[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a national audience on Youngkin, due to his aggressive change to Trump-like policies and behavior.

Lucas is getting a lot of attention for the VA Senate Democrats doing what they can to stop Youngkin.

We are turning into a joke like Florida. [/quote]

There is national audience in Youngkin for democrats IMO due to McAulliffe nationalizing the gubernatorial election which was a mistake and it cost him big. I have voted democratic all my life but I hated the way Terry ran his election and the push by Virginia democrats to attach Youngkin to Trump all day everyday.  It's not swaying undecided voters; it's not changing people's minds. Lucas is basically gaining followers from her own echo chamber, people who already felt very strongly against anything, ANYTHING, remotely connected to Republicans and are avid watchers of MSNBC. I'm not debating the merits of MSNBC, but all she's doing is getting likeminded people to believe themselves and push away those who are moderate (which honestly covers a lot of Virginians, like me).

Politico did a podcast on this phenomenon, maybe it is worth a listen as I may not be explaining it well.
