In reply to the discussion: Ed Gillespie Lost an Election. Then He Was Pulverized by Trump and His Allies [View all]underpants
(182,772 posts)35. Gillespie went way negative way early AND ran a ghost campaign

Trump will run out of "friends" very quickly. A bad election cycle is more dangerous than Mueller.
