Jake Tapper is right; that statement about whether or not he’s running for president in 2020 by Terry McAuliffe was about as non-Shermanesque as you can get. Translation: McAuliffe will begin his run for president shortly after his term as governor of Virginia runs out in early January 2018. Oh, and if McAuliffe has any hope of getting the support of environmentalists like myself, he’d better spend his last few months as governor telling Dominion Energy where to shove its fracked gas pipelines, and using the full power granted to Virginia under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act to stop these monstrosities.
