I just saw that nauseating commercial for the 100th time where he says he couldn't have afforded to go to college without a basketball scholarship. It's total BS. Rice back then probably cost no more than Norfolk Academy where he went to high school.
And he averaged ONE point a game at Rice. ONE point. So when he says he'll put the "skills" he learned on the court to work as governor what does that mean? He had no skills. He sucked. God I hate that guy. |
+1000. Is the strategy to not mention his stretch as CEO of the Carlyle Group until closer to election day? It's the second largest equity group in the world? They specialize in leveraged buy outs. How many people did he lay off due to acquisitions? They also have some scurrilous foreign investors. "Carlyle's 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that Shafiq bin Laden, a member of the Bin Laden family, had been the "guest of honor", and that they were investors in Carlyle managed funds.[19][20][21][22][23] Later reports confirmed that the Bin Laden family had invested $2 million into Carlyle's $1.3 billion Carlyle Partners II Fund in 1995, making the family relatively small investors with the firm. However, their overall investment might have been considerably larger, with the $2 million committed in 1995 only being an initial contribution that grew over time..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carlyle_Group "Youngkin was born in Richmond, Virginia.[4] He is the son of Ellis (née Quinn) and Carroll Wayne Youngkin. His father played basketball for Duke University and worked in accounting and finance.[5] When Youngkin was a teenager, the family moved from Richmond to Virginia Beach.[6] He attended Norfolk Academy in Norfolk, Virginia, graduating in 1985" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Youngkin I find it hard to believe that the son of an accountant/Duke University graduate had to support his family as that ad implies. Also I doubt he went to private school as a charity case. |
| Love him. So disgusted with school closures that I’d vote for satan himself just to prove a point. |
Grow up. |
+1 He's the change we need in VA. Terry McAuliffe is a sleazeball. |
Youngkin is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A Trumpster. He'll lose, thank God. |
McAuliffe really is a slimy huckster. Pretends to be liberal and lives in a mansion in McLean. Pretends to care about public education but sent most of his kids to private schools except for one kid who attended Langley, which is a segregated public school. No thanks - not again, Terry. |
| Why is he lying? Is that a joke? He’s a politician- they all lie! They have to or they could never rack up enough votes to get elected. They’re all slimy; it’s pretty much a prerequisite. |
McAuliffe is pretty funny but wasn’t he a Burning Tree member for a long time? |
|
I will crawl over burning coals to vote for Youngkin. I don't care about that ad - standard politician stuff that MacAuliffe is equally as guilty of, if what you're saying is true.
Parents have been ignited to vote red in VA over school issues. Mark my words. |
I hope he does not run again (Satan aka Trump) |
Oh, if that could only be arranged. About 200 yards of them. |
Basketball > Sleazeball? |
OK. He's still going to lose, but enjoy your little revenge fantasy. |
Not only that, he makes it seem like he toiled on that basketball court; his dad was a basketball player at DUKE, so I’m sure there was some slick coaching. |
