Never thought I’d see the day when Pennsylvania and Michigan actually have brighter futures than Virginia.
An utter lie. Virginia is a Demon Rat state that stayed Demon Rat.
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8, 2017
No surprise nationally. Hillary carried Va and Jersey. Trump needs to fire more Federal employees - as many as possible. They have infiltrated northern and eastern Va.
A Democrat ran against a RINO. This means, in all ways that matter, the Democrat ran unopposed.
It would have been big news if Gillespie would have won but, this is expected in that state these days.
It will be much harder to fight the rampant election fraud in Virginia now.
“Gillespie kept Trump at a distance throughout the campaign”
Explains it all right there.
In the last decade, thanks to illegal immigration and the establishment Republicans letting it happen, Virginia has become a solid blue state.
In Northern Virginia illegal aliens and green card immigrants have been registered by the tens of thousands, and they vote. Establishment Republicans control the legislature but with few exceptions allowed the illegal alien invasion and vote fraud continue because they wanted the Chamber of Commerce and cheap labor donor class support and funding.
Gillespie was with them supporting amnesty until he got desperate at the end and picked up the sanctuary city scheme, which he never would have lived up to. He barely beat a true Make America Great Again conservative Corey Stewart by less than 1% in the primary and then he and his campaign disowned those supporters and Trump voters by trying to woo democrat “moderates”.
He didn’t get beat by Northam. He got beat because he dissed the Deplorables base like the rest of the Virginia Republican establishment has been doing. He got payback.
Because of illegal immigration, Virginia is becoming the California of the east. And Republicans let it happen.
No surprise. VA is deep state now. In aer 10 years they will wind up like us here in CA

Not really surprised.
This election was a bloodbath. Rs lost everything and likely the legislature as well.
Too many D.C. commies have ruined the place.
The future of the R party lies in the working class voters of Ohio, PA, and the upper Midwest.
Oddly enough, the losses Democrats suffered in all the other off-year and special elections were not -- repeat NOT -- due in large part to the disgust generated by Hillary or Obunghole.
The worst part about losing this for the Republicans is having to hear all the crowing from the left.
NeverTrump Repubics lose again. He was a Bush guy and GWB campaigned and fundraised with him.
He was trailing until a sudden flood of NE Virginia ballots were counted?
So they keep painting every election as a referendum on Trump until they win some?
Time to drain the swamp.
To all those who think a “real Republican” would have won, forget it - VA is gone. Trump lost VA to Crooked Hillary. It doesn’t matter what kind of candidate you run. DC doesn’t even run Republicans for mayor, and you’re voting against the same kind of people. Maybe one year we’ll catch them snoozing but other than that, not happening.
