And there you have it.
Face it, Gillespie was a dud.
Like I’m totally surprised by this, not
Did anyone think that the taxpayer-funded leeches employed in D.C. and living in VA were going to miss this opportunity to kick President Trump in the teeth? They were voting for their cushy jobs.
Democrats won where democrats win, the upset would have been if the republican won. Trump lost Virginia also so I see no change other than some republicans lost on the lower level elections.

I’m so glad we have become energized and bold and are standing strong, and fighting, against the America haters. We’ve been passive doormats for decades and we’ve had enough.
Corey Stewart had a better chance the Ed the RINO.
His embarrassing loss was the voters saying, “Get with Trump or get gone!”
Someething tells me that Gillespie would be saying this win or lose. Very Rovian.
Well, yes. If the northern Virginia suburbs repudiated Trump in November 2016 so that they wouldn't lose their gov't jobs, they certainly weren't going to vote Republican now that they could actually lose their jobs.
That Gillespie ran away from Trump probably hurt him in the western part of the state. Just being a Republican hurt him in the northeastern part. It was a difficult needle to thread. (Probably an impossible one, unless his opponent was arrested.)
I would doubt any conservatives lost last night; the swamp spoke. The swamp wants their goodies at our expense. Rinos lose; anywhere a conservative runs on the anti-swamp agenda, they win. NJ and VA is swampy...walled castles in VA, all paid for at our expense.
Gillespie...Political equivalent of a Manchurian Candidate?
