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.

grabbing the sick bucket!
It’s not Trump who’s responsible for the craziness and the culture war.
Jackie needs to get back into the kitchen
First rule for liberals needing attention - mention Trump.
Trump was a moderate businessman himself. He is only considered far right because the GOP were basically democrats (NeoCons).
It looks like Jackie has been hitting the sauce.
Good one; wish I’d thought of it.
I found it online so I didn’t think of it either! :-)

Trumpism = Loving America, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Founders, etc..
The MSM really hate our country and hate freedom. They want global government with serfs.
aka “The Basilisk Gaze Of Jackie Calmes”
Trump and his voters do not sit and do nothing like the republican partly has for years. They rather we do the same!
Loser DNCMedia.
Trump’s not even on the ballot.
FJB and F the DNCMedia.
This is a vile old wrinkly Commie hag. She wrote a book about Conservative judge on SCOTUS. Coney-Barrett, Roberts, Kavenaugh? LOL!
Never heard of her.
Not sure on the exact number, 30-40% of Americans believe the election of 2920 was WEG ithee stolen or had serious issues. That alone is evidence of a problem.
