The Hill ^

President Trump blasted GOP gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie in a tweet Tuesday evening in an effort to distance himself from the Republican's losing effort in Virginia.

Trump's tweet knocking Gillespie came shortly after news outlets called the race for Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, who looks to be on track for a comfortable victory.

It was more of a tweet against the Dem. Gillespie pushed Trump away and campaigned with the Bushes.

Shows how much pull the Bushes have today - none. I think this was Trump taking a veiled shot at the Bush family.

Very funny. Anyone who prefers any Dem to any Rep is a fool. Take a good look at the results tonight.

Dude, get freaking real. Either you or I could have won virginia on a write in ballot if we just said we support Donald Trump 100%.

Hands freaking down.

These RINO bastiges still want to play their games, and guess what ? THEY LOSE.

Whatever

Maybe the GOPe will finally figure that out, not bloody likely.

It’s the best time to make his point while defeat is fresh in the minds of the GOPe and Republican voters.

It’s a block to him coming out and saying Mr. Trump is the reason I lost.

Never Trumper Gillespie lost for not supporting Trump. Good riddance to this two-time loser.

I don't think he's a Never Trumper. This is the first I've heard anyone say that.

This is all moot to be because Trump himself lost the state of Virginia by 5 points. If he couldn’t even win, why would the pro-Trump guy win? The state is a blue state.

It must be eating the Bush Family alive as they can clearly see they have no pull and it is only going to get worse from here.

I don’t think history is going to be too kind to the Bush family once all is revealed.

For comparison, how much more pull does President Reagan have and he isn’t even alive?

Gillespie’s loss doesn’t surprise me. My guess is so many Marylanders have flocked down into NoVa by now that the governor’s mansion will be blue indefinitely.

So many of the leftists from Maryland did invade NOVA because of the wasteland they created back in Maryland. What makes it worse is those same scumbags have allowed thousands of foreigners in to the area and those people did not come to the USA to become real citizens but to extract as much wealth as they can. Those same foreigners do not want to be Americans so they vote in ways to turn our Country into the same hellholes from which they came.

I can go to Prince William County, the county just north of mine, and the majority of people I see in the stores are foreign. Go two counties north into Fairfax County and you are in a third world state.

Trump didn't win VA and it wasn't all that close. You're not sounding intelligent.

Gillespie is a chinless globalist, unfit for the Trumpian era.

Trump was tweeting his support for Gillespie earlier today. Now he turns on him. He needs to learn that loyalty is a two-way street.

...

There is no two way street. The GOPe hates Trump.
