Jim was a great car dealer, an okay Governor (ended the car tax),but failed at a run for Senate at the same time David Brat was knocking off Eric Cantor. So probably not Presidential material.
“Jim...failed at a run for Senate at the same time David Brat was knocking off Eric Cantor.”
Nope. Gilmore ran for Senate in 2008, the year of Obamalove, and Brat defeated Cantor in 2014.
