Democrats sweep Virginia legislature in blow to Gov. Glenn Youngkin
NY Post ^ | Nov. 7, 2023

Posted on 11/08/2023 2:25:19 AM PST by nuconvert

Democrats in Virginia on Tuesday night retained their majority in the state Senate — a blow to Republicans who were hoping to achieve total control of the state legislature and boost Gov. Glenn Youngkin in his final two years in office.

The GOP also lost control of Virginia’s House of Delegates, with Democrats set to win at least 51 seats in the 100-member lower chamber.

Is Youngkin in favor of restricting abortion?

Youngkin wanted to turn the Virginia State Senate and House red to pass a 15 week abortion limit. That was the single issue that was attacked as extreme and resulted in the Dems taking back the legislature. I admire him for the effort, but the lefts messaging on abortion somehow reaches their base and women and young people.

My Delegate is a Republican in a previously Democrat seat. He ran unopposed. The Democrats chose which seats to flip and threw those elections. They knew they couldn’t win this one.

This is why Republicans lose. The RINOs dont accept MAGA and MAGA doesnt accept the RINOs so there is only half a party. RINOs have to accept that Trump is the leader od the party and MAGA needs to accept that RINOs needsome say in the candidate. Do this now of next November it will be another RAT sweep nationwide.

The best way to do that is have a lively primary season instead of calling for all debates to stop and everyone crown a winner before the first vote is cast and tossing about terms like "loyal" and "disloyal" and RINO just because. As I've said before, if I don't get my chance to vote against Trump and for someone else in the primary, I may not be able to support him in the general. We need to play by the rules, and any call to disband those isn't going to win my ultimate support.

Make the demand anyway.

Deep State’s response will show what it has to hide.

Deep State has organized a mad-on for hand counting ballots tha5s going on all over the county.

CA just banned handing counting.

If there’s no fraud, what’s Deep State trying to hide...

I'm sure the dems are quite OK with our base believing that. That discourages voting altogether and we see how that worked out in Georgia that previously had two GOP US Senators and now has two DEM US Senators. I guess maybe it's 3-d chess of some kind, not sure.

Ronna Romney , Trump’s girl Strikes Again .
That Facelift Victim pushed us to another impressive Defeat .
She was Out Spent 3 to 1 and had no strategy and no ground game.
She was busy getting fillers and botox in her 500,000 DC CONDO .

We will get destroyed again in 24 with Moron Ronna and Trump just like
the last Five times since 2016 .

You have identified the problem. America is now Amerika. The GOP, indeed “conservatism”, have failed. “ Our Democracy” has made voting moot. Whites are the nation’s greatest threat and are being rapidly replaced.

Wake up people. Welcome to the Brave New World.

Good on him! He’s undoubtedly making more effort than Ronna Romney.

I lived in an urban area and voted in a diverse district. There was no one in line when I voted (rare) but they reported 92% voted. That’s why they always report late. That was in the 1980’s.

If Trump is not the nominee I couldn’t care less who it is. It wont mstter to.me that Biden is elected again. As long as they won’t accept Trump then MAGA will NEVER support you anti Trumpers. Looks like November 2024 will be another slaughter but if anyone can pull it off it’s Trump.

The loyalty to Trump is truly getting tiresome. Most of the country is sick of his circus show, won’t vote for him, won’t vote for anyone who is closely attached to him. But for his peeps, they’ll let the country go to hell before looking for a better candidate.

You’re not for purging RINOs? That’s unusual.

He might have gotten his wish if he had pledged to use a GOP legislature to repeal those awful California auto requirements and make public skrewels better, and avoided the abortion issue altogether.

It's like, "I don't believe me or mine should kill babies, but that's a personal decision that every person has a right to decide" kind of thing.

That has been the bain of America since the 1960s!! The church (along with its people) has turned away from its purpose of guidance and support for those who are/have fallen away from biblical teachings. And when did America start the GREAT SLIDE into our current abyss? I would argue it was the 1960s! We have been sliding down a slippery slope since FDR turned our tax coffers into a vote-buying, give-a-way, piggy bank. That was made possible by destroying the State appointment of Senators and the creation of the income tax and central bank system, but those I believe were simply short land shifts that ultimately set FDR to go full communist giveaway crazy.

We the People MUST step up and explain the importance of NOT KILLING our future with abortion on demand!

We the People MUST step up and VOTE OUR CONSCIENCE at every election!

We the People MUST get out and vote! ESPECIALLY on local issues (those affect most of us more than anything the Feds do)!

I was so proud last night, in an off-year election, I stood in line to vote in rural Texas (about an hour and 15 west of Dallas) for more than an hour! Our turnout this year was AMAZING! And it still will only be about 10% of registered voters. That MUST change if We the People want to continue to control our own destinies and preserve the future for our children!

We need to drop abortion as an issue period. It’s a state issue. And let the chips fall where they may, we’ve got bigger fish to fry.

The abortion battle needs to be fought on a different battlefield.
