!
