 Happy conservative warrior Glenn Youngkin’s recipe for success in Virginia … and the US

Imagine New York with a governor who wants to lower the cost of living and grow jobs, fix failing school systems and empower parents, support law enforcement and make our neighborhoods safer, attract more businesses to the state and stop the exodus of New Yorkers, make government work and address the mental health crisis, all while standing for unity and taking the “smashmouth” out of politics.

How nice that would be.

Sadly, it’s a pipe dream in New York, for now, at least.

But in Virginia, it’s the recipe for success for Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and in just 18 months, the rookie politician has started to turn his state around.

The genial former private equity chief executive is living proof that “conservative common sense policies work,” in a state that he sees as a microcosm of America.

In 2021 his soothing mix of gentle optimism and policies focused on the economy, public safety, and “empowering parents,” won him a standout victory in a state that had voted for Joe Biden by 10 points and backed Democrats for two decades.

Gov. Youngkin is an outstanding Governor and the rest of his team is an all-star group.  He has indeed set Virginia on a far better path. I hope he stays out of that dumpster fire of a GOP primary…. Let Trump have it and the ass-kicking that follows in the general election.  Youngkin would be primed well for a run in 2028.

I would vote for Youngkin if he was a candidate for POTUS..I really like him..

[Maj. Bill Martin]

He's the type of guy who wins national elections.  May not be hardcore conservice across the board but certainly a legit choice.

We can hope, but it's entirely possible that Trump will destroy the 2028 elections as well.

Agree ...and he's done so against strong statehouse opposition against every step he takes.

Since his term ends in Jan 2026 and he's ineligible for a consecutive second term, Youngkin will need a plan to stay relevant and productive through 2026 into 2027.   Former Governors tend to fade once out of office ----- and we can count on the legacy media to completely ignore him.

Unfortunately, that is a real risk, particularly if his Cult of Personality continues on its virulent path.
