The defeat of Ed Gillespie has Democrats and the liberal media exulting over a supposed rebuke to President Trump. Crowed the New York Times:
FAIRFAX, Va. — Voters delivered their first forceful rebuke of President Trump and his party on Tuesday night, with Democrats exploiting Mr. Trump’s deep unpopularity to capture the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey and make significant inroads into suburban communities that once favored the Republican Party.”
Um…. no.
Four years ago Virginia elected Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe as their Democratic governor. In 2016, without carrying Virginia, Donald Trump was elected president. In 2009, Republican Bob McDonnell was elected as the Republican governor. Three years later Mitt Romney lost both Virginia and the election to Barack Obama. In 2005, Democrat Tim Kaine was elected the Democratic governor, and three years later John McCain lost Virginia and the election to Barack Obama.
