He will have the last laugh when he wins the nomination on the 156th ballot.

I wonder what the final act of Jim Gilmore will be.

Maybe Terry McAuliffe can appoint him senator to replace Tim Kaine.

Jim Gilmore has somehow find a way to outdo the failure that was his New Hampshire 13th-place finish behind three candidates who had already dropped out of the race.

Someone give this man a medal.

Live long and prosper, great freedom fighter! Atlas is still behind you even if no one else is.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Dont laugh.

He got 133 votes in New Hampshire.

That's 47 more than Rubio.

[dspNY]

Virginia Republicans were not feeling the gilmentum

[Erc]

He does not join the ranks of other dropouts who are going to the convention as delegates, which currently number Rand Paul and Scott Walker.

[DINGO Joe]

Dont laugh.

He got 133 votes in New Hampshire.

I'd imagine the same people who coronated Ken Cuccinelli.

If Bill Bolling got the GOP nomination for governor in 2013, he'd probably be governor right now as we speak.

That just seems kind of disrespectful. The guy is the only recent Virginia GOP governor who isn't going to prison and didn't throw away his political career with unfiltered racist remarks. At-large delegate slots are basically implicitly meant for current and recent elected officials. If a former governor doesn't get one, who the hell does?

According to the article, they rejected him because he wasn't a Cruz hack.

Even as something of a Cruz supporter, this isn't the way I want the nomination to be won.

Tactics like this are the only chance Cruz has.

Just another reason to like him. Gilmore deserved at least one thousand times as many votes.
