Youngkin has yet to prove that he’s a fighter and currently that is an indispensable quality. A real degree of ruthlessness along with the smarts to grasp where the left may be most gutted are also essential qualities needed to right the ship of state.

Agree that Trump is most useful to the Republicans and conservative causes from outside any political office. I, too, voted for him twice and liked the things he accomplished, but he was becoming increasingly ineffective due to broadening opposition from his own party. Too much of what he accomplished was via executive order, most of which was set aside by his successor. Had he been able to get things done the proper way, through the Legislature, the policy accomplishments would have transcended his time in office.

I’m horrible at predictions and so won’t make any. I do like DeSantis and, so far, Youngkin.

How about just fixing returns where they are at, and just making both systems collections pay back into fixed accounts and policies of the victim’s citizen’s option, within certain defined limits…?

Oh, right, they were Ponzi schemes illegal for anyone NOT a government to run.

When you’ve learned the definition of ‘Ponzi scheme’, get back to me.

Youngkin’s been at it a week. Jeez, people. What he did on day 1 is what politicians try to do these days: Enter with a big splash. It’s become a part of the Presidential protocol, and now to key, spotlighted Guvs.
That said, I’m hopeful he can, over his term, be consistent toward protecting individual rights, limiting government as much as possible, and removing the disease that is ‘progressivism’ from the schools in Virginia.
But…a lot can happen over the course of four years. Let’s see how he does over that time, not over a week.

Barron Trump is now 6’7″ – but I’m not sure why any of that is important.

Other than the often-validated observation that tall people are preferred for authoritative positions.

I’d love to see the Republicans get a landslide in House elections this year and elect Trump as Speaker of the House. According to the Constitution the Speaker does not have to be a House member. I don’t know if he can constrain his ego and let Desantis or someone else carry the banner in 2024, but it would be delicious to watch Biden have to deal with Speaker Trump.

No one commented on my choice for VP. How disappointing. I guess that joke fell flat. Zapardino, the anti-Harris.

Art Deco: “Fine, you and Firefly can make the case for abolishing Social Security and Medicare.”

Oh, get serious. I know you love to argue. But, no one is talking about over turning programs that have been in effect for decades. You are very intelligent, and I know that you can think of numerous ways that the Feds over reach as well as any of we pedestrian intellects can.

it’s still early for Youngkin. even if he is did play basketball for Rice (in Houston).

my preference is currently DeSantis, but mostly due to a more extensive track record.

if Trump really wants to help the country, he’ll stay on the sidelines. his running would only provide the Democrats a better chance of winning. i’m also leary of cults of personality.
