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.

Not a good time to say this. The guy just lost a tough race. No need to rub salt into wounds. I disagree. This is an important lesson for the GOP and Trump is right to call him out. You're kind of thinking is why Republicans, like Gillespie lose every time. We need a fighter, and that is Trump.

Failed Senate candidate.
Failed Gov candidate.
What next? Move to another state and try again?

Yep... had Gillespie won it would have been in spite of himself.

Frankly, Trump is not helping matters. Dems are in the same position we were when Obama was President.
We need to vote for Republicans and unite behind the candidates, or we will loose big.

Gillespie is a loser. Nobody in VA could get excited about him. Let’s face it, the Democrats were motivated in this election and the Republicans were not.

Guys like Gillespie will lose every time, and it's time for the GOP to stop this insanity of imposing losers for candidates.

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