The Democrats had a bigly night in Virginia. Not only did they sweep the big three races, but they picked up over a dozen seats in the House of Delegates. Reliably, President Trump assigned blame on his Twitter account:
...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.
All of this winning. So much winning. At some point I may tire of all the winning.
With this Tweet, Trump is asking his devoted followers one question...Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?
His followers will read about the thrashing the Republican Party took last night in the Commonwealth of Virginia and say, Fake News.
His followers will look at the returns and wonder what might have been if only the voter rolls were purged of illegal immigrants.
His followers will believe that a candidate more enthusiastically committed to the President would have carried the day, Ed Gillespie being far too moderate in his praise of Trump...
But, make no mistake, Donald Trump will keep on winning. One win after another. He will be the irresistible force of winning, the Babe Ruth of winning. He will be to winning what the 1927 Yankees were to the American League, what the Black Death was to 14th century Europe, what Stevie Ray Vaughan was to a Stratocaster...total domination.
