    Default GOP governors in a panic about damage Trump is doing to their re-election chances

    Panic is spreading among Republican governors in the U.S. after candidate Ed Gillespie lost his race in Virginia to Democrat Ralph Northam and President Donald Trump’s administration flounders, said Axios.com on Friday.

    Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Gillespie was “an exceptionally good candidate” who should have beat Northam handily, but the president’s toxicity and the groundswell of anti-GOP sentiment among voters have the country’s 26 Republican governors sweating their odds of re-election.

    “Nearly 45% of votes cast in the Virginia gubernatorial race were from those who strongly disapprove of Trump and who supported Ralph Northam, according to exit polls,” wrote Axios’ Alexi McCammond.

    He was not a good candidate, the fact that people voted against him due to Trump demonstrates ignorance of how states operate.

    You know nothing about whether or not he was a good candidate, its just a convenient excuse. The Governor of Wisconsin told us he was an excellent candidate.

    LOL, the cum gargler thinks governors are "panicking" because Raw Story said so?

    Let's all recall that she thinks the national anthem is only played in professional sports venues.

    Do you take the Governor of Wisconsin’s word on EVERYTHING? Or is this convenient for you?

    I am sure his knowledge of politics and the Alabama race is far superior to yours or mine. Wouldn't you agree?

    Liberals are constantly under attack in this nation. We're finally hitting back against rightist aggression. No more nice left, we will respond in kind, we have stopped trying to cooperate and be the adult in the room.
