Personally, I'm more enthusiastic about voting for him than Trump in 2016. Probably not the case with others!

” Gillespie learned of an internship opportunity that led to a job on Capitol Hill, and he has not stopped working in politics and public affairs since. “
Wherein lies Gillespie and the Republicans’ problem.
Like Paul Ryan, and most of the people in the Swamp, they have never had real jobs working with real people. They have been in politics - only politics - since they left high school.

Gillespie is a Cheap Labor Express Bush Republican, nothing like a Reagan Republican.

I would imagine that people in Northern Virginia will again make the final decision for governor.

I will reluctantly hold my nose and vote for the cheap labor importing, amnesty loving, anti-rule of law SOB, but I won’t be enthusiastic about it.

>>former lobbyist and senior aide to President George W. Bush, Hmm. Anybody seen which way the Shrubbery cart headed?
Doesn't look like it'll be coming back anytime soon.
Maybe Ed would be better off calling Uber... or something.
MORE MAGA! TRUMP2020.

Yet in 1980, the Media Party thought Reagan was a yahoo movie star who had no business being President. Really makes the Media Party’s remarks today about Reagan look very disingenuous, doesn’t it?

Lol. The only president to pass amnesty in 60 years. Were you being sarcastic. Reagan was excellent. On immigration he was awful.

He’s NOT a Reagan Conservative. He’s a Bush New World Order minion.

Gillespie, communications ace, former lobbyist and senior aide to President George W. Bush, will find out Tuesday if Virginia voters will send a Reagan conservative to the Virginia governors mansion in the era of Donald Trump. How does someone who worked for that @sshole George W. Bush qualify as a "Reagan conservative?" LOL.
I would vote for Gillespie in a heartbeat tomorrow if I lived in Virginia, but he'd never be my first choice in a GOP primary for any office above the county level.

Virginia voters......all!!! Turnout, massively, Tomorrow, Election Day, Tuesday, November 7, 2017, and cast your vote for Republican Ed Gillespie to become the next Governor of the great Commonwealth and State of Virginia,
Here is three solid, good reasons to do so. First Ed Gillespie becomes your Governor, tomorrow evening, Second, Corey Stewart is aligned to become the next Virginia, U.S. Senator next year as he totally wipes out, useless, Clintonite, Democrat, Tim Kaine in the Mid-term election of 2018, and, finally, third, the victory by Gillespie, delivers an almost fatal political blow to the entire “National” Democrat Party!!! D0 it!!!
TURNOUT, TURNOUT, TURNOUT!!! MAGA......Elect, Ed Gillespie, Governor of Virginia. Go, Gillespie, go POTUS, Donald J. Trump.
