No it won't. If Gillespie wins it will be heralded as only an Establishment candidate GOP hack can win. F*** the GOP. Gillespie IS the poster child for the GOP Establishment.

I can't back Trump's Nationalist agenda 100% and vote for him and turn around an vote for the GOP punk. It will make me physically ill and I probably couldn't make myself do it anyway.

Sitting this one out.

It's one four year term. We will get another primary in four years to get a non Establishment candidate. If Gillespie wins this year it will not make that argument any easier that we need a non GOP hack to run.

“If it takes an endorsement to help defeat the radical, antifa left from taking over control of our state, I will do it,” Stewart said, using a word used to describe left-wing activists. “But whether that’s an endorsement or bringing some energy to the base to show up and vote, whatever it takes, I will do whatever I’m asked to do.”

Evidently your guy has a better idea of what's at stake then you do.
