2024 Field

One thang about Springfield has gotten lost in the discussion. It is a city that has been hemorrhaging population since the 1960s. Young and ambitious people leaving. The old being left behind. An influx of immigrants offers an opportunity for renewal. Immigrants bring energy and entrepreneurship. Sure there are strains on the educational system and housing in the short run. And as the mayor there has noted, they could use some help from the state and federal governments. Such help could, for example, rehabilitate some of the boarded-up housing that is a feature of towns like Springfield. Long-term this surge of immigration will be a very good thang for Springfield.

Springfield population:

1960 82,723
1970 81,926
1980 72,563
1990 70,498
2000 65,358
2010 60,608
2020 58,662
2023 58,082

It has been in decline for a long time. This might be their best chance to turn thangs around.

It has happened elsewhere. For example, Jersey City in New Jersey saw its population plummet by a third from 1930 to 1980, but has been revitalized by a surge in immigration since then. It is now a very vibrant and very diverse city. Not without its problems, but in far better shape than when it was hemorrhaging population.

Can’t wait for the crying when Vance wipes the floor with RDS in 28 primary.

Cultists!!!

That you want RDS to be destroyed is the evidence you are in a cult.

RDS has actually delivered the policies you like. Vance has never done amything

But you want RDS to fail.

You know... bc your cult leader told you to
 
Don’t want him destroyed. I just know what will happen. The fact you are a cultist to RDS I can understand why you’d interpret it that way.

I was actually vocal about RDS being VP many months ago or a prominent role in the cabinet. How does that jive with your moronic take?

Jersey city is vibrant because people moved out of Manhattan.

Why are you always so dishonest.

Has nothing to do with immigration aside from people to watch rich people kids and mow their lawns.

Why will he be destroyed? Is MAGA too stupid to elect him?

MAGA knows there are better candidates nationally.

It is what it is. But again - your moronic take is just that since I was a supporter of RDS to be a prominent member of trumps presidency.

TDS has crushed you. So much hatred in your heart. Unhealthy.

The fact that Youngkin can quite possibly turn Virginia red in 2024 makes him a dangerous opponent for the left.

Youngkin has tremendous political instincts. Not a huge fan but he isn’t stupid like some other candidates that most likely ruined their political future.

Not so. Jersey City has been saved by an enormous tide of immigrants. The Asian population has more than tripled since 1990. Also a large increase in the Hispanic population.

The same surge of immigration has been renewing previously declining towns in New Jersey (such as Paterson and Newark) and around the country.

She is having exactly zero impact on who voters will decide to vote for.

I hope the attention is on her while Trump forces people to cover the biggest story this election cycle.

People like Loomer only matter to people like you. You’re not exactly persuadable despite who awful Kamala is.

She’s also important to President Trump

If MAGA KS too dumb to elect the people who have actually a track record of success, then they deserve the fact that the left has advanced further left under Trump than at any other time in history, while losing senate seats. Congressional seats, governors, and state legislatures since 2016.

Maybe Kari Lake will turn the tide. She's one of those good politicians. RDS must be destroyed!

RDD did a good enough job of ruining his political career all by himself.

Just remember - can’t wait till I’m called a Vance cultist. Maybe you can join BL and join Reid and call us deplorable!

I still don't understand what he did to "ruin his political career"

Signed pro life legislation?

Didn’t read the room of the 24 primary. Youngkin saw the writing on the wall while having a more compelling national case than RDS.

You can’t teach instincts. Just like you can’t teach authenticity (even though RDS took “act like Trump” courses!)
