Yes, it is still an open question. Youngkin can not just check the boxes and say that he fulfilled his promises on the first day. He has to sustain that commitment for his full term. We can bet the menace of the left will be sustained throughout, and Youngkin needs to stick with it and defend the people from leftist predation with the same “agility” in office as Kurt says he had campaigning.

Agree. Youngkin is a globalist wrapped in a marriage of convenience with Trumpism. I wish we were wrong but we aren’t.

If I couldn’t answer a simple question that I posed, I would second guess my decision.

Show me your research and I’ll show you mine.

My research shows Van Drew on Newsmax frequently totally supporting President Trump. So, what has he done to make him a suspect?

The logical mash of your last post calls for me to repeat my suggestion to you re: critical thinking.

But here’s some encouragement: as Van Drew’s political maneuvers demonstrate, it is never too late to learn!

To be honest, Lurker, I don’t know WTH your answer means.

Ooooooo, Critical Thinking...WOW that’s heavy.

Tell me what about Van Drew raises your suspicions?

Noem signing that bill would have allowed anybody to sue anybody else for any reason. Some Karen/male Karen’s kid got cut from football tryouts because he wasn’t good enough? Let’s launch a lawsuit against the school! Smiling jogger failed a class due to cutting half the time? That racist teacher, let’s sue her!

She did the right thing. It would have bogged down the courts to no end due to frivolous lawsuits. You needed to read the proposed bill in its entirety to see that.

Now we have really isolated your challenges: utter breakdowns in logic—and in reading comprehension.

He’s wrong about Abbott in Texas. Abbott isn’t the fighter Desantis is and Youngkin seems to be. But Abbott is being challenged in the GOP primary which is a good thing for Texas. Abbott acted with disregard to small business and working people through the pandemic.

Talk about breakdowns in communication.

I asked a question.

What has Van Drew done to raise your suspicions?

Don’t give me rhetorical mumbo jumbo. Just facts.

He quotes “the other” Rush.

And he’s right.

so, am i the only one here who noticed that the foundation of Schlichter’s thesis is that this is a “post-Trump” world?

Apparently he’s deluding himself by deliberately ignoring the massive impact Trump’s endorsements are having on the GOP primaries for the 2022 elections, with the power of said endorsements stemming from the GOP’s knowledge that it’s almost certain that Trump will run AND win in 2024 ...

This is only a first step. We ‘ll see how it plays out in the next 4 years. I’m not going to anoint him the next Trump or Desantis just yet.

Gov. Kristi Noem pretended she was like this, but she was ruined when she first submitted to the establishment on transexual athletes, then compounding her error by trying to explain that we were stupid for noticing how she submitted to the establishment on transexual athletes
Noem is a fool. As much a suicide bomber as the Taliban fanatics. I have never seen anyone destroy their political career in one stupid act like she did.

All of the above is a lie. She literally did none of those things for none of those reasons. She refused to pass a flawed law, put EO's in place as a stop gap, and has since gotten those same idiot Republicans to enthusiastically support her new non-flawed bill that is currently before the legislature.

Stop it with the lies. Seriously.

Which is exactly what we already have all across America and have had for decades. What's different about this law?
Noem simply did not have the intestinal fortitude to fight the deranged far left trans brigade. She surrendered like a baby She's done as far as presidential ambitions are concerned. .

It’s easy. Focus on the concerns of the voters, not the donors or the elite, and then keep your promises. Simple, but effective. That’s the recipe for GOP success in the post-Trump era.

So simple.

That's like Dementia Joe saying he had the best first year for the economy for any president.
You are saying we did not see or hear what happened from Noem last year when she vetoed the trans bill. The Dems may buy that nonsense. We don't.

Not the first person to wonder what it is your are smoking Joe... But let me be the next to express the opinion that you should stop.

You are entitled to your opinion that Noem should have signed the flawed bill and just done what she was told to do like a good girl.

I’m entitled to my opinion that she did the right thing and the new bill has teeth in it your limp wristed heroes couldn’t bring themselves to do.
