Glenn Youngkin's brand of politics over?

-Play for 5 points in every single county. The dems just fully conceded rural areas and paid the price.

-Mcauliffe was a terrible, boring, sterile, establishment, do-over candidate - nothing there to get excited about or turn anyone on.

-This all let Youngkin get away with being two different things in two different parts of the state - vest wearing soccer dad up here, Trumpy christian nationalist in rural VA.

-Astroturf organizing on school issues, etc. - Dems are WAY behind (and the years of school closures played into it... they are trying to recreate that vibe on the woke issues)

This is why Youngkin will be more successful if he runs for President than Hogan. He has already won the support of the evangelical right with all the school stuff, which means that he doesn’t need to be a consistent fire breather on campaign trail. You will once again see both right-wing Glenn and moderate, suburban Glenn. He can also claim to govern a “Purple state” so he knows how to do bipartisanship, which the media loves. This guy is going far.

The man flew all over the country campaigning for Republican extremists and doesn’t do any work here. He makes up culture war issues and tries to divide people, just like Trump and DeSantis.

And he sent Nancy Pelosi a note of apology privately rather than apologize to her in public. A real profile in courage right there.

Why on earth shouldn't he apologize to her (or anyone) in private? He doesn't owe *you* an apology.

He had no problem mocking her in public.

For god's sake. He did not mock her. He should have chosen his words better, but anyone with half a brain would acknowledge he didn't have malicious intent. Get over yourself.

He mocked violence on an 80+ year old. Decent people know that is not okay.

Really? Please do post the quote in which he "mocked violence on an 80+ year old." We'll wait.

He just does it with a smile and fewer mean tweets

He did run a spectacular gubernatorial campaign compared to McAullife. But once he won that race, his eyes got wider and he is now laser focused on becoming the Republican nominee in 2024. So now he will bend and pivot to whatever will get him that nom. Virginia got screwed by both sides: 1) by the left for shoving down our throat's Terry McAullife as the savior for the democratic nominee when there were other well qualified candidates, and 2) by the moderates who claimed Youngkin was his own brand, was a moderate and would focus on Virginia issues. McAullife handed Youngkin the election in the debate when he said that parents should not be involved in their children's public school education. Politico did a 15 min podcast re this campaign, that moment and how Youngkin won. It's worth listening to because I am sure he's got the same people working on this next campaign.

The sad thing is McAuliffe was 100% correct about parents’ role in public education. There already exist myriad ways to have input — but they absolutely do not get to dictate what happens in the actual classroom or schools.

He sure does. He is our governor and represents us. So when he behaves like a complete tool, he needs to publicly apologize to the people he represents for embarrassing them.

Please. Anyone with a quarter of a brain knew what he was saying. Be better.

If he didn’t mock anyone then why did he apologize? I love how MAGAs enjoy making themselves look stupid.

You're exactly right. Which tells us you don't have even a quarter of a brain since you're attributing malice to what he said. If you were even slightly rational and less partisan, you'd admit that he did mean to say anything spiteful or inappropriate.

He apologized because he's a decent person and realized what he said came out wrong and actually was inappropriate - though he did not mean it that way. You were saying something about looking stupid? Oh - still waiting for that quote where he "mocked violence on an 80 year old."

This is what you get when your state has a stupid 1 term limit. There is no incentive to do what you said you would do.

Glenn ran on a platform of HATE. Those of us who are smart knew he was an A**. Plus he was with Trump. Loser all around. We don't want him in Virginia.

This is exactly why the Dems lost the working class. They just can't wait to tell you how much smarter they are than the rest of us. All this MAGA BS should've destroyed the Republican party, but most people don't like being talked down to, so they're like, "eff these condescending, arrogant pricks" and vote for the Republican.
