My vote is for Senator Manchin for Conservative of the Year and Governor-Elect Youngkin for runner-up

In my opinion, I think that Senator Manchin should be Conservative of the Year. Although he is clearly not entirely a conservative, he has been instrumental in sinking some of the far-left's policy proposals, such as the Green New Deal and the Build Back Better bill as well as opposing the nomination of Neera Tanden as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. His opposition to these policy proposals drew significant backlash from the far-left. I think Governor-Elect Youngkin should be runner-up because he was elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia in what was considered to be a massive rebuke of President Biden and his policies. He also laid a pathway forward for Republicans going into the 2022 Midterms. Any thoughts?--TheNewRight (talk) 01:00, December 25, 2021 (EST)

Great points. Thank you. We need to narrow this down and pick the winners soon!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 16:48, December 29, 2021 (EST)

My vote is for Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin, who successfully evacuated an American family from Afghanistan amidst the chaos caused by Biden's foreign policy disasters. —LT ^{(The Old Right was right!)} Wednesday, 16:52, December 29, 2021 (EST)

My vote for for Arizona Representative Paul Gosar, who voted against sealing the election results, was the strongest vote against the Juneteenth National Independence holiday, and was censured for merely posting a meme on Twitter. -Mr. Nationalist (talk) 20:04, December 29, 2021 (EST)

I like Sen. John Kennedy. This video should be a permanent exhibit in the Museum of Conservativism as a model of how to talk to a liberal communist. But I know we probably need a younger winner for a role model this year. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 20:12, December 29, 2021 (EST)

I still think Senator Manchin should be Conservative of the Year. He has done more for Conservativism than many Republicans in the Congress.--TheNewRight (talk) 13:21, December 30, 2021 (EST)

Manchin is up for reelection in 2024, when Trump will carry his state by 40+ points. I think Manchin's stance reflects where his constituents are. That's fine, but I don't see it as award-winning.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 16:05, December 30, 2021 (EST)

Downgrading Manchin because he's just doing what 50 Republican senators are already doing, and which the overwhelming number of West Virginia constituents of Manchin want. It's also what Manchin campaigned on to get elected in 2010.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 20:13, December 30, 2021 (EST)
