Regardless of who wins the gubernatorial race Tuesday in Virginia, one victor is guaranteed: Donald Trump.The former president has jumped headfirst into the race in recent days,that he never held and hosting a tele-rally Monday that lasted mere minutes.
Trump’s insistence on becoming part of the dialogue in the nation’s most-watched governor’s race comes at a time of uncertainty for his post-presidency, with national Republicans barely hiding their hopes that a Youngkin victory would show a way for a Republican to win a battleground state without Trump's imprimatur. It is, his aides concede, a thinly-veiled attempt to demonstrate his continued prominence within the GOP.
“In 2017, it was wake up, see what Trump tweeted, and have to answer for it as Democrats pushed it around,” Martin said. “Virginia Democrats got too comfortable with that. It was easy for them when we had someone in the White House and we had to deal with that every day, vs. them being retired in Florida and them being off Twitter and they’re just one issue out of many.”
Another Trump adviser said Youngkin has benefited from Democrats framing the race around Trump, as it has allowed him to talk about issues such as education and crime instead. Former Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock, an outspoken “Never Trump Republican” who blames her 2018 reelection loss on the “toxic” conditions Trump created in the commonwealth and across the country that year, gleefullyto point out the Drudge Report headline: “YOUNGKIN WINNING WITHOUT TRUMP.”
Since he always loses and pretends to win, this is like breathing to him.
He is completely controlled by his ego! It's odvious what he believes in! HIMSELF!
Trumpism is the danger.

Is there ever a point when Donald Trump paints himself as a loser, intentionally? Maybe that’s because he has so many opportunities to do that, he’s not sure about which one he should choose.
Water is wet.
Consider the source: Never understood why anyone would listen to, much less believe, anything a well documented liar like him says.
What did he win? Why is the media so obsessed with Trump still? Do they honestly believe their lies and conspiracies for 4 years will miraculously become reality?
