Bringing all these right wing crazies, to Japan,they would feel right at home

Youngkin is not crazy, he’s a Republican that won in a deep blue state. Again, the guy is not here to make policy. I think it’s a good thing he’s doing this.

5 ( +11 / -6 )

The governor, a former CEO of the Carlyle Group, sidestepped questions about a presidential run, saying “My focus is making sure we advance Virginia’s economic interests and can forge these most trusted supply chains with our friends and allies around the world.”

I am sure the former CEO of one of the biggest war profiteers from the War on Terror will have much to teach Kishida about corporate welfare to fund a defense buildup.

Japanese do not do anything for the US ,but but our Treasuries, they be wise to cash them in ,if American default in 5 week,the GDP was an anemic 1 percent and the Zombie bank Republic Bank could die, because the FDIC said no to a handout, after Chase and another bank pumped 90 Billion into it Google Republic Bank FDIC Bailout

Another political trip disguised as convincing Japanese investors and manufacturers of the benefits of doing business in and with the Commonwealth of Virginia.

That might be a very good thing.

Self goals happen.

Youngkin has adopted an increasingly hard line against China. He disclosed in January that he scuttled an effort by Virginia to land a large electric vehicle battery plant, an initiative between Ford Motor Co and a Chinese company that is setting up in Michigan instead.

Hopefully GY's next US Pres, great resume, no baggage/squeaky clean and hugely important job as Gov. of Virgina in bi-partisan manner etc.

World SURE needs smart, young, energetic, ethical, successful leadership without all the chaos, stupidity, drama and DANGEROUS NSIDERS hijacking 1600 intent on WWIII.

GY has LOTS of support from Women, Independents and many d's, and will have NO problem raising LOTS of $.

Biden's NEVER been more UNPOPULAR per Gallop polling released TODAY/37%. c

GY is Biden's WORST nightmare - TALENT and TRACK RECORD!

That all these Governors are making these treks overseas to further boost their foreign policy credentials just shows they all think Trump is toxic for the party in 2024...and they're right...

And I'm glad tp see our MAGA-posters here boosting Youngkin, who is clearly in the "RINO" part of the party... He ignores Trump as best he can and said on the record that "the results of the 2020 election were certifiable fair and there was no material fraud"...

He's definitely more RINO than MAGA...

"the results of the 2020 election were certifiable fair and there was no material fraud".

Surely the stolen election crowd can’t accept this man.

He has no respect for truth and the fair democratic process.

These are bedrock principles.

It seems like Republicans are now representing the middle class, upper middle class, independent small businesses and more independent non-global companies. Democrats seem to represent the biggest global companies, and the lower income classes. Just my opinion.

There is some truth about that, I wouldn't call him MAGA, even though he is running on MAGA policies, but he also rejects the RINO's so at the very least he's a conservative populist.

Above's pretty accurate, I'd call him 'best practices' realist that's NOT focused on divide and conquer but rather widening the tent, appealing especially to Women, independents and ANYONE interested in ethical behavior and economic growth.

His lane's WIDE but can't alienate RINOs or MAGA, seems obvious if he does so he'll crash and burn.

Got real SHOT given RD and Trump fighting for same voters, raising $ won't be tough for GY, he's least risky choice with MOST upside, best matchup vs. OLD Biden
