Democrats Desperate in Virginia
The Other McCain ^ | 18 Oct 2018 | Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 10/18/2021 2:45:10 PM PDT by Rummyfan

You can tell by the TV ads that are running in the D.C. metro market that the Terry McAuliffe campaign is in deep trouble. The essence of the Democrat’s pitch, in the off-year gubernatorial campaign, is that Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin is a puppet of Donald Trump.

Let’s be clear about just who Glenn Youngkin actually is — a Richmond native who attended Rice University on a basketball scholarship (he’s 6-7), majored in engineering and management, and later got an MBA from Harvard. He spent 25 years with the Carlyle Group investment firm. If he is, or ever was, an extremist, nobody has discovered any evidence of this. Youngkin is Mister Clean, a calm and level-headed businessman without scandals in his past, and this is why the only way the McAuliffe campaign can try to attack him is by playing the “Orange Man Bad” card.

It should not be necessary for McAuliffe to attack Youngkin at all. A former governor, McAuliffe has near-100% name recognition in Virginia, while Youngkin is a little-known political newcomer. Virginia has been trending “blue” for the past 15 years; Hillary won Virginia 50%-44% in 2016, and Biden won the state by a 10-point margin last year.

Terry McAuliffe would have been cruising toward a November landslide, were it not for the disastrous failure of Joe Biden’s presidency. Since early August, Biden’s job-approval number in the RCP average has dropped about 7 points, while disapproval has risen by 9 points. Biden has been “underwater” in the polls for six weeks and, now that Americans are increasingly concerned abourt shortages of basic consumer goods because of the supply-chain issue, there is little hope of recovery.

Unless they are decorating lamp posts they are not desperate.

Carlyle Group is a Charter Member of the Deep State so claiming Youngkin is some kind of wild-eyed Trump radical is simply ludicrous.

Correct but Democrats and the Ministry of Propaganda never let the truth get in the way of the narrative.

I’ll bet that last minute “vote arrivals” will create a Dimbulbcrat winner.
No, I’ll guarantee that.
And this will continue until VA (and the rest of us) remember that bit about “consent of the governed”.

McSteal insurance policy and election fortification measures are being called up as we speak.

The VA race is reminiscent of Maryland 2014, when Larry Hogan won by a surprising margin. We knew it was over in Maryland when the Democrat started running ads claiming that Hogan wanted assault rifles in grocery stores. I predict the Republican wins VA by 6 or 7 points. Won’t be a squeaker. Dem. progressive base is dispirited, while Republicans are fired up.

The Democrats will lie and cheat. No one will stop them, and every Republican will declare that the election was fair. The only people that will suffer will be ordinary citizens. Sucks to be Americans these days.

At least it wasn't Gateway Pundit this time. That said, McAwful is now doing things like bringing in Harris and the fat turd from GA that suggest a level of desperation.

Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin is a puppet of Donald Trump.

So in a world which everyone knows is going to hell on a rocket sled, this is a negative exactly how?

I'm working for Youngkin's electoral integrity group. We are trying to stop them from cheating. The problem is the Democrat-controlled legislature has passed laws that make it very easy to cheat. There's only so much we can do given the hand we've been dealt.
