Buyer’s remorse?  Not in Virginia by a long shot.  The democrats, who dominate this state, couldn’t be happier.  Christopher Newport University released a poll in late January showing a 60+% approval rating for Spanberger.. so I’m not sure where this “buyer’s remorse” narrative is coming from.

Correct.  Unless a flaming meteor takes out Northern VA, the Old Dominion is permanently blue.

Sounds like a plan.

The only hope we have is Youngkin running again. His campaign slogan should be "See I told you".
Seasrs thought she had it in the bag and didn't campaign until 3 months before the election and by that time it was too late.
You cannot serve two consecutive terms as governor in VA, which is why Youngkin didn't run.
The GOP was AWOL for Sears' campaign; even Trump did not give her an endorsement.
It got off to a poor start and did not really get it together.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Virginia is the Democrat’s model for 2028.

Run on a “moderate” message.

Get elected.

Then go to town by enacting every far left wing wish list item.

What is their state slogan, "Virginia is for Losers".

When a state or city goes from blue to red, democrats don't write off the area and walk away.  They double and triple down until they win it back.

But,  conservatives, genius political strategists that they are, not only run away --- they kick the voters on the way out and label them losers.  Toxic, thy name is conservative.

Conservatives should stand down while there's a chance this nation can be saved --- seriously.  You're a big part of the problem. Shoo ----

Well, I don't live in Virginia. But I do spend time there vacationing and visiting family, and I do know politics pretty damned well.

The reason the GOP lost the gubernatorial race is because the dysfunctional state Republican party isn't worth a warm bucket of spit when it comes to promoting, defending and funding conservatives.

They did little to help Winsome-Sears (and she didn't do nearly enough herself, it would appear).

And Donald Trump's lukewarm support for Sears was a liability more than an asset for the Republicans, even as his personal popularity numbers in VA are and have always been highly negative.

Trump polls slightly higher in Minnesota, for Pete's sake. If the Commonwealth's GOP had been united and focused on pocketbook issues rather than divisive social ones, neither Trump's tepid enthusiasm for the candidate, nor his unpopularity would have been such a big deal.

A better candidate would also have helped, but... that's water under the bridge. Enjoy your new Marxist governor.

As a Virginia born and raised "hillbilly" myself, let me say that you are 100% correct!

Understatement of the century.  They didn't support Youngkin.  They didn't support Earle-Sears.  And they actively campaigned AGAINST Ken Cuccinelli.
