Fine, then PRIMARY him in next election if pressure put on him while he serves should fail.

The worst RINO is STILL better than any Liberal.

In VA, the governor is term limited to one 4 year term.

Ed Gillespie is a nice Catholic guy. I don’t for one second believe he is a liar. Sorry.

I didn’t know that, thank you.

It’s a great idea (term limits)

True - but when it comes to politics the lesser of two evils can still be a lot better than the greater evil. If we insist on never going with the lesser (in politics anyway) the greater wins every time and we have 60 years or so of experience to help understand what that means for our Freedoms.

Like the Germans in the 20s-30s? Yeah, that's a great strategy.

Nope, not gonna take it any more...we've tried it your way for 30 years.

Here's a better idea: throw out the first few RINOs to let the idiots know that "We the People" won't take it any more. That tightens the sphincters of the remaining RINOs. They learn that they can't throw sh!t sandwiches down our throats anymore.

It hurts for a couple of election cycles, but they get the message.

Or, you can keep voting for the "lesser of two evils" and continue accepting their sh!t sandwiches.

Here's an interesting photo from today, from the soon-to-be renamed JEB Stuart High School (to be renamed "Justice High School"). FYI - heavily Democratic Northern Virginia:

And what could they have done that would have made it better? Don't forget there was also a lot of international intervention going on. I fail to see how that is a relevant argument to our own current situation. When the dictator-backing left will do anything to gain even the merest part of an inch, we are compliant if we will not do the same to keep them from it or to try to gain a bit for our side.

Well, be sure to put lots of mayo on that sh!t sandwich today the GOPe has handed you today.

Oh wait! I just checked your profile - you're not even a Virginia resident!

Dammit! Go away! Stop preaching to us Virginians!

Spoken like one who thinks his internal fantasies are reality - seem to have bitten into your own sandwich.

Talked with other Virginians who agree with me - with folks like you on our side Hillary would be President now and you’d be justifying it.

LOL! A Senator from any State affects all the others - you propose ditching Gillespie for the Democrap - and you think we're punking you - dream on sunshine....
