NC victory ‘pivotal’ for Donald Trump’s campaign, senator says

North Carolina’s delegates heard from two members of Congress Monday morning who urged them to unify behind presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Both Perdue and U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa of California are surrogates for the campaign who spoke during a breakfast meeting at the delegation’s hotel in a Cleveland suburb.

I feel it. Also been to several voter engagement planning sessions already and received a call from the Dem coordinated campaign organizer for phone banking. The psych here is high!

In NC I have seen more Bernie and Trump supporters than Hillary supporters.

A couple of my family is going green as well. I hope that's not the majorities prerogative.

at least the ones who actually vote. Charlotte is not a hotbed of Trump supporters, so don't have much interaction with any here.

That will likely be voting Hillary.

Trump would put an absolute stop to everything we are working for.
