If he wins, the psychological effect of his victory across the fruited plain will be enormous, and President Trump will benefit to the max.
New Jersey will undoubtedly elect a RAT governor, but then, that's expected on both sides....and the result in NJ will have little to no effect on the MAGA movement.
However, if Gillespie wins in Virginia, it will create positive energy, high excitement and many benefits to the GOP in the ensuing four year term.
To boot, the President will know how to handle Gillespie to the benefit of his administration and his policies....and Ed will owe him big time for his endorsement.
See y'all for a Gillespie victory party tonight on the pages of FR !

Yes, Gillespie himself does not matter, but it will trigger the hell out of the Rats.
I do agree, that Gillespie pulling out VA, even if it is IN SPITE OF HIMSELF, which it absolutely will be, will demoralize the left further... however the flip side is that GOPe will think that a GOPe guy can win... which will continue the internal resistance within the GOP establishment to the MAGA agenda and candidates.
