Reliable republican voters will hold their noses and vote for him.. but the MAGA voters Trump brought in are not simply those voters. They are voters who had not voted recently and many are not Even registered republicans
I don’t see R winning VA without bringing those new voters in, and I just don’t see someone like Gillespie firing them up.
Maga voters will vote for ed.
if they care, they shouldn’t need someone to fire them up.
if good isn’t up for election, but rather ‘distasteful’ and ‘evil’ are running, I would hope those voters would show up and vote for merely ‘distasteful’.
the lesser of two evils as they say.
JMHO
I am not thrilled with Gillespie, but one reason and pretty much the only reason I would like a Republican to win this is because of Redistricting in 2020. It will be a disaster if a Democrat wins this time. We will lose seats all over the state both federal and state. Count on it.
