the same team Brat used in 2014 they're probably going to move the needle. Win? Certainly hope not.

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.

He's down over 10% in VA. It's either appearances or he's confirming he's a horrible business person by wasting money.

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!

trying to get Hillary to think they will contest Virginia so she'll rethink resources in Texas and Arizona. She won't bite. Virginia is pretty safe, IMHO
