McCauliffe must not feel comfortable about his chances in Virginia. Most of the military votes for the Republican candidate anyway (except against Trump).

1. Gavin Newsom should give Terry a call

Just sayin’

[msongs]

2. like when gore ran away from clinton....nt

[vercetti2021]

3. Shades of 2010

Literally this shit happened during the 2010 midterms when Democrats were trying to distance themselves away from Obama and the ACA. And how the fuck did that work out for them? If Terry loses. It'll be his own fucking fault

[qazplm135]

4. obviously he was talking to other Dems

and someone leaked it out, it's not like he said anything that isn't true and it's not like he intended it to get out.

[vanlassie]

6. True? Seriously? He won. He's doing a great job.

[qazplm135]

7. Being popular or not popular

has nothing to do with winning or doing a great job.

He won. He is doing a good job. Guess what, he's still under 50 percent.

He ain't popular right now.

Is that his fault? No. Is it permanent? No.

Is it reality? Yes.

Leave fantasy to the other side, we deal in the real.

[vanlassie]

10. Oh I see. You are strictly a poll person.

His ratings are related to Afghanistan. Which history will judge him well on. And we DEMS know that that clusterfuck was very much a Trump stink.

[qazplm135]

13. Lol

Do you have another measure of current popularity?

It's not just Afghanistan.

You seem very tied to the idea that he has to be popular no matter what because he's awesome.

Obama was awesome and he had several periods of unpopularity.

[vanlassie]

14. No, I object to a Democratic candidate making such an

Inappropriate comment.

[qazplm135]

15. Inappropriate how?

He was talking his team and it got leaked.

He wasn't talking in an interview or a comment intended for public view.

[vanlassie]

17. Has he apologized? If he thinks he can't win I hope he isn't

planning on blaming it on Biden.

[qazplm135]

18. You're hard set

On overreacting to this so I'll leave you to it.

5. I will never understand this

Let's run away from the president because the conservatives don't like him.

DEmocrats did this with Clinton, the did this with Obama and now they are starting to do this with Biden. Maybe McCauliffe would rather have Monster45 back. Come on Terry, don't fuck this up.

[PortTack]

8. All in all that's a shitty thing to say. Especially to fellow Dems. Your state voted to elect him

No doubt about it!!

9. Questionable move by a usually sharp tactician

It’s not like Trump carried Virginia, and Youngkin is a Trumpanzee.

[catsudon]

11. well i've been paying attention

he has made more than one blunders and this election should be in the bag for him especially because youngkin is a trumpanzee (love this word, glad to find out i'm not the only one to use it.)
but the polls are close and that defies logic.

perhaps he's blaming the closeness on Biden's numbers

12. If he alienates the base in Fairfax county, he risks losing it

That is the most educated, most affluent, most populous part of the whole state. No statewide race is won by a Democrat if the voters in Fairfax County get alienated and stay home.

As a former governor AND former DNC chair, he HAS to be aware of that.

[budkin]

16. This actually shocks me.

I'm surprised he would get that desperate.

[Mysterian]

19. Mcauliffe alienated many Democrats in western Virginia

with his unqualified and instant support for the hugely destructive (and thankfully cancelled) Atlantic Coast pipeline project.
