Team Trump rejects blame for Virginia, New Jersey GOP losses
by Sarah Westwood and Gabby Morrongiello | Nov 8, 2017, 1:56 PM

A person familiar with President Trump's political operation said Wednesday that Republican losses in a pair of governor's races this week are the products of "local dynamics" and "history," and not a rebuke of the administration's agenda.

"These are blue states that the president did not win last year," the source said of New Jersey and Virginia, where both GOP gubernatorial candidates lost by definitive margins in their off-year contests on Tuesday. "This is not about the president."

Ed Gillespie, the Republican candidate for governor in Virginia, and Kim Guadagno, the Republican candidate for governor in New Jersey, both suffered heavy defeats.

Interesting to note that Gillespie's vote total here was a point higher than Trump's.

A point higher? The spread for Hitlary v Donny was 5%. Gillespie lost by a massive 9%. Hell, Cuccinelli only lost by 3%.

For Gods sake Ed lost to Warner in a year the GOP did great. He is and will always be a loser. That is why his race made no news until the last minute when the polls tightened (wrongly again) for no reason. He is a waste of space Bush hack.

Fat farting Christie, Trump is supposed to be to blame that NJ of all states elected a democrat after that huge disaster?

Poor chair.

Chair? I'm standing at my local bar waiting for a table or bar stool to open up. It's damn crowded except where I am standing.

LOL  Well that's one way to clear some space.  You could have just passed gas, but far be it from me to tell you how to get a job done.
