Clay, listen to the NPR podcast EMBEDDED…they are dissecting the Rump and his past business dealings. Also an interesting take on Bannon.Good toon, kiddo.
Gillespie is a lobbyist. Northam is a pediatrician. Which one would you guess is more likely to support policies that benefit the average person?
In 2000, Gillespie founded the lobbying firm Quinn Gillespie & Associates with Jack Quinn and within a year had an income of $8.5 million and was eleventh on Fortune’s list of the most powerful lobbying firms in the US.10 One of the firm’s clients was Enron, which paid it $1,225,000, including $700,000 to lobby the Department of Energy and the Executive Office of the President to resist efforts to re-regulate the western electricity market during the California Electricity Crisis.111012 Gillespie has said that he was unaware of Enron’s deceptive accounting practices.13 By the end of 2002, Quinn Gillespie & Associates had received $27.4 million in lobbying fees.14
In 2007, Quinn Gillespie & Associates represented more than 100 clients.13 The firm lobbied on behalf of AT&T, Bank of America and Microsoft in the years 2001-2007, earning more than more than $3.2 million.13 In 2016, the firm reported $17.2 million in revenue from federal lobbying.13 The firm pitched to potential clients that Gillespie, due to his involvement with the White House and association with individuals in power, could leverage those relationships to benefit clients.13
In 2016, Gillespie lobbied on behalf of the health insurance company Anthem, as the nation’s second largest insurance firm tried to merge with third largest insurance firm Cigna.13 A federal judge blocked the mergers, citing insurance regulators who said the merger would raise costs and reduce competition in the health insurance market.13
During the 20 years we lived in Virginia, they had bumper stickers with that slogan on them, only the V was an outline of a heart, because gawww cute. Throughout that time, I resisted the urge to write S or N in the blank space they were offering to me.
The Trumpian candidate Gillespi is bringing no love and getting no love in the race. He opposes every reasonable gun-safety measure imaginable. He was Counselor to the President in the George W. Bush administration.
The Trump-Bannon candidates want to Make America Hate Again.

We need to investigate Mercer, the money guy behind Trump, Bannon and Breitbart.
