4. Hopefully Virginia '21 was a one and done for GQP similar to Alabama for Dems and Doug Jones in '18

I can NOT believe Virginian's will be OK with what is going to happen to them in the next 4 years. 2025 can't come too soon for them I'm sure.

Too bad Jones lives in Alabama and not a Blue or even Swing state. He was a great Senator.
