Congressman, the issues were all watching besides trump is issue of the confederate statues. 3 of 5 people in virginia including all races and genders were for keeping the statues the way they are, dont want changes, yet that was position of gillespie the republican. Position of the democratic candidate northam was get them all down. Thats how he started anyway. Says to me, voters said thats where i am on this issue, didnt vote on this issue. It was not the issue. But gillespie and trump. Gillespie didnt know who trump was in Northern Virginia but ran a Television Ad campaign that absolutely invoked worst of the trump campaign. Southerner . This time it didnt work. Catholic guy who grew up in new jersey running down there waving the flag of stonewall
a controversial president in byelection. Anybody with any problems with the government party, any problem they lay on you. Right . Absolutely right. You take all the hell with trumps name on it. And historically thats how virginia performs
population made up of those individuals. we want a progressive style of politics that s inclusive and welcoming. what you hear out of washington, d.c., and what you heard from ed gillespie, didn t embrace donald trump but ran on trump playbook, fearmongering, talking about statues et cetera. ran with the trump playbook. is this going to disabuse the republican candidates in 18 they can win as trump? mimicking his issues? it ought to if in purple competitive territory for blue. how could a republican get elected by being associated with trump personally or his issues? if you re from deeply red state in north dakota alabama looks purple right now. you re laughing but even in the polls. pretty extreme. that s why. one thing i want i ll add,
