Trump, by the way, tweeted three times today attacking Northam and promoting Gillespie. But the voters indeed rejected Trump.
Guess what Trump did after Gillespie lost? He blamed it on Gillespie for not embracing Trump.
Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

So if Trump's candidat loses it's not Trump's fault. If Republican candidates win, it's his doing. Literally, Trump said exactly that in the same tweet.
The truth is Republicans win house seats because of Gerrymandering. Trump has nothing to do with it. But a governor's race IS more directly tied to Trump. And the people of Virginia were very clear: They don't want Trump.
As per Trump's claim that Gillespie didn't embrace him, then why did Trump tweet this TODAY?
Ralph Northam will allow crime to be rampant in Virginia. He’s weak on crime, weak on our GREAT VETS, Anti-Second Amendment....

Oh. So Trump promoted a candidate who didn't embrace Trump? I call bullshit on that.
Trump lost. Period. And he will continue to lose because that's what Trump is: a loser.
