What is Youngkins political future?

[Anonymous]

He's horribly mismanaged public employees. He tried to make a.political point by canceling telework without considering if the offices even had space for everyone or if those people had been teleworking pre pandemic. It left managers absolutely scrambling.

That kind of blunt instrument action for political points is the sign of a terrible manager and not someone you want in government.

This is the year that he's going to have to take a position on abortion. That will be the end of his political career- either he alienates his base or he alienates the suburban voters who denied McAuliffe the margins he needed. Either way, he's done

Yep, either he tries to go hard right to appeal to the Republican base and kills his appeal in VA, or he tries to go moderate and kills his appeal with the MAGA nuts. Hogan's learned this lesson too, there's no reasonable Republican party anymore.

He lucked out and was able to thread that needle in VA. But he’s a one trick pony. Solidly rejected in 2022.

Nothing. His term will end and he’ll go back to the private sector.

Most of the VA governors run for Senate afterwards.

Virginia has two popular senators. He can run, but he won't win

Popular with who? General Dynamics??

Mark Warner last won re-election by 12 points, and Tim Kaine won by 16 points.

People blindly voting D out of fear that the sky will otherwise fall does not make those two stuffed suits “popular”

Do you have approval rating data to suggest they are not? If you are going to make claims against evidence, you need to substantiate them.

If he had run in 2022, post RvW, he would have lost. He’s one and done. Nobody will remember him after his term is up.

And he had a lot of help from a vast network of far right wing extremists from all around the country, who did things like travel in from all around the country to descend on several NoVA school boards pretending to be local parents, harrassing and threatening people over imaginary CRT, gay bathrooms and whatever else. A network of extremists, which, incidentally also includes former military PsyOps officer Emily Rainey, who lives in Moore County NC where the power transformers were destroyed causing an outage. She also led a group of 100 people during the J6 attack on the US Capitol. That's part of the shadow army that Youngkin has on his side.

Yeah, no.

Youngkin won because he was not Terry McAuliffe, who waltzed in, used his money and connections to grab the Democratic nomination after other candidates had announced, and in the process pushed aside a Democrat who could have defeated Youngkin in the general election (Jennifer McClellan). It had nothing to do with a "vast network of far right wing extremists from all around the country." McAuliffe was a known quantity, and the voters decided he didn't deserve another term and, if elected, would likely ignore their concerns while pandering to key left-wing interest groups.

This, exactly. I sometimes revisit the PP's unhinged rant, just for entertainment purposes.
