Glenn Youngkin is human pablum. He's the ultimate mediocre white guy who will never convince America he's anything else.

“Trump will eviscerate him and send him back to Virginia a broken shell of himself, his political aspirations flapping around him like one of the characters’ costumes in The Road.”

Yup, as will DeFlorida. Even better, Virginia has that inexplicable 1-term law for governors, so if Youngkin doesn’t run for preznut in ‘24 he would do what, challenge everybody’s favorite dad Tim Kaine for Senate?

That's the Republican/National Media (distinction without difference) spin - not what happened

The Democrats actually did much better than they should have against a fired up Republican base and an economy hurt by Covid - and far from pushing him over the top, the attacks on the schools almost cost him the election

Was absolutely a fluke

Parents need a seat at the head of the table? So, if you've got 100 students that means 200 potential parents. That's a lot of seats at the head of the table. Also, too, being at the head makes you think you might be in charge until you realize you're bumping elbows with 199 others who think they're in charge. Please, Glenn, explain to me how this is going to work? kthx.

Perhaps I am just a Republican sock puppet or a media dupe, but I would still be very careful as regards a tactic that strikes directly at the demographic that we must have.
