As I’ve noted before, whether people in Virginia like it or not (and one union guy here can’t stand it), this is a NATIONAL ELECTION. In other words this is a NATIONAL REFERENDUM on Trump, particularly if Gillespie loses, but also if he wins. Consider:
1) Hillary won Virginia by OVER 5 POINTS and Trump is ‘hated’ by the country (at least per the media). This election should be a Democrat blow-out, of at least 10 points, if not 15 points.
2) But if Gillespie wins, then the entire narrative that the Left and the media has been attempting simply goes out the door...and with that, the enthusiasm of the Left...it’s gone. The DNC is CRUSHED.
3) So Gillespie is RINO GOPe type. Big deal! It would be great to see the second coming of Reagan running for governor, but NO ONE, outside of perhaps 50,000 well-connected Republicans in Virginia will look at a Gillespie defeat as anything other than a REJECTION OF TRUMP...as that is exactly how the media will play it. So if some people here think they’re ‘teaching the Virginia GOP a lesson’ by letting the Democrat win, EVERY HEADLINE (and I mean every one) and EVERY NEWSCAST (and I mean every one) will say that TRUMP WAS REJECTED on Wednesday, should Gillespie lose.
Yes, in a perfect world, we’d find a clone of Reagan to run in Virginia, but there is a Primary process and Gillespie is who we got...and like it or not, Trump wins or loses with Gillespie.
You good sir, are 100% correct in your viewpoints, outlooks and analysis. Too bad there are so many “negative” Republican/Conservative, voters in Virginia that are not as enlightened or strategics thinkers as you are.
If we all stuck together and voted for Ed Gillsepie, we will turn Virginia” “RED” once again, and destroy the entire Democrat Party in the process...SAD!!!
Go Gillespie, Go POTUS, Donald J. Trump....MAGA!!! Cast your votes for Ed Gillespie!!!
