Donald Trump and everything he stands for as election results across the country began
rolling in, showing the Democrats made virtually a clean sweep in elections from Maine to California.
One of the most closely watched elections that took place on Tuesday was the race for
Virginia Governor between Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican Ed Gillespie.
Gillespie had been personally endorsed by Donald Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., Steve
Bannon, all three of those guys have been tweeting virtually nonstop over the last few
weeks, singing the praises of Gillespie.
Gillespie decided to run an incredibly racist campaign, vilifying everyone that wasn't white,
embracing Donald Trump's racism, and he was soundly rejected by voters in Virginia, quite
similar to how Luther Strange, who was in a runoff against Roy Moore in Alabama a month
or so ago, endorsed by Donald Trump, rejected by voters in that state.
It kind of seems like at this point voters are not only rejecting certain candidates,
but rejecting Donald Trump himself.
Not all of the elections on Tuesday were rebukes to Donald Trump, but there were some very
impressive Democratic victories that took place.
For example, a politician who had ridiculed the Women's March in Washington, D.C. that
took place earlier this year, was defeated by a woman who ran because she was pissed
off about him ridiculing the Women's March.
The author of the transgender bathroom bill, saying you have to go to whatever bathroom
corresponds to your genitalia, was defeated by a trans woman.
A lot of really great victories, turning state houses across the country into a more representative
sample of what the United States actually is, but let's not lose sight of the bigger
picture here.
Yes, Tuesday's elections were a rebuke to Donald Trump and everything that the Republican
Party stands for.
Right now, Donald Trump's endorsement, if you're running for office, is more like a
kiss of death, because most of the people that he embraces, most of the people that
he supports, end up getting rejected by the American voters.
The only question is, can this momentum, can this anger towards the President, continue
until the 2018 midterms?
Signs right now are clearly pointing to yes.
The Democrats are energized and, while they may not be 100 percent united, they're still
far more united in their mission than Republicans are, which is going to give them an edge over
the next 12 months as we approach the midterms.
Again, and this is something Donald Trump doesn't understand because he's not a career
politician and he's also not an intelligent human being, when you are wildly unpopular,
as Donald Trump is, least popular President at this point in his presidency in history,
you don't go campaign for people.
You are seen as toxic.
You are a cancer on the party.
When you endorse someone, you're putting your stink, your disease, onto them as well.
Did you ever wonder we didn't see too much of George W. Bush in the 2008 election, why
he wasn't showing up at all these rallies and outwardly endorsing John McCain?
It was because he knew he was unpopular.
McCain's campaign said, thanks but no thanks, they don't want the stink of eight years of
Bush rubbing off on McCain.
Trump doesn't get that.
He doesn't understand it because he hasn't been paying attention to politics long enough.
As long as he continues to go out there and basically rub elbows with these wannabe Republican
politicians, they will continue to keep losing.
By all means, Donald and Donald, Jr., go ahead and start tweeting out your support for Republicans
for the 2018 midterms, because I'm sure everybody's just dying to get your
seal of approval.
