Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
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!

Gillespie's attack ads were ridiculous and unbelievable. I didn't even know the guy and disliked him after I saw his first ad. I couldn't help but notice the stark difference in campaign ads, those who did nothing but attack and lie, and those who listed accomplishments and goals. Since the republicans have no accomplishments...well you know who had what.

What have you been smoking? Up until '08 Virginia was a solidly red state and as redneck as they come outside of NoVa. It's bullshit statements like this that make you such a joke Mike.

Indeed. Before Gov. McAullife, 3 out of 5 of the past governors have been GOP and the House of Delegates has had an overwhelming GOP majority for the past 17 years.

If I were a Repuke, I'd want to forget Bob McDonnell, too.

Republican governors fear a 2018 midterm wipeout after Virginia loss

"What is driving the turnout? Is it a specific issue? Is it a specific region? Is it a specific type of voter? What impact of Washington?" Walker said, without offering an answer.

Pretty simple, Scott. Assholes like you, Roy Moore, and the Asshole In Chief. You all need to just go away. Thinking people are sick and tired of your greed and divisiveness.

Very well said, direct and to the point. These people are a national embarrassment and perhaps even the wingnuts are tired of them and their policies of division.

Head in the sandman. Stay asleep to fact that most people hate having Donald as prez. Sad to see someone lose objectivity and a grasp of the facts. He never should have been elected for his past history and for all the people who knew and accepted it you should be ashamed.
