When that campaign started I opined here on FR that Gillespie would lose. He’s low energy like Jeb. He badmouthed the Trump philosophy. And according to Laura Ingraham this morning he ran on a 21 Point Program. I can see eyes glazing over just thinking about him droning on about his 21 points!

Gillespie was a moderate Republican who lost big in a Blue State.

The kind of milquetoast Republican who doesn’t offend any one. No one was excited by him.

In a state Trump lost by 5 points, he got trounced by 8.

Laura Ingraham had Gillespie as a guest on her show Monday night. He repeated his talking points about his 21 point plan in the style of Jeb Bush, or any other boring establishment RINO from the 1990s. It was pathetic, and he lost my interest in the first thirty seconds.

I can just imagine what a rally with the guy was like - the ushers would go around at the end and wake everybody up.

Gillespie apparently saw what happened in the presidential election and figured he would bring together the campaign strategies of Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and Kelly Ayotte.
