    Also worth noting about Corey Stewart’s victory tonight: Stewart was able to win due to big margins in wealthy Republican areas in Northern Virginia Like with Trump (and contrary to popular narratives) Stewart’s core base is wealthy Republicans in suburban areas pic.twitter.com/4z1SqLQrX8

        Which is why I get tired of being called a Trump supporter. I am working class white, but I cannot stand Trump. The Democrats really need to stop stereotyping us. It is very insulting.

        I guess they're protecting their money? As long as they keep oppressing and dividing us, we won't be able to unite and overcome.

        That’s really sad. Isn’t that a new trend? The rich used to lean left after they made sufficient amounts of money to feel “Set”.

        Wasn’t Trump’s biggest demographic uneducated and low income though?

        Not at all. The average Trump voter had an income north of $75k/yr and lived in a suburb or exurb with a relatively low cost of living. Trump was elected mostly by the same people who voted for GWB, McCain, and Romney.

        one BIG factor in Corey Stewart's win that's not been discussed: Many democrats voted for Stewart to ensure an unwinnable Republican candidate. Freitas had a shot. Jackson is, was, and will be, a joke, whose only job is to be a candidate to fleece rubes. Kaine trounces Stewart.
