The folks behind Gillespie used a fake Trump email to hit me up for money at 5:30 PM today. I called AMEX. This was a scam to pay GOP in DC- not the RNC. Strange/.
Not quite. I believe the legisl00ture is still GOP, but give it time . . .
They are both cut from the same cloth...the BUSH cloth.
You are not correct my FRiend!
Trump is loved by his supporters.
Love can not be bought.
Gillespie is a protege of the GOP elites.
They are not loved by Trump supporters.
From whatbI understand Trump is deeply hated in deep blue Virginia. I view VA with the same disdain I have for my California. Any state that overwhelmingly voted for 0bama twice and then for Hillary deserves misery
The best cure for a boil is to squeeze the puss out.
The never Trumpers are the puss, Gillespie among them.
Gillespie REFUSED to ask Trump to campaign for him with advice from Karl Rove and the Bushes. That sealed his fate.
And Gillespie realized his mistake way too late.
>> This is all moot to be because Trump himself lost the state of Virginia by 5 points <<
Don’t be so logical. Logic is out of place on this thread.
(I guess you’ll be flamed.)
As has been stated.....Days of the luke warm Republicans is over.....you either support the voters President or not.....there is no middle line any more..
I’m baffled as to why the Republican Party in Virginia let that POS milquetoast Gillespie run in the first place .....
Yes....that picture...that’s why not

It’s just a little thing called “winning the primary.”
“His turn” or something like that
This outcome cannot be blamed all on Rino Gillespie, although certainly he was part of the problem. Conservative candidates ran for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General and lost by nearly the same margin. Meanwhile the Virginia house of delegates was a blood bath for republicans. They lost 13 seats and the majority!
This morning, local Virginia conservatives on radio were talking about a Republican sweep and picking up delegates in the house.
When I went to vote (in a conservative Virginia district) today, there were very few people in line. Others have told me the same. Maybe conservatives are being turned-off to the process, where it doesn’t seem to matter who they elect?
Gillespie still got 48%, which I thought was surprising since Republicans weren't all that enthused. And of course the Democrats are motivated - they were desperate to win something and show they're still in the game.
There’s a sense that most Republicans are fighting against Trump, so they figure, “What’s the point?”
Well that’s why the GOP is known as the “Stupid Party.”
It has nothing to do with Trump. Over the past 20 years, Virginia has shifted from being a red state to a blue state, most likely due to massive increase in the number of fed bureaucrats who call it home, and the DC grifters who leech off the state.
The MSM is still stuck in the old paradigm and doesn’t get that the world has changed.
