For the sake of our two-party system, I would have liked to believe that Republican Glenn Youngkin, should he win the Virginia governor’s election on Tuesday, could show the way to a post-Trump restoration of the GOP, away from the crazy and the culture wars. After all, Youngkin is a moderate businessman who has long been a traditional Republican.
But I can’t, because that’s not how he’s campaigned against former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
Youngkin is no Donald Trump, but neither is he disavowing the worst of Trump. He’s using weasel words, but all the same he’s corroding faith in our elections, exploiting racial divisions and embracing phony culture wars. Trump says what he thinks, and his cultists love it; Youngkin says what they want to hear, just without the bile and bombast that has cost the party the support of many moderates, college-educated Republicans and independent voters in the suburbs, and turned the once-red state a purplish blue.
It may be working for Youngkin. A Washington Post-Schar School poll Friday showed the race is a dead heat, and Youngkin seems to have the momentum. A new Fox News poll showed him with an eight-point lead.

So what is their real concern?? My guess is that they don't like republicans that ACTUALLY oppose the democrats, and that ACTUALLY do what's necessary TO WIN, which is the point of running for office.
But in their minds, only democrats should win, and democrats are SOOO virtuous that they should NEVER be opposed.
So they yearn for the days of the pantywaist-type republicans, who dutifully cowered in the corner when the democrats said "Boo" and then dutifully lost in November.
But those days are over, Jackie!
Trump has taught them to fight.
She is happy with senile Biden and loon Harris.
Read the list of swamp critters on another thread here and you will understand why.

You may use this as you wish.
Could have used a barf alert on that one.
Sorry.
Communism has rotted the Democrat Party so much that Russia is calling them too communist.
Any contention that the Republican Party is being rotted by anyone or anything is deflection and projection.
They’re trying desperately to good Youngkin to Trump in an effort to scare white moderates in the NoVa suburbs back to McAuliffe.

Huh?
Biden had ruined the Economy and spread his trademark Corruption.
Inflation, Cronyism, and Hate Americans first.

Somehow my iPhone autocorrected tie to good.
They’re slow learners.
Has Jackie been appointed to change Biden’s diaper?
These people are a joke.
Go get yourself an 8 dollar Big Mac there Jackie.
Dumbass
Deep State had it rigged and the Republicans went along with the plan, until Trump came along and “ruined” the gravy train.
What a bunch of morons!
No, actually they want Youngkin to say something bad about Trump to alienate Trump supporters. Fortunately, Youngkin isn’t taking the bait, he’s running a brilliant campaign and is not playing the “I’m not Trump, I’ll work with Democrats” game. Only bad thing that Youngkin did is that he said he’ll accept the election results. No Republican candidate going forward should agree to accepting the election results should they lose.
It was and is the gravy train.
A system is rotten if the vote doesn’t go your way!? And they say that Trump is a sore loser...
No he hasn’t taught them to fight. He tried, but they don’t fight, won’t fight, can’t fight because they are so in love with losing. Losing is what these losers excel at.
Who gives a crap what this peanut-brain thinks. Why should we care what he hopes for? It ain’t good for anyone I know.
