Trump loses both ways

“Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for.”

So tweeted President Trump on election night when Gillespie, the Republican nominee for Virginia Governor, lost to his Democrat opponent. And yet, several months ago when Luther Strange embraced Trump and what he stood for, Strange lost the senatorial race in Alabama.

To paraphrase an old adage, “Can’t win with Trump’s support, Can’t win without it.”

Hopefully, this is a harbinger of elections to come.”
