Yes, it was a bad year, but not 33.7% bad. McQueeg got over a dozen points more than Gilmore in VA, and he wasn’t even attempting to run a winning race. Bob Marshall would’ve broken 40%, at least, but that’s because he was attempting to win. Had Davis competed at the primary convention, Marshall would’ve won in a three-way race.
He was part of New Gignrich’s pseduocon army. They were “conservative” in 1994 and 1995, then they dropped that like a hot potato.
Why was Gilmore so bad? If I remember, the main problem was Warner could self fund, so he would have way more money than any Republican.
Yes, spending was an issue. Warner had close to $14 million and Gilmore had a paltry $2.8 million. Outgoing Sen. John Warner refused to endorse Gilmore, which was seen as a de facto endorsement of Mark (they didn’t come more weasely than John Warner, who rode the corpse of Dick Obenshain to the Senate). Mark Warner also blamed everything on Gilmore (a la “Bush’s fault !”). He led in the polls by 20% (he won by 32%). As it was, running an outsider in Bob Marshall would’ve been better.
I was thinking at the time on FR that it was more prudent to nominate Gilmore and had endorsed him, but he just never got out of the starting gate.
And at this point, who knows if she'll even be the nominee?
This is at least the THIRD time he has posted his silly vanity in the NEWS section; it’s SPAM now.
And at this point, who knows if she'll even be the nominee?
Who knows if Trump will be the nominee? He will get bored and go back to his reality shows. This whole campaign is for his new show Apprentice: Presidential Edition.
Why don’t you just ignore it? Liberals are the ones who want to bane everything. If his candidate isn’t going anywhere, then this won’t help. What are you worried about?
Trump has tons of "dirt" on the whole Clinton family.
He knows how to beat her; none of the others understand how to do that.
You're only speculating about all of this, without comprehending the situation at all. And your biases are showing, nick. LOL
Trump will hopefully be the nominee, or else the Dem will be; especially that COMMIE, Bernie.
Keep that up, and I'll make good on a past threat to change my name to nobody then run for office.
BUt look on the bright side.
My brochures would have to read;
Send campaign donations to this address;
LOL. How would he have any dirt? Besides which, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH DIRT YOU HAVE ON THE CLINTONS, BECAUSE THEY ARE IMMUNE.
He knows how to beat her; none of the others understand how to do that.
How does he know that? He know zilch about politics? He knows how to Tweet, how to have Kardashian-style trashy reality show, and he's a mid-tier Manhattan real estate developer. Beyond that, he's not good at anything.
You're only speculating about all of this, without comprehending the situation at all.
You are only speculating. I have a lot of facts. When some of his business failures come out, he will look stupid. When people hear the idiotic deposition under oath, he will look like a fool, and it will be clear he knows nothing about economics and nothing about business, except for certain parts of the real estate business.
And your biases are showing, nick. LOL
Which biases? That I am a conservative. That's the important bias here. Bias 2: I don't trust proven liars and people who change their positions all the time.
If Trump were somehow elected, he would switch parties anyway, because that's where all his cronies are. And his boy Corey Lewanbdowski would unleash weaponized amnesty on the country.
Well, when Trump allegedly becomes the nominee, get back to me so we can bet. I’d hate to take your money on a sure thing, but maybe you need to learn some life experience.
What did you dream
It's alright we told you
what to dream
>> Why are we not considering Jim Gilmore?
He’s running... isn’t he?
Therefore we ARE considering him.
He is garnering less than one percent of the vote, though. May I go out on a limb here and say that he is not a popular choice?
You don’t think hillary hasn’t seen DT’s FBI file? All that history? LOL just thinking that if she does bring up his liberal past she just might lose all of her voters to him!
The one thing that Trump has in his past is that he has been talking about how politicians have screwed up the economy. I’m going to do some major research into his spoken views. I found his 1991 visit The House Task Force on Urgent Fiscal Issues and am putting together a timeline. Seems it takes some time for legislation to take effect.
I am also going to find out what the supporters of Reaganomics think about DT. THAT is most important if that is why he is supported.
who is this guy with the muslim name? Did he win because of the hannity hillary express?
Crowd fund it and you’ll make a million. I might support “nobody.” Especially if I saw it on the ballot.
Careful or I’ll ping the rest of the Gilmore caucus.
What all one of them?
