Washington (AFP) - US Democrats claimed a resounding win Tuesday in a crucial governor's race in Virginia, dealing a blow to Donald Trump's politics of division and testing the president's influence ahead of larger battles in 2018 and 2020.

dealing a blow to Donald Trump’s politics of division
When a guy who refused to campaign with Trump loses his election, “Trumpism is rejected”.
Yes, an empty claim.
Your table is excellent also.
So when Bob McDonnell won in 2009, did any of these mainstream media outlets call it a “rejection of Obamaism”?
Only in the minds of Democrats is this a repudiation of Trump. While it certainly may be true for some voters, that does not explain the loss. But Virginia will suffer as a result as their state continues their slide into mediocrity.
More like a blow to Rinos
Swampthing Republicans are still out of control with their refusal to govern. They’re going to lose not just getable dem districts but all of their majorities if they don’t stop fighting the voters.
"...dealing a blow to [President] Donald Trump’s politics of division..."
Virginia:
Where MANY thousands of D.C. Swamp Denizens actually live.
We didn’t want that Rino turd anyway. It’s no rejection of “Trumpism” at all. It’s a full blast rejection of GOPe caca.
The Swamp doesn’t get that we are not listening to them. This is what we’re listening to:

So Virginia’s governorship flipped from red to blue? Yeah, that is a definite rejection of Trumpism.
Oh wait...
Hey Mitch McConnell, you got the RINO candidate you wanted in Virginia and guess what... “Winners make policy, losers go home.” YOUR guy is going home.
Now we’ll see what happens next month when Roy Moore (the candidate you didn’t want to win the primary) runs against his ‘RAT opponent. “Winners make policy, losers go home.” Our guy, Roy Moore, will not be going home.

“Only in the minds of Democrats is this a repudiation of Trump.”
Honestly. You can really see what drives people towards violence. I hate these preening libtards so much...
Ralph Northam is a sanctuary city guy. I hope Virginians like having their daughters shower with MS-13 at school.
Gillespie actually got a higher percentage of Virginia voters than Trump got...
Trump - 44.4% - 2016
Gillespie - 45.0% - 2017
Bingo
