You are way too negative. Need to ditch the beaten down mindset.

You still don't get it do you?
In tight races where you are fighting an incumbent from the other party, you don't bring in your most polarizing figures.
The Dems shoulda followed that. They kept bringing in Stacey Abrams, Dementia Joe and all the most hard core leftists they could find. They thought they had it in the bag. They didn't.

I am a realist and seek the truth. To me the truth is neither negative or positive. It just is. How we react to the truth is what's important. My whole life people called me negative because of it. Having said that by all means enjoy this tiny victory. However soon the blush will be off the rose.

All in all it’s a win for everyone in the old dominion whether they will admit it or not. History will reveal more about these tumultuous times for our republic. Now let Virginia really build back better! This is the opposite ,a reversal, not brandon after Trump letdown. Enjoy it’s a great morning in Virginia!

BS. He should have lashed himself to Trump. Youngkin won despite putting off Trump. What I don't know is whether Youngkin did that because that is how he truly feels about Trump or did he knuckle under the GOP establishment. Either case is very troubling to me. We will never know....

Trump did lose VA by several points

It would be senseless for him to do what your asking.

Glenn ran a fine campaign and WON in a state where GOP hasn’t won for 12 years.

Give him some credit and also give him a chance.

He is friends with Rand. Rand would not endorse a Bush type imposter or fake conservative.

Wait and see is all I can suggest!

Did President Trump actually offer to campaign for Youngkin?

Youngkin did that because that is how he truly feels about Trump

So when did he talk about how he "really feels about President" in a bad manner then? Making stuff up again because you lost huh?

"I feel Youngkin will be a big nothing as GOV. He seems like a virtue signaling milquetoast kind of guy."

You can always get Fast Terry for your local school board. He has a lot of free time now.

“To me the truth is neither negative or positive. “

That is Psycho babble nonsense. What many call “truth” is very subjective and hence is very subject to their own biases. 1+1=2 is hard truth. “This food tastes good” is not.

Did Trump ever turn down an invitation to do that?

So when did he talk about how he "really feels about President" in a bad manner then?

Actions speak louder that words.

The mistake I made for fifty years was accepting another RINO hack like this guy as a victory for conservatism. It isn’t, it is only more frog boiling in Virginia. Nothing will be rolled back, just different snouts at the Richmond trough for a while.

I think Trump's batting average is like 128-2 when 3rd party campaigning...

Every statement President Trump made supported Youngkin. Youngkin grabbed the NAGA voters then some more.

Actions speak louder that words

What “actions” you talking about?

"BS. He should have lashed himself to Trump."

You're the one BSing. Here's President Trump issuing your smackdown in his own words, an full Trump committment to Youngkin just 36 hours ago:

"I've gotten to know him so well and our relationship is great," Trump told listeners. "The fake news media would like to say something else, because they'd like our big, giant, beautiful base like there's never been before to not vote as much as they're going to. We have a great relationship and he's a fantastic guy."

"Glenn Youngkin is a Republican candidate," Trump said at one point. "And you have so many other great people running, but he's your leader. He's your big Republican leader in Virginia and they're going to listen to him, and they're going to respect him, and you're going to see things happen in Richmond that you wouldn't have believed, especially with regard to taxes and your children's education."

At another point, Trump returned to a claim he made repeatedly in his losing re-election bid: that Democrats want to “abolish the suburbs,” a phrase that echoes segregationist rhetoric.

"Terry McAuliffe, as you know, he's embraced the far left's plan to abolish and he will literally abolish the suburbs as you know them today," Trump said. "I fought very hard to help the suburbs and did very well in that regard, but they want to build and do things. ... They want to ban single family home zoning and turn beautiful residential neighborhoods into apartment towers. It's the wrong thing and it's going to change your suburbs forever."

Trump also hit on "critical race theory," a phrase Youngkin and other Republicans have seized while protesting against what they see as anti-white curriculum in public schools. Youngkin has attacked McAuliffe for vetoing bills in his previous term as governor that would have allowed parents to opt their children out of lessons involving books deemed to have sexually explicit content. The book at the heart of that debate was "Beloved," Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the horrors of slavery.

"He actually said, 'I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should be teaching,'" said Trump, slightly altering a McAuliffe debate response that Youngkin has hammered him with in the race's closing weeks. "Well, that means all of those school boards that are instilled and installed are listening to a lot of angry parents. And we don't want that. We want there to be harmony and peace."

McAuliffe, whose team has been counting the number of times Trump has endorsed Youngkin in public comments, used Trump's involvement in the campaign's final days to reinforce his principal attack." - NBC

I will give our new milquetoast globalist venture capitalist overlord a little time. He deserves that but I expect nothing out of him. I feel it will be a RINO pig party in Richmond with “migrants” and H-1b visas all the way around. I hope I am wrong. I want to eat those words. I want you to humiliate me if I am wrong..

That’s Trump talking. Trump is fine. Despite what Youngkin said about Trump he did not ask Trump to come to VA. THAT TELLS THE REAL STORY. This will be exploited by the enemies of MAGA.
