      1. Last night was a watershed. Imagine if Gillespie had won. Trumpization of GOP would have accelerated rapidly.

      2. Gillespie was a test case: could a mainstream Republican run as a Trumpist & win. The answer, thankfully, is no.

      3. The big question about Trump was always; is he a harbinger of the future or a sui generis novelty act?

      4. Trump might not be Elvis or the Beatles, a transformative figure who remakes the landscape. He might be the "Monster Mash" - a one shot hit.

      5. Gillespie's Trumpism Without Trump failed. That's a hopeful sign for future politics! My thoughts here:https://newrepublic.com/article/145726/trumpism-without-trump-doesnt-work …

          What if instead of a former lobbyist, "Trumpism without Trump" comes from a decorated military officer?

          Replying to @nbeaudrot @HeerJeet

          Nick has a point. Even Trump voters know when someone's pandering(Gillespie) or genuine(Moore). Also VA is not a microcosm for the entire US

          @HeerJeet that's a decently good take, but AL-SEN next month will prove it out, he's been Trumpist before Trump was Trump

          Sen Cotton isn’t a wannabe like Gillespie.

          Jeet, overwhelming numbers of white men voted for Gillespie. 51%white women voted for Trumpism. Let's not overreact.

          It failed because of Dem turnout. Seems like his Trumpism w/o Trump did bring in the votes in great numbers.

          The real question might be if Trumpism as sustained by Pence would work.

          But the GOP takeaway seems to be: Trumpism w/o Trump didn't work because there wasn't *enough* Trump. Their solution is More Trump.
