I’m watching the Nats-Cubs game (go Nats!), but I figured I’d post this live video stream of the final 2017 Virginia gubernatorial debate. Go Ralph!
P.S. See below the video for a few tweets I liked…
.@RalphNortham shows up for VA — as lt. governor and in our military in Desert Storm. Ed Gillespie is busy lobbying in DC. #VAGovDebate

A study in contrasts:
The @NRA is spending $1 million on Ed Gillespie's behalf.
Meanwhile, Ralph is proud of his F-rating. #VAGovDebate
— Ralph Northam (@RalphNortham) October 9, 2017
As an Army doctor and pediatric neurologist, Ralph’s been serving VA for years. Ed shows up for whoever pays him. #VAGovDebate
— Ralph Northam (@RalphNortham) October 9, 2017
BOOM: "I think a child neurologist is more qualified to deal with the opioid crisis than a DC lobbyist." @RalphNortham #VAGovDebate

Ed Gillespie "I'm the son of an immigrant" — who is for the Muslim ban and has spent entire campaign demonizing immigrants… #vagovdebate

FACT CHECK: Virginia's economy has grown by 5.1% since 2010, which is above the national average #VAGovDebate

Reminder: the NRA is spending $750K on buying Va politicians 8 days after Las Vegas. #VAGovDebate

En route to #VAGovDebate saw @EdWGillespie signs w/ add-on "don't erase history" stickers. Down in polls, break out the race-baiting.

GAFFE ALERT.
He's tried to avoid admitting he's pay-to-play Eddie all campaign long, but just did it on CAMERA. https://t.co/ao9BkRodJ7

Gillespie's party's response to opioid crisis=take away people's access to health care, particularly lower income, rural folks #VAGovDebate

Gillespie’s tax pan would cut VA public schools by over $400 mil, & cost 4,000 Teachers and 49,000 new pre-K spots https://t.co/la2RQ3yjV1

And of course Gillespie's tax cuts will disproportionately help the rich and hurt the poor. https://t.co/RfYwFcBG6p

With tonight’s final #VAGovDebate, @RalphNortham once again showed why he’s ready to be our next governor & fight for our values. 29 days!

Civil? Nearly all of Gillespie’s paid media features race-baiting attacks that paint Northam as soft on gang rapists & child molesters. https://t.co/ezr7yity96

des·per·ate: @EdWGillespie attacking @RalphNortham for working as a pediatric neurologist while also serving as LG (a part-time role in VA) https://t.co/0aMyCoBM6X

Contrast this with @EdWGillespie: a career built on dolling out corporate favors and race/gay-baiting to win elections. It's an easy choice.
