...The president is spurring Democrats to the voting booth while letting his own base drift away. His job approval in the Real Clear Politics average is 38%, 8 points below his share of the vote last November. In other words, 1 out of 6 people who cast ballots for Mr. Trump disapprove of his performance. This showed up in Southwest Virginia and the Shenandoah Valleythe commonwealths Trump Country. Mr. Gillespie carried these areas by impressive margins, but turnout was either down or simply not up as dramatically as in the anti-Trump suburbs...
..Mr. Gillespie did win independents statewide, 50.5% to 48.9%. He also poached some Democratic voters in the Richmond area, across the states Southside, and even in the northern suburbs. But Mr. Northam pilfered Republican votes in Tidewater areas that he previously represented in the state Senate for six years.

Karl Rove is a hack Bush establishment that gets invited to
Kennebunkport every summer along with Perino. What do you expect?
Dictionary definition of the word “Rove”: “To wander constantly without any fixed destination.” Names have meaning.
Karl Rove, isn’t he the “The Architect”, Hannity’s idol for so many years?
Agree.
Rove needs to pack it up and go home. He is no longer relevant. He’s like the party guest who stays after everyone has left and the hosts want to clean up and go to bed and he just can’t take a hint and leave.
Weren’t those job approval numbers derived from all respondents and not likely voters?
It also shouldn’t be surprising that Trump voter turnout was down when Trump was not on the ballot.
Even if Trump was on the ballot he’d have as much chance of winning Virginastan as he would California.
The democrat got 71% of Hillary’s vote while Gillespie only got 55% of Trumps vote. If there was any message being sent its that the establishment Gop was being rejected and those in congress who are fighting Trump. The Gop congress has not delivered.
Rove can move into the GHWB family compound, and take old fossils like George Will and Billy Kristol with him.
Virginia Voters...
2016 - Trump - 44.4% - Lost the state
2017 - Gillespie - 45.0% - Lost the state
A “Mass Extinction” for Republicans?
Looks to me like nothing has changed - and that’s after 12 months of relentless MSM attacks on Trump!
Rovio is a lying, traitorous, coward
Sorry, that's incorrect.
Gillespie got 66.3% of Trump's vote.
1,173,326 (Gillespie) divided by 1,769,443 (Trump) = 66.3%
Also, Gillespie beat Trump in percentage of total voters.
2016 - Trump - 44.4%
2017 - Gillespie - 45.0%
Loser Ed was a never trump rhino retread that already lost a VA state election for senate two yeas ago .
So the fat cat lobbyist run / Bushie Globalist run state GOP push this certified Loser again ?
Rove and the Bushie are the problem .
VA GOP is utterly corrupt and owned by K street.
Virginia is a blue state due to Washington DC and its Virginia suburbs. A Republican National Candidate will never take Virginia again nor a governorship. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were blue states. They went red during the last election. If Trump can expand work and prosperity in our nation and in particular those three states they will be red states in the future.
Go away Karl Rove. Your 15 minutes of fame are over. Please take the Bush’s with you.
Add the thousands of McAuliffe's new Felon-voters to the voter rolls.
Got nothing to do with Trump. Got everything to do with demographics and government largeness.
Karl Marx - sorry Rove, I meant - shut the F up, you Globalist antiTrump jackass. Americans are sick of you, the Republican elites and the whole swamp in DC. It wasn’t Trump, it was the Virginia Republican Party, who nominated a Democrat light instead of a Conservative!!
So how is it “Mr.” Rove that the GOP still has a majority in the Virginia state legislature? My guess is that November 2018 is going to prove you so wrong maybe finally you will slink back into whatever hole GWBush found you in, never to be heard from again.
Stick your white board up your ass Tokyo Rove and go away.
