PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ed Gillespie ? Some say  his  attempt at fusionism failed  and that you canât be half a populist and expect voters to buy it. Others say  he  didnât have the benefit of running against Clinton  a candidate who managed to lose nationwide despite having so many resources supporting her. Others say itâs just Gillespie himself â a seasoned swamp lobbyist and establishment figure running for office at a time when voters have had enough of that sort. But  Gillespie  performed quite well with downstate  traditional conservative Republican voters  failing to resonate in  his  own homeland of Northern Virginia.  He  only did a tiny bit better than Trump in the heart of the swamp â Fairfax County. Thatâs Gillespieâs home county!

Neutral
