Her campaign says a lot of what she stands for, but the debate told me something else.

She can just executive order whatever needs to be done. Remember, "No kings" (unless it's our king).

I don’t know what you were watching. Earle-Sears constantly interrupted - are you suggesting that was decisiveness and strength? I doubt many would agree with you. Spanberger appeared to me to be thoughtful and deliberative. Earle-Sears was… not.

You doubt many would agree with Earle-Sears style… but that style is exactly what propelled Trump in those 2015 primary debates and the 2016 Hillary debates. MAGA and (honestly a lot of moderates) LOVE seeing people “buck” the establishment / stick it to the bureaucrats and that includes interrupting to literally and figuratively cut through the BS / politician talk. You might not agree and it might be rude but it’s a style and it’s effective at winning over non Democrats.

It was effective for Trump because he’s a white billionaire. We’ll see how much MAGA loves a pushy black woman.

The sitting Lieutenant Governor doesn’t get to be an outsider sticking it to the establishment.

Crazy how one sentence can tell you so much about someone’s psychology / intelligence.

"Financial disclosure gaps, questionable gifts cloud Earle-Sears’ bid for governor"
https://virginiamercury.com/2025/10/08/financial-disclosure-gaps-questionable-gifts-cloud-earle-sears-bid-for-governor/

“ Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears built her political brand on transparency and accountability. But a closer look at her public filings reveals a pattern of omissions and inconsistencies in her financial disclosures — including a $12,000 “gift” far above the state’s legal limit and multiple undisclosed trips funded by outside organizations.”

“If it were one or two instances, then this could be brushed aside as an innocent mistake,” he said. “But there seems to be a pattern of accepting gifts and not reporting them, which is troubling to me insofar as it risks undermining public confidence that our democracy is free from corruption.”

Not one response from Republicans.

We get it, you’re ok with corruption.

Virginia’s next governor should be someone who will speak up and fight against Trump’s next Big Lie, not support it.

If Trump goes after elections in 2026 I want someone who will fight to preserve our voting rights.

Spanberger will protect:
Virginia schools (k-12)
UVA
Virginia federal workers
LGBTQ people in Virginia
Virginians abused by ICE
Women
Virginians’ voting rights

We need someone with a backbone to stand up against Trump attacks.

That would be more “our duchess” or something.

Why won’t Republicans support common sense gun laws?

+1

I voted for Youngkin, but I’m voting for Spanberger as soon as my early voting location opens on Monday.

Winsome has zero policies but screaming she’s a traitor and a parrot of rw nonsense.

Republicans are the Kkk and winsome is an idiot like Candace Owen’s both think they are part of the Republican Party. Let winsome drive in a get in ruby red Va at night and get pulled over. Yeah …. Republicans are not voting for a black woman governor

[Anonymous]

The real question is at what point does ICE ramp up in VA after Spanberger’s win? Will Youngkin ask for the NG before she’s sworn in? You know Trump has plans for her. I hope she and her team are preparing for that and have plans for responding.
