What's my name? - Dave Brat vs Abigail Spanberger debate summarized in under 3 minutes.

[@OscarMaris]

Plot twist: this guy is Nancy Pelosi's ex husband

[@stevevalkos6308]

you think he would have thrown Soros in there a few times

[@richardmarshall6751]

I will if Dave won't. I have a fistful of anti-Brat mailings that make ridiculous claims about Brat "raising taxes" and causing health insurance rates to increase, which is about the most ironic example of the pot calling the kettle black, given that there was no one thing that did more to raise our health care cost (and lower the quality of care delivered..) than the ACA, aka ObamaCare. Anyway, my point is: most of these mailings don't come from the Spanberger campaign, rather they list some nebulous web site, like WWW.retakecongress.com. Who do you think is behind these PACs? Let me help you: GS.

[@brucebartup6161]

Richard Marshall and others George Soros in penitence but not expiation donates small but opportune amounts of money to a wide variety of progressive and moderate liberal causes and campaigns. In any specific case the accounts kept by most of his beneficiaries verify this. The "Scary Jew" picture of Soros Painted by the Trump supporting fraternity is a joke, an object of derision. A falsehood so easily proved false.

[@mesaeddie]

Did he say Nancy Pelosi?

[@Timothy--vb7rr]

No. He said Jabba the hut. ?????

[@jackiejns983]

Drink!

[@ranapipian3832]

I dunno, maybe he should have repeated it.

[@vinista256]

At least he didn’t get Nancy mixed up with Nikki Haley … ? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@omarrehman4520]

Good lord...everyone in the audience just started chuckling at every mention of Pelosi...out of ridicule. Even the moderator was tired of it! Spanberger mic-dropped at the end. Good for her!

[@Timothy--vb7rr]

The sound has been altered. It never got that loud. Watch the whole debate. You want jobs or you want government??

[@Trendyflute]

@2 Timothy The sound has not been altered, you liar! YOU LIAR! YOU REALITY-DESTROYING LIAR!!! YOU HAVE NO FACTUAL BASIS FOR YOUR LIES YOU SCUMBAG!!! REPUBLICANS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT LIES AND YOU PROVE IT. Thank you 2 Timothy 3 :1-5 for demonstrating why the GOP must be destroyed. Without lies they are NOTHING!

[@jackiejns983]

DRINK!

[@luminous8024]

@C C Your last sentence really makes me think you are a Russian bot. How's the vodka nowadays?

[@richardmarshall6751]

Spanberger's snarky smiling and smug self-satisfied demeanor is indicative of the the GenX and Millennial Progressive, as epitomized by Jon Stewart. The eye-roll, "if I have to explain" looks are the sure sign of someone that thinks they know better.

[@rivercityrhythmrva6089]

He def just reenforced why I'll vote for Spanberger :)

[@DciZNoble6]

@Graf Guy dude didn't explain shit in this debate, he will lose just like other Republicans taking this boogie man angle.

[@Trendyflute]

@Graf Guy you have zero basis for saying that. You are a liar like every Republican. Republicans offer the world nothing but misery, fear, and corruption anymore.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

I'm from Richmond and I'm voting for Dave Brat! Red Wave.

[@michaelviolette3395]

Voting for someone who wants Nancy Pelosi as the speaker of the house is your problem.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

[@hannahpocock4152]

Check 'Women of Congress' there is a reference to this there.

[@chaosknight8428]

The amount of times Brat mentioned Nancy Pelosi during this debate is hilarious. If we turned saying Nancy Pelosi into a drinking game, then the number of times he mentioned Nancy Pelosi would give everyone alcohol poisoning. As it turns out, saying Nancy Pelosi over and over again was a bad idea and now Brat is out of a job. Thanks Nancy Pelosi for being Nancy Pelosi Have I said Nancy Pelosi enough times now?

[@Louie914]

I really can't blame him. I've seen that work in Louisiana,Mississippi and Alabama for years. The ignorant,deplorable ppl there fall for it every time.

[@akg4y]

This is so great. Went to a meet and greet for her today and she is down to Earth, funny, and insanely smart. She should be running for president in 6 or 10 years.

[@richardmarshall6751]

Yes, she is funny and smart and highly likely, but that doesn't make her a good fit for Congress. There is nothing I see on her website or in her mailings that talks about what is important to me: namely reigning in the overreach of government, and being vigilant against the corrosive partisan use of our government agencies for political ends. Somehow people knew that when Hoover was using his FBI to spy and intimidate Americans it was really bad stuff, and yet we just saw high level FBI agents shilling and vocally supporting the Democrat candidate for president and there were no indictments!? We also saw the IRS use their power to pressure groups that were not aligned with then President Obama, and no one seems too excited about it. This is really bad behaviour of the most un-American and Soviet-esque that can be imagined, the stuff that G. Orwell warned us about in his writings, and yet crickets from the progressive Left. Dave Brat is one of the few that stands up to the Deep State, and we need him now more than ever!

[@akg4y]

@C C you sound like a crazy nut

[@richardmarshall6751]

Funny, smart and down to Earth, but completely on the wrong side of each issue. Ask her about the abuse of power of FBI agents shilling for Hillary during the last election, cause I haven't heard her mention it. She should be outraged, as a "former CIA agent", all pumped up with that public service jive she is always flinging around. Or how doe she feel about the idea of a carbon tax to "do something!" about global warming? Bet she supports it, and it is a terrible idea. For anyone just starting their professional career, they better think twice before electing more job and wealth killing SJWs. Oh, it feels so good to be self-righteous and fight for Justice!, but when the economy tanks and you cannot start building wealth, own a house, save for your kid's education, you will rue to day you supported this nonsense.

[@steviestephens3301]

Spanberger didn't mention Trump. She dealt with the issues head on that were presented. Did you even watch the debate? From the first question, Brat made it clear that he wasn't there to argue policy, he was only there to attempt to paint her in a bad light.

INSTANT CLASSIC! .... I just LOVE the look on his face at the end as the crowd roars and he shifts nervously from side to side, knowing that in a minute and a half Abigail Spanberger had just sent him to the unemployment line. Since then she beat another Republican in this district that has been Republican for ages. She's not kidding about hard work. Our Abby works incredibly hard for the people and serves everyone, not just her party. She works across the aisle, getting the people's business done.

[@richardmarshall6751]

The 7th district gave the shot that was heard round the world when we deposed Eric Cantor for not fighting the good fight against the ACA and the rest of the progressive agenda, and replaced him with a real fighter, Dave Brat. I see the myopic comments to the effect: "what has Brat done for me?", like they are holding their hand out waiting for a welfare check. What Dave Brat has done is to push back against the encroachment of government in the form of new programs and regulations. These are the two Gemini Twins of anti-growth and anti-prosperity; high taxes and excessive regulations. Dave Brat has done us all an immense good deed in standing tall against these corrosive elements, which is much more important and impactful in the long run that sponsoring ill-conceived special interest programs that enrich some in the district at the expense of others, while feeding the government beast. Please, let's think about the big picture- prosperity comes with smaller government, full stop.

[@jaybird4064]

@C C I'm not a Democrat dumb ass. Read what I said. I voted Trump and have been a Supporter since before it was cool. But I'm glad your motivated. So get your ass to the polls and vote Republican. Vote Corey Stewart. Vote Dave Brat. I've been to his victory parties. His 2016 party was one of the best nights of my life
