Trump endorses dozens ahead of Tuesday elections — but doesn’t name Earle-Sears
President Donald Trump endorsed more than 50 Republicans on Sunday night — but didn’t specifically name Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears ahead of Tuesday’s critical elections.

In dozens of social media posts, the president threw his support behind both first time hopefuls and those seeking reelection, including Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Earle-Sears, facing off against Democrat Abigail Spanberger, was not mentioned by name among the 53 endorsements Trump issued Sunday.
Still holding a grudge like a toddler denied a toy they desire.

Like he should specifically endorse someone who in 2022 called him a liability and said he should not run in 2024. :roll:

He did say in Oct:
“I haven’t been too much involved in Virginia — I love the state; I did very well in the state. I think the Republican candidate is very good, and she should win because the Democrat candidate is a disaster.”

Yesterday told people in VA to vote for Republicans up and down the ballot.

53 endorsements on Sunday and she wasn't one of them. Why not? Maybe because she called him a liability, maybe it's because she's black. He probably thinks she's "low IQ". :D

Predictions:
NYC:
The Commie wins comfortably in NYC. Cuomo would only be marginally better for NYC.
Electing the commie as NYC mayor will help Stefanik in the the 2026 NY Gov race vs Hochul and conks in general 2026.

NJ and VA both blue states win by Harris by close to 6 points. Off year election with a conk in the White House would normally mean double digit wins for the donks.

VA:
I’ve paid a little more attention to since I‘m originally from VA and I have family there. The empty suit donk Spanberger, wins comfortably over the not great candidate Sears by single digits.
-The Lt Gov (I have no idea who the candidates are) goes blue.
-The incumbent Attoney Gen Miyares (JMU grad) wins over ‘gets 2 bullets to the head‘ Jay Jones (W&M grad), which would result in a very unusual split ticket election.

NJ the donk Sherrill wins a close one low single digits over Citarelli.
Lt Gov and Attny Gen I have no idea who they are.

Why are you trying to get Mamdami assassinated by calling him a commie? This unhinged, violent, extremist, rightwing rhetoric needs to stop!

Anyone that calls Mamdami a commie but bitched about trump being called a fascist/Nazi should check themselves.

That's ironic coming from the guy who's turned the DHS into the KGB and is attempting to turn the American free market into a government controlled command economy.

The question that needs to be asked is - Which side is he really on?

He's on his side. That's all Trump's ever been, always about him. There's no deep thinking going on, I'm not sure there's any thinking going on. That's always been his schtick.

Based on what? That just sounds like clickbait. Have you tried renting a UHaul? Where are the photos? Do the well-to-do even use UHauls? All sounds made up.

Oh yeah, the private jets are backing up the runway on every county airport on Long Island and the Hamptons have been shuttered :lol:

It is early November, with a cold front coming in next week dropping the highs to maybe the low 40's. Not exactly prime Hamptons weather. Besides, Long Island exists outside of the five boroughs. There's no reach from the mayor of NYC to those hamlets. That's why Long Island existed in the first place.

Developer Isaac Toledano, CEO of Miami-based BH Group, told Fox News Digital that his company has closed more than $100 million in signed contracts from New York buyers in just the past few months – about twice last year’s volume.

"I think the election accelerated how people make decisions," Toledano said. "I think people are nervous [for] what's coming, how it's going to affect their lifestyle, the quality of life, taxes, potential of crime [or] no crime."

The weather is generally nicer in the warmer states, which predominantly tend to be red states. The overall population is aging, and when people get old and retire they tend to move to warmer states. And red states largely tend to treat retirement income more favorably than the blue states they are leaving.

Blue states also tend to have better public education systems. I could see that gap widening with trump's changes to education and I wonder if that will impact where younger couples/families want to live.

You can always find enclaves of good education, even in crappier states. Money solves a lot of problems. The rich in Alabama still have good schools for their kids. As for where people want to live, the biggest thing, or two things, is where their family is and where the jobs are. They worry about education once those two things are settled.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory has New Yorkers running for the hills — or at least private schools outside of the city.

Since the results of Tuesday’s election came in, school placement consultant Christopher Rim told The Post he’s had no less than 23 clients reach out to him. They’re looking to relocate — and they want his help getting their kids into elite private high schools and middle schools in other states

“Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move,” said Rim, the founder and CEO of Command Education

I wasn't talking about the rich, they can always send their kids to private schools. Quality of public education impacts the middle class and below the most.

For them, jobs and family are the primary factors. But I think there are some who think quality of education is also an important consideration and I think that number will grow. It's a question of how much. Might be a tiny, imperceptible amount, might be more. I'm not sure I'd want to raise a family in Mississippi (or one of these states pushing religious indoctrination in public schools) in the future.
