Where’s Terry? Democratic VA Gubernatorial Candidate McAuliffe Skips Campaign Events As Poll Numbers Plummet
Trending Politics ^ | 30 OCT 2021 | Eric Thompson

There are times in life when you made a decision, they after announcing it to the world, realized it was a terrible idea.

As a politician who is running for office again, who just caused his lead to evaporate overnight, showing up where voters can ask you what you were thinking, might not be a good idea.

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who is running for the job again, has fallen rapidly in the polls due to self-inflicted political wounds.

McAuliffe who has stumbled repeatedly on the topic of education — long considered a winning issue for Democrats — recently dismissed parents’ concerns about the teaching of critical race theory and other controversial topics to students grades K-12.

During a Sept. 28 debate, McAuliffe said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach” when asked to respond to complaints about sexually explicit books.

Following this and other political gaffs the polls flipped shocking the democratic establishment.

McAuliffe, who served as Virginia’s governor between 2014 and 2018, had been considered an almost shoo-in especially after Biden carried Virginia by 10 percentage points in last year’s presidential election.

A new Fox News survey shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin now LEADING McAuliffe by eight percentage points (53-45) among likely voters, with just 2 percent supporting other candidates or undecided.

That represents a dramatic turnaround from just two weeks ago when the same poll showed McAuliffe with 51 percent support among likely voters, 46 percent supporting Youngkin, and 3 percent undecided or supporting other candidates.

McAuliffe campaign had scheduled bus tour events in Woodbridge, Prince William County on Thursday evening, and at the Port City Brewing Co. in Alexandria on Friday afternoon.

He’s overseeing his staff to make sure that they program “The Old Dominion’s” Dominion machines to makes the vote harvest will give him a landside victory to keep him in the Big House.

Didn’t he loan Slick and Hills the dough for their Chappaqua digs?

Good memory there, yes I believe so.

But I'm pretty sure he just loaned them a tiny percentage of what he made in the private sector with their insider help.

But yeah, I'm sure the favor bank is being accessed, no doubt about it.

McAuliffe said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach”

How macaca of Terry to say something like that. Out loud.

#13. What will Marc Elias “deliver for him”, Soros money?

We have no idea how much illegal money McAuliffe is getting from Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Marxists underground financial networks operating through “paper fronts”.

They are efficient but I can’t even get unemployment compensation despite having tried to register 7-8 times before one registration form actually went through. Been out of work all year.

Then denied on grounds that I hadn’t worked for the past 18 months (excuse me but having my job abolished due to COVID and having had to go thru pancreatic cancer surgery, two additional medical threats, and a year of three types of anti-cancer chemo/radiation therapy, plus having been declared disabled by my doctors, apparently isn’t a matter that Northam, a Dr. Mengele wannabe and McAuliffe, Hillary’s votes bagman, care about re their citizens.

Well, Hell hath no fury like a voter/worker scorned so Tuesday will be Working Citizens/Voters Payback Day in Virginia. IT will be like dropping an atomic bomb on the Democrat Party’s Virginia outhouse.

Hey Northam, come join me in trying to get unemployment payments. Just get the hell to the back of the line and wait for over 9 months for someone to realize that you even exist. Payback’s a bitch. Enjoy, Enjoy!

There are only two explanations for this.
Either McAuliffe has internal polls showing him down beyond the margin of Democrat/communist voter fraud

OR

He knows the fix is in and his next biggest concern is finding a moving company to haul his stuff to Richmond.

I hope for the former but fear the latter is so.

Why would he need to campaign?
Biden didn’t campaign, and he got 80,000,000 votes.


^ This plain and simple. Commies no longer need to campaign, they count the votes.
