President Donald Trump said Ed Gillespie did not “embrace” him and what he stood for after the Republican candidate’s loss Tuesday in the race for Virginia governor.

Trump tweeted:

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!

Given Trump's popularity (or lack of popularity) in Virginia, I think Gillespie would have lost even more "bigly" had he embraced Trump:

<snip>

"Trump's approval rating among Virginia voters was just 42% as compared to a disapproval rating of 58%. Even more importantly, of the 50% of Virginians who said that Trump was a major factor in their vote in the 2017, twice as many said they wanted to send a signal of opposition to the President as said they wanted to send a signal of support."

<snip>

Just as Obama couldn't drag along Democrats in down ballot elections, I don't anticipate Trump will be able to either, and his approval ratings in the mid-to-upper 30's seem to bear this out.

...it’s called “self confidence.”

And absolutely NO CLASS whatsoever.

In his own way - he is as much a national embarrassment as Obama was, without the hatred of country.  But like Obama - loves himself more than anything... and it shows.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

@aligncare

You have self- confidence confused with narcissism born of insecurity.

@Restored

Of course he was, no question.  What kind of classless man-child of a president throws a losing gubernatorial candidate under the bus that way?

I can't believe Trump just tweeted that.

Oh, wait.

Maybe I can.

Gillespie never had a chance, especially in Virginia against an incumbent and in a state that went Hillary.

Some of us kidded ourselves into thinking he did, particularly as the race seemed to get closer and as Northam caved to far left interests and allowed the insulting ad to be run.

But this ended up about like expected and Trump should shut up about it.  Actually, Gillespie's lack of total Trump support probably helped him here.
