I'm still waiting for Trump to show up in one of the smaller, red North Carolina cities along with Franklin Graham-Cracker wailing "Jesus,Jesus ...Trump,Trump!" to his low-information minions. North Carolina still remains one of the solid "toss-up" states. It's going to be a nail-biter in this state for Election Day and perhaps a few days later.

I'm not too sure how far out from the cities he'd have to go to get enough of his people to be worth the effort.

I do know that the first presidential yard sign that I saw in Kings Mountain was Trump Pence, but right now Biden Harris outnumbers Trump Pence significantly. Most houses with signs are for much farther down on the ballot.

You may want to reconsider that statement given now that Harrison has just raised $57 million in the third quarter of this year, setting a new record in a U.S. Senate race. Meanwhile, Graham is struggling to keep up in advertising purchases. As this article from Politico notes, "Between now and Election Day, Harrison has more than $16 million reserved, while Graham has $4.8 million."

Also from the same article: "Public and private polling has shown the race to be extremely competitive. A poll from Quinnipiac University late last month showed the race tied at 48 percent. An internal poll from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, conducted around the same time, showed Harrison narrowly ahead, 48 percent to 47 percent."

I predict that Graham will lose, just because we've heard his two cents worth for so long, including when he bends his beliefs to endorse the president.

I wonder if he has a boyfriend in D.C. because he must be in my tribe, LGBT.

His challenger is breaking records in fundraising, and if you're a Black American this is definitely your time.

Exactly! What did poor Greenville do to deserve a visit from Typhoid Trumpie?

If every politician who has had an affair had to leave office, we'd have very few politicians left in office. Affairs are non-issues for most voters these days.

I completely concur, but what does that say about us as a population?

I dunno, maybe: We are all human and capable of making a stupid mistake ?

He'd still get my vote if I was a NC voter.

Perhaps it says some of us are able to recognize that a making mistake in one's personal life doesn't necessarily mean one isn't capable of being a successful elected official.
