    The left preaches hate, not the right. You can say otherwise all you want, but the left preaches it and practices it far more than the right.

    Go on and try to defend your side. The left has put on full display the hatred they have and the tendency towards violence. You do remember the rioting right? Or is the only day your brain can remember 1/6 (which was, despite the lefts lies, nothing when compared to the lefts rioting)?

    The left owns the vast majority of the hatred and violence in this country. You saying otherwise doesn't make it true.

    Good news.

    For what it's worth (not much), the Marxist BLM candidate, Princess Blanding (Liberation Party), got a whopping 22,673 votes in her Quixotic quest for relevance.

    Being New Jersey they're probably filling out absentees and mail-ins as fast as they can, losing Jersey would be a Paul Bunyan sized boot up their arse....fingers crossed though! :fingerscrossed:

    You assured everyone that VA would go democrat, they didn't, and of course, you projecting a win is just a fear of the outcome you fear the most. So, you project. If the vote doesn't turn out to your liking, will you be a part of the insurrection?

    Please don't misunderstand -- I'm delighted to see even the slightest signs of this country beginning to recover, even in a small way, from the 'woke' insanity, the race-bating, and the welfare-for-votes dependency that characterize the Democrat Party in the 21st-century. But I see the strength that the Democrat machine draws by peddling its mantras of 'racism-guilt' and the old, reliable tactic of doling out 'something-for-nothing' welfare handouts in a dozen different forms. So, that's why I say, "don't get too happy too soon".... ;)

    Sadly in today's world, confidence in the integrity of elections is very low, and with just cause.

    Well, it does now look like Terry is throwing in the towel. A towel that Stacey never had the balls to concede...

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mcauliffe-concedes-to-youngkin-virginia-governor-race

    McAuliffe, in a statement, acknowledged that he "came up short" and offered his "congratulations to Governor-Elect Glenn Youngkin on his victory."

    "I hope Virginians will join me in wishing the best to him and his family," the former governor said.

    I would have to Disagree with such an utterly misguided statement.

    That statement claiming that:

    "The left owns the vast majority of the hatred and violence in this country. You saying otherwise doesn't make it true."

    Is...
    1) Partisan Hyperbole
    2) Only your opinion
    And...
    3) Dead WRONG

    As far as the actual thread topic:

    In recent days, most informed observers had come to expect a Youngkin Victory.

    Youngkin's closing surge was reflected in the polling in the final stretch.

    Obviously, the McAulliffe campaign made several mistakes.
    But, the writing had been on the wall (for awhile now) that Youngkin was going to win.

    The Democrat Party in the 21st-century is actually more like having a 'progressive' case of blood-poisoning. It often starts out localized to a single area in the body, but spreads rapidly everywhere through the various bodily systems. And, if not caught and dealt with quickly, the victim DIES.

    What else would anybody expect (from Terry) but a gracious concession?

    Or have Republicans grown so accustomed to Classless Childish Trumpian "It was Stolen" delusions that they forgot how a Mature Adult handles defeat?

    It was nauseating to watch how hard VA Dems ran on handing out other people's money......which made their defeat even more delicious...

    This is pretty much the cul de sac of the Biden administration.

    All candidates aren't Trump.

    Some politicians are capable of losing gracefully.

    You mean McAuliffe didn’t get massive votes in the middle of the night like Murphy and Biden? Bad planning.

    Huh?

    Show the EXACT Post.

    If you can't, then why are you making things up?
    Link me to WHERE (Exactly) I:

    "assured everyone that VA would go democrat"

    Obviously, you have nothing.
    So, I fully expect you to ignore being called out.
    PS--Quit making things up.:bored:

    Obviously, you lack a basic understanding of the dynamics of the NJ. Race.

    Obviously, with the Dem. Candidate ahead (and most uncounted votes skewing heavily Democratic), NJ is a completely different scenario than VA.

    It's even worse news for the progs trying to ram their socialist agenda through Congress.

    That's why they're bleating "Racist!" at the people who just elected this woman to be their Lt. Governor:

    It's going to be nice for Virginia, they finally won't have any state wide office holders that put on black face or a clan hood. They had to vote all Republican to get there, but they did it.

    Virginia rejects racism and the Democrats in one move. Wasn't it a solid Blue state?

    Maybe, and WHAT can the Dems do? Walk 'ol Joe into "retirement" before 2022 or 2024, and be left with what....KAMALA? A woman whose likability makes Hillary look like Mother Teresa and carrying enough baggage to ground a C-5 Galaxy? I feel their pain....NOT! :D

    Nice to see a guy concede defeat with a little class. Trump and his supporters could learn from this.

    Remember all politics are cyclical. I agree this a little of an upset victory, but not overly unexpected. They came into the race tied.

    It's not just there... in Buffalo, NY and even in Seattle, WA the swings were away from the Leftists. The Buffalo Leftists was defeated by.... a write in candidate.

    The Left has pissed off most of America and the results are showing.
