"Yet you ignore that the state also voted for a Democrat governor." Really?

Maybe you should stay better informed BEFORE making ignorant statements that can be debunked and make you look foolish!

Dear I live in NC. Do you?

McCrory has lost. We all know about the futile recount. Furthermore, the fact that he did lose the popular vote while Trump won it by 4% easily proves that NC does not vote straight tickets.


Oh BTW, CBS said NC will go to Hillary. You might want to check yourself with those fake news sites.

A Trump presidency will eventually have major impacts on the courts....the courts that struck down NC Voter ID law and the NC General Assembly lines are liberals.

While everyone is so focused on the Supreme Court, people lose sight how important other courts are, such as the appeals courts and other judges, eventual appointments that will start upholding conservative laws.

NC also had to redraw its Congressional districts, and guess what? Republicans kept their same majorities in NC.

I fully expect the legislature to have lines redrawn but with similar outcomes such as the Republicans maintaining their super majorities in the N.C.G.A.

While Roy Cooper will likely be the governor (Louisiana also has a Democrat governor) he will be completely powerless and will just sit there, and a rather ineffective person as the G.A. has Republican super majorities and can pass laws as they please.

Both sides have done it and are guilty, however the current gerrymander in the state is more extreme than the previous ones.

One of the ones that struck down the laws was a Bush apointee.

It's clear that Trump will picking the next member of the Supreme Court. And this party has the potential to inhabit that seat for decades.

Based on your posts, "dear" is NOT something I will call you and YES, I live in NC.

You can claim anything you want but, until the re-count is FINISHED we will NOT know who won.

You can claim whatever you want about the source of the article, which I doubt you even read.

Really? Wrong again.

McCrory has conceded the election.

Told you so.

"McCrory has conceded the election. "

I just saw it on the news.

Congratulations to him.

I did not vote for him but, wish him well in governing and hope he tries to do well for ALL residents of NC.

I will NOT cry, whine, look for a safe space, ask for crayons or even say I will commit suicide.

I'll leaver all these things to to leftie liberals.

How am I wrong?

All I said was it had NOT been decided and when I said it it had NOT been.

I made NO predictions.

I sincerely doubt you would be gracious IF he had lost.

In fact I think you would acted just as those I described above.
