Before the Virginia state nominating convention Youngkin refused to say that Biden was legitimately elected. But it wasn't until after May 10, when he became the GOP nominee, that finally said that Biden's election was legitimate. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/may/19/glenn-youngkin/youngkin-shifts-position-legitimacy-bidens-electio/

He's done the same dance with Trump and January 6. And look at the undercover video where he says the opposite about abortion from what he says in public. I do not trust him - Youngkin will say whatever will help him in the moment.

Youngkin is no Larry Hogan.

Good We want a healthy governor.

The average Virginian is pretty moderate (socially liberal leaning and fiscally conservative leaning). They might be anti-abortion for their own choices but they’re not ones to tell others what to do or impose their personal beliefs on someone else and are pro-choice for others.

I do not see the majority of Virginians finding pro-life measures and outlawing abortion to be a priority and in fact most will find it too overreaching and indecent. They will not support this in the numbers you suggest, not at all.

I have lived in Virginia all my life all over the commonwealth. Virginians aren’t known to be extreme on either end. So this knee jerk reaction that Virginians are chomping at the bit and just waiting for Youngkin to get elected so abortion can be banned is offensive. First there would have to be a law on his desk to sign. I don’t think it will get to that point, not anytime soon.

So stop painting Virginians as extreme right pro life marching single issue voter crazy trains. We’re not.

Well said.

I think you are forgetting about the GOP/Trump supporters outside of NoVa.

Uh, Trump is not on the ballot in Virginia. Did you not know that?

Uh, PP didn't say he was.

GOP and Trump supporters will absolutely be voting for Youngkin.

Trump is actively campaigning for Youngkin.

Youngkin welcomed Trump's endorsement.

Youngkin actively has pushed Trump's lie about "election integrity".

Youngkin is a Trump Republican.

The GOP is actively pushing to restrict voters' rights.

The GOP is actively pushing to restrict women's rights.

Youngkin has NEVER said that the Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 election. He has been asked this several times and not once did he ever say the election was ridged or false.

Trump has never campaigned with Youngkin. He has never been at any rally or event in Virginia for him. Ever. Sure there is some sort of telly rally (whatever that is) but that's it.

This is a state wide election. This is not a national or federal election. Virginians want people from the other 49 states to but out! STOP using us and our election as your prop or stage for whatever national or personal agenda you have. Stop trying to make dots connect that aren't even close. Most Virginians can't stand Trump. He didn't win in 2016 or 2020 there. Trump barely even campaigned in Virginia for 2020 because of it.

I cannot stand people with no real connection to Virginia (they aren't from here, work here, live here) barging in to take advantage of the political moment for their own personal or professional or political gain, taking advantage of the people who do live here, and then come Wednesday they're gone on to their next big thing and we are all still sitting here having to deal with whatever happens. Stay home.

Also no one pays any attention to Amanda Chase, she's a nut job.

Uh, this election is bigger than you idiot bumpkins in the inbred parts of the state. That’s why so many of us who don’t live in Virginia are so concerned about it and are sending as much money as we can to TM. Because in order to protect Progressivism anywhere, we have to protect it everywhere. This isn’t just about you, you ignorant hillbilly.

Well bless your heart.

You want to prevent botched abortions? Keep them legal.

And provided by certified medical professionals.

They already are. Are you really this ignorant about Virginia abortion laws, or are you just hoping everyone else is?

I would assume not a chance if he loses, or barely wins his own state on Tuesday.

Terry has his legal team standing by to challenge election results
Just like Selena Montgomery he will claim to be governor of Virginia.

You are not listening.... Look at the list of important issues to VA voters. EDUCATION..... Terry blew it at the debate and Youngkin campaign ran with it. Terry now playing catch up. Stop making this a Trump or abortion issue.

DP. People are allowed to talk about which ever election issues they want in this thread. I get that you don’t want people to discuss abortion because Youngkin’s views are highly unpopular and would make it difficult for him to get elected if they became well-known, but that doesn’t mean you have any authority whatsoever to stifle discussion of abortion and force people to only discuss issues where you believe Youngkin compares favorably.

Youngkin is an anti-abortion extremist who wants to ban the procedure in Virginia. Deal with it.

DP and I am ready to deal with it. I think we are at the point that we should sacrifice couple grown ass women who put themselves into this situation vs. sacrificing kids to suicides due to the schools shot down.

What about rape victims who will commit suicide when they’re forced to carry their rapist’s baby and then face the prospect of having to co-parent with him if he won’t give up his rights so she can put the baby up for adoption? Where do they rate in your scale of moral relativism?

How often does that happen? Sounds more like the fake date rapes.

DP - I’m curious - are you planning to lose the General Assembly? Because the only way a Heartbeat bill is passed into law is if it’s written by the legislature.

Republicans are expected to take back the House of Delegates this year. Democrats only a single vote majority in the senate, which is not secure at all (and Sears were to win LG, so would be an extreme anti-abortion tie breaker).

Republicans could absolutely take the General Assembly, and then there’s be virtually no stopping them effectively banning abortion in Virginia.

Wow. GOP is in for a major sweep of all offices. I wonder why that is?

Astroturfing and fearmongering works?

The tiki stunt failed.

People will vote the the sake of their children and grandchildren. That means voting for Glenn, not Terry who told parents to be quiet.

Ya’ll can pretend this LP stunt and all the other crap you spewing will swing this election to Trumpkin and Sears. His last minute attempt to tie a tragedy into anything to do with McAulife is disgusting. Dems will win, and they will continue to deliver for Virginians. Bye Felicia.

You may be right. But I doubt it. Happy Halloween!

How incredibly misleading since other occupations in this area pay higher than other occupations in other areas.

If you actually look at the data, in absolute terms and in constant dollars, Virginia isn’t anywhere near the lowest in the nation.

Shame on whoever posted this.

Oh, wow, you clearly do not get it.

Oh, sweetie. I completely get it.

Incomes are pretty high in Virginia. Loudoun, for example, is the highest income county in the county. This study compares teacher pay to incomes overall in the state. But then it ranks them so someone just reading headline is led to believe Virginia pay is second lowest in the nation. Which it isn’t. Not by a long shot.

This is, of course, disingenuous and deliberate. Every bit as disingenuous and deliberate as inventing bullshit about Critical Race Theory being taught in schools or saying McAuliffe and Herring are responsible for a sexual predator attacking students. It’s beyond disgusting. It’s also par for the course for Republicans, who do nothing in good faith.

Shame on you. You’re completely disgusting and garbage.

Sweetie, look what you did!

“the highest income county in the county”

I wouldn’t call you out on this but couldn’t resist due to your smug superiority.

Yeah, look at what I did. I posted facts. And owned you.

Sit down.

Got another drinker here!! Mac Auliffe has the BEST supporters!

40.

Well, that explains the terrible early vote numbers. No wonder desperation is setting in.

Democrats vote early. Only repugs think they have to show up on Election Day. That’s why the crowds are small. Most Dems have already voted. Why go to see an event after you already voted?

Such a dumb thing to say.

Why waste your energy on an online forum arguing with supporters of the candidate you believe will lose, when you have already voted?

Such a dumb thing to say!

Obviously trying to intimidate those who haven't voted yet. Glad I did early - for Youngkin and Sears.

E) National media, heavily left-leaning, refuse to investigate or identify the names or positions of the instigators even with clear pictures from multiple angles. Fact.

All roads lead to Terry.

It is being investigated right now. Stay tuned to the news.

The news that releases on Wednesday, November 3rd at 8:00AM? Because it takes 72 hours to look at a photo, ask your neighbor 'Hey Chad - isn't that that douche that went to Georgetown and works for so-and-so who lives down the hall?', and then confirm the spelling of their name on linkedin?

Social media already positively identified (allegedly) 4 of the instigators. And if that's not enough all they had to do was charge the allegedly Lincoln/Democrat operative conspirator with defamation and get her to actually name the instigators in an emergency court order. That's if she actually has a list she can pull out from somewhere.

If social media was relied on to positively identity the Jan. 6 rioters, then the same standard should apply here.

The Trump insurrectionists are idiots who posted themselves on social media. And wore identifying clothes, etc. Certainly no one was charged without evidence.

You - the irrational mob - are all quick to judge and sentence without evidence.

And you owe those people an apology.

I’ll owe those people an apology when they identify the culprits with names and titles, and not before.

You owe them all an apology for stringing them up with no actual evidence.

For the two that have already been debunked you can do it right now.

Nope. I agree with the PP. No apologies will be forthcoming until all involved are identified. We'll wait.
