McAuliffe didn’t take his opposition seriously and suffered the consequences—as did Virginia.

Youngkin is no more qualified to be president than he is qualified to be chairman of the physics department at MIT. That may not matter to Republicans, but it matters to the rest of the world, where, except for Putin, Xi and Orbán, the Republican candidate for president has few fans.
