It sounds to me like you just don't like him personally because he's a Democrat, I couldn't find any evidence to support your claim that he was horrible and crooked.
I live in Virginia and have for over 23 years... and I didn't know ANYONE here that liked him... so its not just me.
He did the very same thing the democrats literally persecuted McDonnell and his wife for doing. Which surprisingly...wasn't against Virginia Law. Yet somehow that never stopped the persecution.
And the Current Gov. Terry McAuliffe is there only by illegal donations and other crooked tricks ( well known here in Virginia) which the Democrat party has proven time and time again...their motto is "By hook or by crook".
And that one rises to prominence in a particular party by less than savory means...and Why the RNC isn't fully behind Trump because HE hasn't "Paid his dues".....
Wikileaks has relased emails proving the DNC sabotaged Sanders bid for office just recently...showing proof the crookedness in politics.
One does not get into long term (in many cases life long) Elected offices for reasons of altruism. They do it from greed for what THEY can get for themselves...
The person who wants to get in, make a difference than get out...are the only ones who merit any trust...the ones who have done little or nothing else...are the ones to be most wary of...irregardless of party affiliation.
