[quote]When Del. Jason Miyares, a former prosecutor and son of a Cuban immigrant, defeated a more right-wing challenger to become the Virginia GOP’s nominee for attorney general, Democrats wasted no time labeling him a “right-wing extremist.”

The next day, when wealthy businessman Glenn Youngkin won the Republican nomination for governor in a field that included polarizing, devotedly pro-Trump Sen. Amanda Chase, the Democratic Party of Virginia called Youngkin a “pro-Trump extremist.”

And when former Del. Winsome Sears, a Marine veteran and the first Black woman ever elected to the House of Delegates as a Republican, defeated more mainstream opponents to become the GOP’s pick for lieutenant governor, Democrats called her a fringe character and “the most radical far-right Republican candidate in the race.”[/quote]

Look at how well the Virginia GOP does at avoiding the nasty stigma of extremism. They go out of their way to nominate "centrist" anti-Trump candidates, and still they are labeled pro-Trump radical extremists. 😂😂😂😂😂

Only a complete fool would vote for these fools.[/quote]

Youngkin was endorsed by Trump.  He admitted that Biden won the presidential election only after his nomination.  Refusing to admit reality in order to get the nomination isn't centrist.  It's the opposite.[/quote]

Youngkin is neither the most pro-Trump nor the most anti-Trump Republican. Ergo, a centrist. Which doesn't matter, because every Republican, no matter how moderate, gets tarred a "far-right extremist ultra-conservative" before the election. (See: Romney, Mitt, 2012 campaign of)

Republicans think they need to be more like the Democrats in order to win elections. This turns off their base, and cannot win any independents (if they want Democrat policy enacted, they'll vote for a real Democrat not some RINO). The Republicans think they can win without their base - or that they can trick their rube base into voting for them, and then ignore them after the election. That game is just about played out though, as even the rube Republicans can only be fooled so many times before they wake up. Truly they are the Stupid Party! The best thing they can do is go away forever.[/quote]
