Were it not for hate and fear there would be no GOP .

.

Even though all the Democrats walked out in protest!

The vermin in Raleigh are as evil as it gets in this country.

Are you in Asheville, G?

yes, in Asheville, waiting for Moral Mondays to start up again also..

; )

I'll come knocking on your door soon….don't shoot me.

drop me a note sometime!

I'll also go to Dem HQ as soon as possible to start connecting to people there.

after all these years!

heheh

but heading in that direction.

@PatMcCroryNC @NBA Don't these people ever learn. Exhibit A: #MikePence #Indiana Just write off the city you once governed. Kiss re-election goodbye, because it was Mecklenburg County that was the difference in your win.

And that is what makes this especially frustrating for us. The gerrymandering locked these thugs into place. Dems have to turn out almost 2 votes for every one of theirs just to draw even in the NCGA.

Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, and Asheville are Blue, the rest of the state isn't.

Orange County was one of the few counties that went for Bernie in our primary earlier this month.

I didn't want to lump Chapel Hill which is liberal with Raleigh, who I'm not quite sure what to make of. I have personal experience about the cities I named, having only been to Chapel Hill once in the 20+ years I've lived in this state.

By the same token, one would think Greenville would be liberal due to ECU, and to a lesser extent, Boone with ASU and Cullowhee with WCU. Where I went to school is a University town but not particularly liberal, even though it had it's spots (Behind the Glass came to mind).

Nor will it ever be.

Our state is bluer every year.

The Kochs own NC and are busy jerking it backward. It's certainly as bad as Georgia now. If this continues, it could rival Alabama.

I think it's even possible that NC will go for tRump. I'd like to think NC will dump McCrony. That might help turn things around, but much damage has been done.

NC Republicans may well go for Trump, but I expect Hillary will beat him soundly.

Do you live here?

tRump has excellent chances in NC.

Here's some polling data--looks like it's too close to call right now. Need a 5 point difference to be beyond the margin of error.

Also my left toe tells me this after dipping it in the water....

I'd bet on that.

but nothing else. There's big Donald Luv in NC. And plenty of Hillary hate.

NC is a toss-up.

And I have a biased seat living in Charlotte. For that to change, the Hickory, Morganton, Burlington, Rockingham of the state has to change, and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The true test in a county such as Gaston, with a sizable A-A population in Gastonia and Rs in the balance of the county. The other suburban counties are pretty much R; Union (outside of Monroe), Cabarrus, Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan, Stanly, and Cleveland. Across the line, York County SC is R outside of Rock Hill proper. So is the Indian Land part of Lancaster Co that is suburban.

Where would that state be without those big out-of-state corporations? I mean, wasn't all of RTP built around IBM back in the '70s?

Sadly so....

NC goes backward--not good for tourism or business. Certainly not good for the state's image.

(That in addition to all the reasons why it's wrong to begin with).

Just part of the Koch hijacking.

I didn't realize that.

So incredibly stupid.

Thx for posting--I'm gonna spread this around.
