If you compare the numbers, McAuliffe had fewer votes than the Democrats running for Lt Gov and AG.

Adding Trump would have fired up the fraud machine. They couldn’t allow a McClinton loss to give Trump a victory.

Everything is Trump Hate now. It completely drives the Democrats.

Beyer explained, and “I doubt seriously that 2022 will be about Trump.”

Au contraire, Trump is a specter that is haunting the East Coast or they wouldn't still be talking about him. Serious graveyard whistling going on here.

Nice try to paint Trump as the reason for Democrat wins. The article was probably written by the deformed squish McConnell.

Did MAGA voters take Youngkin over the finish line?

“a tied state congress”

I have good news; the Repubs actually obtained a 1-seat majority, on further review!

“McAwful was going to win the election UNTIL HIS “PARENTS HAVE TO SHUT UP” gaffe.”


You are correct, sir. Until then it was just the usual schoolyard fight. I can only think that the “we know best’ attitude is so ingrained in their heads that they thought it was just an understood fact.

The teachers know what your kids need to know. Not the dumb parents.

They said the quiet part out loud.

McAuliffe wound up turning his own race into a referendum on whether Democrats could win without Trump in the picture.

Except that he wouldn't stop talking about Trump so he put Trump in the picture.

The guy on FNC last night was showing voting percentages for selected counties in Virginia, 2021 vs. 2020. There were some rural counties in southwestern Virginia where Youngkin was getting about 89% of the vote, where Trump got only about 85%.

Numbers never lie, but liars use numbers. That was the big lie. He kept stressing percentages, not totals. Trump beat Youngkin in totals on everyone of those examples. The Democrats just did more poorly (not a fair comparison).
