Glen Youngkin - Michigan Rally: "A year ago, all the DC pundits said Republicans couldn’t win in Virginia. They said, Virginia’s blue, and the GOP can’t win the suburbs.

We won votes from people who had never voted Republican in their lives

Now it’s your turn Michigan!"

So... that’s his biggest fault... he didn’t full-force embrace Trump in a state that is centrist at best?

You stated he would switch positions... what positions has he compromised? Still waiting on that. I would recommend you refer to his position points at ontheissues.org and tell me which ones he departed from. I’ll wait.

Youngkin’s positive demeanor and enthusiasm for America remind me of Reagan. Virginia came through a pretty dark time before finally waking up and electing the Youngkin/Sears/Miyares team.

We are Ronald Reagan's army.

Just like there was an Arnie's Army there is quite a few conservatives out here who like Youngkin's image.

We like President Trump.

[ScottinVA]

Exactly. I like both Youngkin and Trump.

[ScottinVA]

aides to Republican Glenn Youngkin’s campaign for governor panicked.

You're quoting MSN here. Do you really believe their BS?

[central_va]

Listen Republican, listen good. MAGA ia taking over the party, Youngkin is a throw back.

Youngkin should have asked Trump to campaign with him, he didn't. We PATRIOTS will not forget that. I DON'T TRUST HIM AND I DON'T TRUST YOU OR ANY OTHER OLD SCHOOL NEOCON GOP A$$HAT.

PS: I hope YoungKing wanna bee will fade away after his one term.

[ScottinVA]

OK... you concede Youngkin didn’t flip-flop on any positions.

You can long for everyone from Amanda Chase to Ralph Northam because you “don’t trust” Youngkin. The fact remains, he is our governor. Do you equally despise Lt. Gov. Sears and AG Miyares? Until you can actually present the case he’s a shitty chief executive for the Commonwealth of Virginia, you have no case.

[ScottinVA]

I DON'T TRUST HIM AND I DON'T TRUST YOU OR ANY OTHER OLD SCHOOL NEOCON GOP A$$HAT.

You need to take your meds and settle down. We had a factual give-and-take until now.

[central_va]

Fact: Youngkin did not embrace Trump during his canpaign. THAT WAS HUGE MISTAKE AND HE RUINED HIS MAGA STREET CRED FOREVER.

[ScottinVA]

Yet... Trump endorsed him, and still favors him.

A number of people here are still butthurt that Youngkin didn’t lose like they promised he would.

Exactly. After eight years of corrupt leftist government, we finally have a damned good governing team in Richmond, and still the whining continues. I say let 'em whine.

Fact: Youngkin did not embrace Trump during his canpaign. THAT WAS HUGE MISTAKE AND HE RUINED HIS MAGA STREET CRED FOREVER.

Fact: Youngkin won! He flipped a blue state that Trump couldn't win! And he won with the help of both Trump voters and people in the NoVa suburbs who loathed Trump.

Youngkin ran a perfect campaign. Would you have preferred McAulliffe won so you can cling to your narrative?

[I want to know]

Yet... Trump endorsed him, and still favors him.

Exactly. And further reading of the WSJ article posted above shows it was strategic planning from both Trump and Youngkin which aided Youngkin in winning the governorship.

Yep. To win, Youngkin threaded the needle perfectly.

Youngkin lucked out, timing favored him........when he ran, he was sucked into the newborn churning vortex of parents vs school boards.

He couldn’t possibly achieve the hopes pinned on him.....but he tried.

Nevertheless what gave him luster was his killing a covey of demrats who stupidly campaigned for sure thing mcawful......including jojo himself, kammy and spacey abrams.

ASFAIK, after this debacle, none of them has surfaced as a Dem backer.

[central_va]

Youngkin ran a perfect campaign.

Perfect my a$$. He could have campaigned WITH Trump and won even bigger.

[Drew68]

Perfect my a$$. He could have campaigned WITH Trump and won even bigger.

Delusional. Trump was toxic to the NoVa suburbs. That's why he lost the state twice.

Fortunately for Youngkin (and Virginia) Trump was smart enough to accept this political reality and wisely kept his distance.

[central_va]

Screw that. Also, as much as this hurts TDS RINOs DeSantis is not running in ‘24.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Exactly. I like both Youngkin and Trump.

Me too!!!

The MSM does not have a clue and they do not like it!

Partner, the MSM is tring to cheat as much as they can but it will not help since Bozo Biden is so bad and we know that Bozo Biden stole the election and Bozo Biden's FBI got into Mar-A-Largo and stole the documents that belonged to President Trump in the first place.

The MSM can not live with the facts.
