I guess you’re mad at Trump for tweeting in support of Gillespie too?

Let's see:

I'm critical of unbridled Gillespie cheerleaders; therefore I'm mad at Trump.

Boy, if that's not a logical fallacy, I don't know what is!

That’s why I have no emotional investment in the Gillespie race.

Guess I'm lucky I don't vote in VA. I guess the sad thing is that these days, politics doesn't attract many moral/ethical patriots but draws street scammers/grifters instead - Trump is one of the anomalies - as was Reagan. There might be a handful of actual patriot conservatives in the Congress but they are outnumbered.

Pretty sad we need to slowly replace rotten parts with slightly less rotten parts and it will take a long dedicated effort to get to the point where there is more healthy tissue than gangrene...

Ralph Northam is a mushmouth socialist pretending to be a RINO to keep Virginia blue (and not backing the blue).

I did not vote for ED in the primary but I will be voting for him today. He is the more conservative choice.

I voted for Donald Trump in the general though he was not my first choice in the primary. My support for him has grown.

"You reminded me that I have to not vote today."

You forget, there are other candidates running today! "The only thing necessary for evil to succeed..."

That is true! He'll betray you and stab you in the back more slowly. Works for me!

People always forget that the "lesser of two evils" is still evil.
