Hey Mr. “think before you type” ... how do you explain that Jill Vogel got more votes running as Lt. Governor than Gillespie running for Governor.

Let me give you a clue, Jill Vogel embraced Trump.

Gillepsie’s late momentum was attributed to speaking out against sanctuary cities — a Trumpian policy. Problem for Ed was that it was too little too late and most people didn’t really believe Rove’s establishment candidate.

If the GOP had a more anti-establishment pro Trump candidate running for governor, then it would have created much more grass roots enthusiasm and the results would have been different tonight — maybe not a win but much closer.

Stick that into your crackpipe Mr. “think before you type.”

That is great Vogel embraced Trump, but she lost by 5.4 points, so what difference did that make? Not much. A race decided by 5 points or more is considered a comfortable win.

Again, Trump himself lost in Virginia one year ago by almost a quarter of a million votes. If Trump can't win in Virginia, how can someone that is a Trump mini me win?

Virginia is now a blue state. It is no longer competitive and my guess is that in 2020, Trump won't even campaign in Virginia. Virginia will not be considered a battleground state and attention will be elsewhere. Something to think about.
