President Trump tweeted his support for Virginia Republican gubernatorial hopeful Ed Gillespie on Monday afternoon, the day before voters head to the polls in the pivotal election.

Gillespie as sought to make the economy an issue in Virginia, arguing lower taxes will bolster the state's economy.
But Democrats have fired back, arguing that with unemployment at 3.7 percent, it's difficult to argue the economy isn't doing well under Democratic control. "Our unemployment rate has come from 5.4 all the way to 3.7, the second lowest of any major state in America," Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said Monday.
Gillespie and Democrat Ralph Northam are locked in a tight contest ahead of Tuesday's election, according to polls.

(19,190 posts)Just like cutting taxes for the wealthy in our country is going to make everyone's income rise. The Paradise Papers have shown us what the wealthy actually do when they get governmental windfalls: they park it offshore where the IRS can't touch it, and the only "boats that rise" are their fucking yachts!
Stuff it up your orange ass, you bulbous bag of bullshit. You don't even know how the damned government works, and you're giving advice to Virginia's voters? I hope Gillespie gets buried by Northam, just to show the rest of the country what people think of your insipid advice.

Gosh, I don't want to get wet. I'd better not take the chance. Northam has a big enough margin that my vote won't be needed.
What's the worst that could happen?
In that case, I'll GOTV if boiling lava is falling from the sky.
Virginia resident here: Do. Not. Take. Anything. For. Granted.
It is THAT important.
