Minneapolis Question 2 official results. The fact that it was even that close is somewhat alarming. I'd love to see the breakdown by demo. Could be something to run against in 2022.

YES: 62,813, 43.83%

NO: 80,506, 56.17%

I've heard Minneapolis is far left. Can't confirm.
Not even close to indicative of what is viewed on a national level.

Lol of course.
The Trump country base did show up to the polls ... that's true. At the same time, Youngkin significantly appealed to centralist (lean D, independent, lean R) voters that clearly lead to his 2 point victory. I wouldn't be taking credit for that, DJT, but nothing surprising.

Questions for Rs is ... do you consider Youngkin in 2024 because that ticket appears to be a clear winner.

Youngkin got the sensible people in the middle to vote for him more than McAuliffe did. McAuliffe made the same mistake Trump made. He alienated those voters, with his stupid statement that "parents have no right to say how their kids are taught in school" The centrist voters pushed Youngkin over the top.

It's wasn't a stupid statement. It was a stupid moment of telling the truth. That is the honest Democrat attitude. That you should have no say about whether Far Left ideologues indoctrinate your kids with all kinds of quasi-religious tripe is very clearly the mainstream Dem position. That is why showing up at a school board meeting to protest X-rated books in the library or CRT gets you on the FBI watch list.

65% say country headed in wrong direction.

Ball game.

Fox was showing clips of what was going on over at MSNBC last night. According to them, everyone who voted for Youngkin is "dangerous for the country".

Do these people even listen to what they themselves are saying? They demonized everyone who voted for the man, when in fact, people from all political walks of life voted for the man. These weren't all "proud boys" or "neo-nazi's". These were average Virginians who saw a huge difference between the men, and how they viewed personal freedoms.

I don't know how that network even exists.

It's comical.

[Cody_Russell]

You say that about MSNBC ... and I don't think they are hardly progressive. A mix between establishment Ds and a little progressive. It's basically the inverse of Fox News.

IF you want to hear the far left/ progressive/ AOC, that's The Young Turks.

socialists feel entitled to your property. And they view your kids as their property.

Last I saw they were still lying about the Rittenhouse shooting, I wonder if they got off their "he took a gun across state lines" line after testimony yesterday.

Wondering what all this means for BIF and the unicorn bills...

Cody- The Republicans have a pretty easy path to power in 2022 and 2024 except for the Donald Trump problem. Youngkin did a good job maintaining the balance between not alienating the true MAGA heads while also appealing enough to centrists in the burbs.

Trump will not tolerate every Republican doing that in 2022 and 2024. He's already showing signs of irritation about Youngkin. At some point he WILL demand that Republicans embrace him and defend him and support his audit/election bullshit. And he will target those he feels pose a threat to his potential 2024 run. Roger Stone has attacked Ron DeSantis multiple times in the past week, even giving an interview to a Florida paper where he demands DeSantis endorse Trump for President in 2024. I do not believe Stone is doing this on his own without Trump's approval or knowledge.

Well, the reason they lost last night was because of (a) racists, duh; and (b) Washington didn't do enough to deliver Prog policies. The problem isn't the Squad. The problem is Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema.
