Yes, it’s absurd at the moment. 5 minutes after somebody wins the Governorship they talk ‘em up for the Presidency. Like you said, let’s see how he does in the Gov chair. It’s been 8 years since Gilmore left office, and McDonnell has the Mark Warner-Tim Kaine mess to clean up.
what I hope does not happen though is for smugness or arrogance or complacency to set in.....
Bush the Elder had his 2nd term locked up and then he was crushed.....things happen....
we must keep working hard....
