Don't know...but based on his FB account he was definitely a Bernie or Buster.

Yeah, he worked/volunteered for Bernie's campaign apparently.

If he and millions of others hadn't made such a foolish decision he would still be alive today.

What we used to call “moderate Republicans” in Virginia, we may have to call “Democrats” now. It may very well be the case that a lot of the old country club Republicans — or “Rockefeller Republicans” — don’t associate with the party like they used to, because of Trump. Some of them may even be voting on the Democratic side now.

The reason I say that is because Hillary Clinton won Virginia by 5 points last year over Trump. That shocked a lot of people — not just that she won it, but that she won it handily in an election where every other Southern state went for Trump. It may be because Virginia Republicans have had this ongoing civil war, and that the casualty is the moderate Republican who says, “I can’t take this anymore; I’m going to vote for the Democrat who is business-friendly and talks about economic development.”

That’s what [outgoing Gov.] Terry McAuliffe [D-VA] did. That’s what Northam has done. So that may be what’s going on the Republican side.

Gillespie wanted to run, and tried to run, as a classic ‘80s and ‘90s social conservative, as a George H.W. Bush Republican. Corey Stewart ran as “Donald Trump Jr. with a rebel jacket on.” Those are two completely different political creatures. There’s almost no comparison between the two.

They both would have supported lower taxes and a smaller governmental footprint; beyond that, Corey Stewart probably would have spent a lot of his time using state resources to round up immigrants and pass laws protecting Confederate monuments. Gillespie wouldn’t want anything to do with that stuff unless he was forced to.

In the last week, I’ve had five dozen people at various places where I’m talking comment to that commercial to me. None negatively. And it made me realize that, over the last few months, Northam really has become a progressive on the campaign trail.

He responded to a progressive challenger by becoming a progressive himself. He did what a lot of people weren’t sure he could do, which was to become a progressive.
