Congrats Josiah Tillet.
Good race Nicole Tardif, Christian Heiens, Dustin Curtis & other liberty candidates!
I’ve been door to door campaigning for team Gillespie in Shenandoah County, which should be great territory for Corey Stewart. He’s got little to no support here. Snd uf he can’t win here, can Stewart win any where?
Ed Gillespie gets 80+%. Corey Stewart gets 9%. Wagner 6%.
Reeves seems to be moving up however
The YRs weren’t feeling the love for Corey.
Can you blame them?
There was also some write-in votes for Denver Riggleman!
Riggleman was and remains a fascinating guy. He could have given Team Gillespie a real challenge had he remained in the race.
The race for the nomination is not over by a long shot. But if Corey Stewart does not explain why he should be Governor soon, it will soon be over.
Hurling dufus like slurs does not make one qualified to be Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
True and true, though I didn’t read too much into the cuckservative “slur”. I don’t use the term but some just mean it to say someone isn’t a strident conservative, it doesn’t have to be an alt-right phrase.
I’d agree. However having the Stewart campaign’s communication director saying cuck repeatedly on Friday didn’t make the team look smart.
The whole thing should have been a two to three day affair. However it’s become the defining moment of the Stewart campaign.
