    Now Endus you can't go and speak truth. The MAGA folks will say you're just jealous because you didn't earn billions from apartheid emerald mines and failing upwards!

    Well, I don't think I'll get a better lead up to posting this:

    The Republican candidate for the governor of North Carolina could be a cardboard cutout for all the difference it makes. The white morons who make up the majority of the state’s voters will still vote for it because it’s in the Republican column and because Trump is at the top of it.

    Not that simple. He is going to get blown the fuck out, and Trump can still win NC. Surely you don't think every Trump vote is also voting for him looking at polls? He doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning, yet Trump can still win NC easily.

    Charlie Kirk will make a great contender for the GoP nomination in 2028, if Trump loses this election. Though, I am honestly not sure who will win at this point. I fear the conspiracies involving Hurricane Helene will hurt Harris' campaign as well as FEMA giving money to immigration. Sad!

    Yes, did you forget the 2020 NC numbers compared to the polling? He won it easily even though the polling showed it close. Unless you think 100,000 votes is a close win.

    Then again there are some people that think texas is "close" to going blue when we're talking half a million votes minimum difference so I shouldn't be surprised if people think voting numbers that large are close because its single digit "points".

    I think it’s much more likely that anyone voting for Trump votes straight down the R column than it is that they skip the Governor box out of some sort of latent principle.

    The hurricane..s have changed things.
    Voters in North Carolina and Georgia have bigger problems than politics. Helene changed everything
    And then we have Johnson being...a johnson, waiting until after the election to get the House back in session, to vote on disaster relief. Not calling this yet, but having a Ted Cruz moment wasn't a good idea.

    You're assuming that polling differences will be the same this year. And the Mark Robinson woes will have an effect, as well, even if it's not huge.

    Trump might still have an edge, but thinking it's "easy" is ridiculous.

    So you're saying you think Robinson has a chance to win? Cause Trump has a chance to win NC, and Robinson has effectively no chance. So that would be false.

    I didn't say it would be an easy win. I said it could be. These are very different things. Harris could also get an easy win in NC, both things are within the margin of error of current polling and how reliable they have been recently.

    Yes, I am saying it doesn’t matter who the candidate for the governor is when Trump is on the ballot. I could be persuaded otherwise if you can name a Republican gubernatorial candidate who lost a state that Trump won during the same election.

    Uh...North Carolina. Trump won in 2020. The GOP candidate for governor Forest lost.

    Charlie Kirk would lose more states than Trump ever would.

    So your statement was pointless. Got it.
