    Trump should probably just stay out of it, Youngkin is doing just fine on his own without stirring up the suburban housewives in the wrong direction.

    TDS is STRONG. Knowing what we know today, Biden being a historically bad pants shitting president in every category, if you ran it back he would still find 81 million votes because Trump.

    I think Jimmy can win the north and I think Trump will back out of 2024 if a tuff guy like Deathsantis shows the moxie to win it all

    This statement seems to be a response to democrats saying Trump was against Youngkin

    Democrats want to run against Trump but most GOP don't want Trump against them. Its a weird dynamic because Trump should be toxic yet he's beating Joe rather easily now in polls

    Is he good or bad for the GOP?

    If the GOP wants to move past Trump they need to be like him on the issues. If they can do it without being mean and orange then great but they will be racist fascists anyway. The script
    It's a true tight rope but Youngkin is now rewriting the play book on exactly how to do it. Agree with Trump on almost all policy issues. Stay cordial but dig in on things like woke-ism (CRT, Trannies) to flip the culture war back at them in an aggressive way. Be vaxxed yourself (if you want), but stick to your guns that it is a personal decision. Don't be mean or orange. Youngkin has executed the Trump-lite strategy brilliantly. He is even a "never been a politician before" business man type.

    Youngkin is what would happen if Trump fucked Mr. Rogers and had a baby.

    There is a A LOT more energy and enthusiasm around Youngkin than there is McAuliffe. Houses and people who I know a Democrats and will certainly be voting straight D aren't even bothering with their usual yard signs. Meanwhile typically R houses are very willing to bust out the yard signs, while in the recent past did not do so since there was a certain Orange man running for President.

    Demographics say McAuliffe should win but even if he does it will be super close and he's destroyed the lead he started with. An R hasn't won a statewide election in VA since 2009.

    They want to make it seem close so when they steal it, people won’t question the result.

    This. They did similar things with Newsom.

    Trump needs to knock it off. It's like he wants to be able to say his endorsement was the key to a potential Youngkin victory. This is grassroots parents all the way. Youngkin is just the beneficiary. And whoever the GOP nominee is in 2023.

    Disagree. The group from Medina/West Bellevue is arrogant, quite honestly. They are economically free from being cancelled. Get to the East/South Bellevue, that's another story.

    1st hand knowledge.
