Well, this sucks.

Not the best optics that the two most recent Democratic presidents couldn’t pull McAuliffe over the finish line. Needless to say, I’ll be avoiding Twitter for the next few days because all the pricks are going to be yucking it up for a bit.

McAuliffe lost far more so because he ran a bad campaign as opposed to the towering mediocrity he was against running a good one.

1. He was a bad candidate. Aged white males don't sell well. Nt

2. The problem is Virginia likes to go against the president, no matter which party.

This makes 11 times out of 12 that Virginia has chosen a governor of the opposite party of the president. McAuliffe in 2013 was actually the only one to break that rule.

3. It's not over yet!

I'm googling and finding headlines like "too close to call" and "dead heat." That's certainly concerning, but nobody's calling the election for Trumpkin yet as far as I can see.

4. Mc Auliffe was a flawed candidate and not likable.

In the end, it's the old saw... Republicans fall in line, and Democrats fall in love. They did not love McAuliffe.
It did not help that the MSM has been beating up on Democrats in general, nonstop, since Biden took office.

I think we will pull out of this when we pass the transformative legislation before Congress.

6. Two Democratic senators don't want to pass it

Or the voting rights protections that we desperately need.

5. Ditto to not watching anything political or social......ugh.

So happy I’ve got my old time tv shows to keep my spirits up.
