Hillary Clinton beat Trump in Virginia then Biden took it again in 2020. Now they have young Republican (in terms of running for President lol) Governor who has shown an ability to work with Democrats and seems to have a focus for getting things done.

With Trump in a legal shitstorm and DeSantis talking about political objectives as if he was writing a John Wick script could we see a moderate slip in and unseat Biden?

I like what he does , not sure where you figure him to be moderate. They are going ro have to do a lot more than indict to unseat Trump. My first choice would be Desantis, but Ithink Trump could beat Biden or a Biden clone before Desantis. Name recognition hurts Youngkin, but the guy is as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey for sure. Either one of them or Scott or the Indian man whose name I can’t recall will work for me.

Researching him shows he is the quintessential American Story. His views and professed agenda sounds fantastic to me.

Vivek Ramaswamy has some solid ideas though it seems many of those were cut and pasted from the Trump playbook. He also has a couple of off the wall proposals such as wanting 18-24 year olds to pass a civics test to be able to vote. So much for Conservative values...

If the poll numbers continue to show Youngkin could beat Biden he will be looked at as an alternative. Ramaswamy and DeSantis look more like activists than candidates right now. That may play well in the news media today but will it hold up come debate time?

I haven’t seen a Youngkin vs Biden poll, from what you wrote it sounds like there are some out there. I certainly would vote for him over anything from the opposition. Thanks for the heads up about the Y V B poll

BTW , I saw the link in your original post, would be interested in what the other 49 have to say on the subject.
