If Youngkin has half a brain, he'll do anything he can to distance himself from trump.

I think the outcome of this election will be sort of interesting either way with respect to Trump. If Youngkin wins Trump will certainly try to take credit but what I think it really means is that people in states like VA are willing to vote for a Republican just not Trump himself. Like 2020 really was about him personally. If McAuliffe wins you could interpret it as a continued rejection of Trumpism. If I were Trump I wouldn’t read too much into it either way with regard to my own prospects in VA. I’m sure there are lots of Trump haters willing to vote for Youngkin.

I’m a trump hater voting for youngkin. Solely based on schools. We must stop keeping healthy kids home for 14 days with no ability to test out. It is going to take state direction to move fchd.

+1000. Of course FCPS could take action, but they’re well intent on destroying the public school system in Fairfax County.

So? Everything you detail here is absolutely true. If you’re too blind to recognize that, there is not much someone can say to you.

Which returns us to the reality that this is mcauliffe vs. Trump or whomever vs. trump.

Youngkin is no Trump no matter how many times you say it.

Youngkin is not Trump but he has worked hard to get that Trump endorsement - pushing The Big Lie with his “election integrity” top priority.

He’s a polished Trump.

Hard pass.

Polished or not he is getting all the same voters that adore the jackass from queens.

+100

They may have been too intimidated or too embarrassed to put up Trump signs in their yard, and they may be empowered to rally for a "moderate" (cough, cough) candidate. But they lost Virginia in 2020, and they will lose again now. There are more of us than of them. They are just louder.

Maybe there are, maybe there aren't. Youngkin's rallies are well attended.

As for whether Youngkin is polished, he certainly seems more comfortable in front of an audience than McAuliffe, who has about the same enthusiasm for retail politics as Hillary Clinton and would obviously prefer to be cutting back-room deals.

More enthusiasm doesn’t necessarily mean more voters. We saw that in 2020. Republicans seem to love their rallies these days. I think a lot of people who don’t vote Republican just kind of quietly go about their day and vote blue. Anger is probably a better word than enthusiasm. Lots of that among right wingers in VA.

DP. And I would say you have that exactly opposite. Liberals are the loudest these days, and have been for quite some time. Shouting down anyone who disagrees with them, calling everyone who isn't as loud as they are "racists," the list goes on and on. The people who are voting for Youngkin are exactly the type of "quietly go about their day" - and don't feel the need to announce to everyone who they're voting for. Democrats love the drama of it all. As always.

See there’s that anger! You might want to chill out it’s bad for your blood pressure.

You must be a sensitive little snowflake if that struck you as "anger"!

Just preventing fascism, bro. Shutting down the worst things since the South in
the 1800s and what looks like 1938 Germany. That's all. If you want to call that drama.

Yes, let's call it what it is - drama, hyperbole, comedy, and good old fashioned lies. Nice work.

He just doubled down on book banning so who knows what’s next.

He’s unpredictable given that he’s not openly campaigning with one true platform.

Sure he is. He's been very open about his platform and it was posted in full a few pages back. What, exactly, is Terry's "platform" - other than invoking Trump in every sentence?

News flash. The Governor has no jurisdiction on these decisions...this is county, then state superintendent, with pushback from legislative. If the state ends up interfering, it would be 2023. Curriculum? Also, nothing to do with Governor.

Um….the country was definitely were better off under the previous administration. Things may have seemed chaotic under Trump, but they definitely are out of control now thanks to the leadership of the Empty Vessel

I thank God every morning that I turn on the radio and hear the words "President Biden."

That's funny because I cringe when I hear it.

You are calling Dems liars? Why? Look at your own party. One lie after another, for 4 years, followed by the big lie.

Terry McAuliffe’s website has detailed discussions of lots of policy positions. They’ve been up for months. You can check it out for yourself if you’re interested in educating yourself before you spout off. But I suspect you’re not.

Again, so what? I agree that things were better under Trump- inflation, border security, national security in general. Not that that matters in this race, but I’m encouraged that it looks like Virginia may actually swing red this year. Nice set up for 2022

National security was better under Trump? You definitely don’t know what you’re talking about.

Virginia may well stay blue, but there is no denying the above. All you Dems have is "But Trump! rAcIsT! fAsCisT!" And of course, desperation, as evidenced by the multiple threads full of rabid liberals claiming anyone who disagrees with them is a "traitor." Good luck to you! Whether you win or not, normal, rational people are on to you.

Cut Costs For Virginians

Eliminating Virginia’s Grocery Tax & Suspending the Recent Gas Tax Hike for 12 Months
Providing a One Time Tax Rebate of $600 for Joint Filers and $300 for Individuals
Ending Runaway Property Taxes by Requiring Voter Approval for Increases

Virginia’s jobs machine is broken. After zero job growth from 2013 through 2020, Virginia currently ranks 44th in job recovery during the pandemic and was recently ranked as the 49th best state to start a business. Glenn will jumpstart our economy by:

• Keeping Virginia Open and Protecting Lives & Livelihoods
• Protecting Virginians from Forced Unionization & Cutting Job Killing Regulations by 25%
• Launching #JumpstartJobs to Develop Talent, Train Workers, Attract Investment, & Make Virginia the Easiest State to Start a Business

• Rebuilding Crumbling Schools, Raising Teacher Pay, & Investing in Special Education Programs
• Creating at least 20 New Innovation Charter Schools across the K-12 Spectrum to Provide Choice

Make Government Work For You
Virginia’s government is failing its fundamental mission – serving the people. Our system is broken as customer service at agencies such as the DMV and VEC disappears. Glenn will make government work by:

• Fixing the DMV & the Virginia Employment Commission
• Protecting our Constitutional Rights
• Conducting a Statewide Transparency Audit to Root out Waste, Fraud & Abuse
• Restoring Photo ID Laws & Making it Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat
• Investing More Money in Roads & Highways
• Completing Long-Delayed Environmental Projects
