The presence of the TRAN in the House should help in many House races in other parts of the state ...
TRAN is a net gain for us
Wow, I didn’t know that. And what would happen if the GOP somehow end up with only 51 HoD seats, would the Lt. Gov. be permitted to break the 70-all tie?
There is no tie-breaking mechanism in the HoD. Just the Senate.
The Senate is 21-19, but there are three rural democrats who sometimes break with the party.
A 20-20 tie in the Senate is broken by the Lt. Gov.
The GOP will have 52-48 in the HoD, so there is no need to break a tie there.
Well now we can all go back to sleep and forget all about any election fraud witnessed during the 2020 election. Now that the government has give. Us our deep State ex ceo from the Carlyle group for Governor and the rest of the races.
Come now. You know the rules. When Republicans are in power, they change rules so the ensure they are hamstrung from winning at all. It’sT IS THE GOP SOP. It’s done this way so you can pay them lots of money for campaign contributions. We will get them after the election is the mantra.
It’s been the same way every single time. I’ve seen it over and over again here on Free Republic since Clinton.
You’re delusional.
America has completely rejected Liberalism, but they also rejected Trump personally. This is more apparent than ever now.
Well, aren’t we feeling our oats now. Youngkin won by 2%. 70k votes. Hardly a mandate election or wave.
I will agree, though, that a lot of weak and stupid GOP voters have rejected Trump. I hope they enjoy having their daughters raped in high school bathrooms. The young girls don’t deserve that but their idiot parents do for supporting marxist democrats who burn our cities.
What I mean is, hypothetically, if there is a 51R-49D HoD and a 21D-19R Senate, and Gov. Younkin appoints a Justice to fill a vacancy, what would happen if the joint session resulted in a 70-70 tie? I know that the Lt. Gov. Sears will be the President of the VA Senate and only will get to break ties there, not in the HoD, but woud she be able to break ties when the Senate is in a joint vote with the HoD? My gut tells me that the answer is “no,” but I want to make sure.
You know where you can stick it?
Dear Republicans,
Trump is the Republican party. Unless you change and embrace MAGA and build on that the Republican party is doomed.
I think election integrity has to be a front burner item for the rest of all politics.
Just don’t roll over and die. That’s all.
We have to:
Register voters
Educate voters
Have good candidates
Support the elected official we have
Ensure election integrity and
Get out the vote.
All these things. What we may not do is bitterly assert that there is no hope and quit.
I am not entirely sure there, but I think the answer is no. The executive doesn’t have a say in the judicial elections in VA.
Unlike the Democrats, the Republicans have added to their “Bench”. This gentleman from Virginia looks to have one hell of a bright future.
Two things puzzled me in the advertising. What was this about the FBI at the end of the ad scorching McK for saying parents shouldn’t tell public schools what to teach? The other is our new governor’s statement he would spend large amounts of money on schools, but eliminate some taxes and apparently nothing about raising any others. How will he do that?
Sorta like Buck Fiden did with President Trump's best effort? But in reverse.
The point I was trying to make is that you can embrace MAGA and everything that Trump stood for without embracing Trump personally.
Which in my opinion is what just happened in Virginia.
Take Trumps platform, but keep Trump himself at arms length. Too many suburban moms were turned off not by Trumps policies but by him personally.
Which suppresses the male testosterone vote.
Trumps personality is appealing. We don’t need nice. Nice sucks sh1t.
Yep. They did. People here don't want to hear it but it looks to be true. They embraced "Trumpism without Trump."
And this is why I'm not going to support his bid for re-election in 2024. Of course, if he gets the nomination, I'll vote for him, but I really hope he doesn't run. He had his shot.
I want someone younger and more disciplined to carry the MAGA banner. Youngkin proved that you can assemble a winning coalition of MAGA and moderate suburbanites.
Trump, thankfully, stayed on the sidelines. Last night's victorious Republicans should send Jack Dorsey a thank-you card for keeping Trump off Twitter and forcing the Democrats to campaign on their own failed policies instead of mean tweets.
You are piece of fecal matter.
