President Trump - stay in your lane. Stop making it all about you.
agreed! Trumps narcissism helped create the mess w’ere in. I’ll vote for Pence, Rubio, Carson, or Pompeo in the primaries and hold my nose and vote for Trump in the final. Most of his policies were good but he had nowhere the finess of Reagan!
But Trump is absolutely correct. Without Trumps influence and rise as the living ‘Gadsden Flag’, of which is solely responsible for galvanizing the silent conservative base and which base and giving it balls to rise up into the single largest army and full-on patriot counter-offensive against the despotic progressive Marxist invaders not seen since the burning of our cities, states and capital by the British in the war of 1812 ... this contest would have been a slam-dunk for any Democrat/Marxist running in Va. The republicans would already be in state gulags and re-education camps.
Without Trump on the political stage at this point in history... things would be horribly Stalinist in contrast.
This report is second hand….Trump said according to blah blah blah
The last time McAuliffe ran, his opponent (Ken Cuccinelli, who was at the time a darling of the Tea Party movement) came within 2% of winning. McAuliffe ran a pretty bad campaign, insulting voters with a drumbeat “war on women” message rehashed from Obama’s reelection, but the GOP didn’t put effort into turnout because Cuccinelli wasn’t establishment enough.
I don’t really believe the party worked on turnout for Youngkin much either, but nowadays, it appears like that effect can be blunted with grassroots activism and social media.
It’s not all about Trump but he’s not lying
You thing rural can didn’t turn out huge because of Trump? You think his urging to “flood the system” didn’t affect turnout?
Yes the candidate played it well, but without MAGA turnout and enthusiasm he would have lost
