Trump was probably the weakest of the Republican candidates in the primary, so for the race to be close in NC is not a good sign for Democrats in this state. I certainly don't see the state ever being "solidly blue", as Kasich or Rubio or Bush would have carried this state handily, but it is what it is.
With that said, the Democrats MAY run the table in NC (this time), with the governor's race and possibly the Senate too.
Republicans will control the state legislature by wide margins regardless of who is governor, so Cooper will probably be a lame duck from day one or he will be forced to compromise a lot with the Republican General Assembly. Republicans also do much better in off year elections, so I would expect Republicans to do very well 2018 which if Republicans maintain their super majority in this state General Assembly the governorship won't matter (just ask Bev Perdue)>

Many are intelligent enough to vote "issues" not party and some have a conscience and can't stomach voting for Hillary no matter what hat she wears.

Considering the attacks on our soil by Muslims: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/a...n-attacks.aspx Whatever it takes to get the job done. Keep in mind that many more Muslims have infiltrated our country costing the taxpayer $65,000 for every possible ISIS member/recruit brought in!
Also, the textile industry in NC was devastated by the "free" trade.

OP seems to be or simply misinformed about the way voting takes place.

Not so much and will they actually be able to vote for Hillary. I saw some that were not supporting Trump but DID NOT say they were going to support or vote for Hillary. A true at-heart Republican will not vote for Hillary.

Here the problem "COULD". Right now, the world "COULD" end. Every Republican COULD vote for Hillary. When the Dems aren't using "could", it is "alleged" which for some reason they believe means there is no shadow of doubt involved. "COULD" is meaningless.

Actually, they'll have a few. We lived there several years back and there was a problem with illegal aliens. I am sure the Democratic campaign is finding a way to register the illegals and using the ID of a dead person, well, nothing seems out of bounds for the Democratic Party these days. It is really a shame.
Republican efforts to suppress the vote are being met with resistance in NC.
A judge just told NC Republicans to put those thousands of names they recently purged off the voting rolls right back on.
Efforts to restrict early voting in precincts with strong Democratic turnout have been turned around.
Then there are the never ending attempts for voter I.D., something that disenfranchises a disproportionate number of low-income and elderly. Courts slapped that one down as well.
The House Republican majority will likely continue due to gerrymandered voting districts. Remains to be seen whether this will continue past 2020 redistricting, but will likely remain in place this time around.
In addition to turning back efforts at voter suppression, and disgust at what the Republican bathroom bill is costing the state (people are flat serious about their sports tournaments around here), there is Rev. Barber and the Moral Monday movement that has a strong GOTV effort going.
