Ed Gillespie is a Cheap Labor Express Republican who lost his Senate bid because he refused to use Warner’s vote for the Gang of Amnesty bill against him because he agrees with amnesty.
We need a governor who is on the side of the citizens and the rule of law, not a Bush leftover who sides with illegal aliens and their employers.

The VAGOP is still run by the Cheap Labor Express.
They want Gillespie because he does not support President Trump or the citizens in getting rid of the illegal aliens.

I won’t vote for him if he is nominated.

Agree. The Virginia Gop, a lot of them are total establishment. Prince William ,I’m not sure how many but has a lot of people from outside of Virginia. They aren’t big on Trump, therefore they don’t want Corey. I’m not voting for Gillespie if he is nominated either. Another New York liberal. NJ what’s the difference.

The establishment guys from up North and I’m sure some from Virginia run the Virginia GOP. Not a good sight to see. Gillespie can go jump in a lake. He’s not from Virginia or a conservative. Why should I vote for him ?

Corey Stewart has been campaigning in the red part of the Commonwealth trying to become known. I know he’s been an outspoken defender of our heritage.

Corey Stewart has been standing up for the citizens against illegal aliens for a long time when pretty much no one else would.

Gillespie has the money men behind him.

He’ll lose but the establishment would rather lose than let anyone win who supports the rule of law.

Why should I vote for him ?

**********************************

Well, because he has an R jersey.......

Or you have to vote against the Democrat........
because he wears an R jersey.

My days of voting for the R jersey are long behind me.

Dave Brat earns my vote.
Trump earned my vote.

Gillespie isn’t even trying to.

Agree, they are part of the swamp. The assembly is controlled by the Gop, they have slight control of the Senate. The governor without them can’t do a lot.
