Governor Coonman must have been hiding out in the Outer Banks of NC this weekend while the Capital city burned. He got back into town on Sunday night to issue an Executive Order banning the public from Capitol Square.
Barney Fife and the Cowardly Lion look like Chuck Norris compared to Northam.
And yes. Virginia will return to its natural Red. Particularly if Trump opens the flood gates holding the Swamp.
