With that reasoning, makes sense why you likely supported Kamala with no primary votes

Youngkin won by keeping Trump away and distancing himself from MAGA. That was a winning strategy last time.

...wut?

She already won. Who else, other than Youngkin, had the same receipts?

Is that an easier way for you to conceptualize an answer?

Virginia is dominated by NOVA and they branded this shutdown as the GOPs fault when it’s 100% on them.

It doesn't matter whose fault it actually is, it only matters whose fault people think it is. That's who is going to get the blame and who is going to suffer the repercussions.

DOGE hit NoVa hard. Government institutions are entrenched.

So, how is her not winning somehow Trump's fault?

Youngkin was a one-off.
For goodness sakes, NOVA elected an AG who said he'd be all-in for murdering Republicans' kids. That is how perverted the VA electorate is.

Well, if you have to whore yourself to win what is the point?

That was also after the lest election was stolen from Trump.

Tell us what Youngkin actually ACCOMPLISHED while governor. That may have something to do with it.

Va is the leader amongst states building data centers

Its a huge concern among Virginians because electricity rates have gone up 250+% since. Earles-Sears dodged the issue, and laid out no plan for mitigating the costs among consumers. Plus shes not a natural born American

In an age of immigration regret, and a black woman in the south, even conservatives werent rushing to her side

Bad candidate selection.

Much more likely explanation than

Because he abandoned MAGA and Virginia ran an immigrant as the GOP candidate.
