The false assertion is that Gellispe was a not an RINO establishment candidate but instead ran as a Trump MAGA candidate. That assertion is preposterous.

The way the RINOs look at this, if a dem won they won. The uniparty deep state politics won yesterday, no way to sugar coat it. I notice some pervert cs even won over a conservative in Va. That is the effect of being taught the inclusion BS 24/7 in our schools by a radical left teaching corps. Trump managed to galvanize those who actually voted for a candidate who said it like it was. Apparently those electing candidates yesterday only care about being on the dole, directly like in the case of the No Va government leaches (both workers and contractors) and those indirectly like those who get benefits by way of the state as in the social payoffs. In summary, the collaboration between the dems and the anti trump GOPe in the house and senate caused the result we saw yesterday. They will be emboldened by it.

Uh, they already had a DemocRAT Gubner. The “never Trumper” Gillespie got his ass handed to him because he wouldn’t get on the Trump Train!

The problem was Ed was a swamp dweller and did campaign as a Trump supporter but the opposite. The WH advised him to bring in Trump and campaign on Trumps agenda but he tefused.

He was a McConnell clone

Free birth control for women and it that fails they can still kill their babies. Women wonder why men think they are selfish. PS Women are the majority voters and they do swing the elections.

Nope, as usual the Left is lying.
This was NOT a rejection of Trump.
The fact they were SWEATING this one tells you all you need to know.

I have never in my life based my vote for state and local candidates on who was in the White House.

Insofar as Trump lost both NJ and Va., I don’t see how this is such a big deal. Va’s gov was already a dem...no gain there for the left.

NJ is one of the smattering of blue states that went Hillary in 2016.

Other than pump the dems’ ego, I don’t see much of a big deal here.

Liberal Washingtonians move to Virginia because of lower taxes and crime, and then vote for politicians who will increase taxes and allow crime to increase.

Right. And in other breaking news this morning, I never said I did.

"I’m not sure if Stewart would have won the Governor’s race, but I believe there would have been a higher turnout. NorthernVA (DC) and Richmond dominate now."

Virginia has been a Swamp driven crack whore for years.

The best thing Trump could do to help Virginia in the long run is to further gut federal government jobs and temporarily crater Virginia's economy, especially in Northern Virginia.
