Silly and says you are losing the debate not me. NC is deliberately suppressing the minority vote and all the little cartoons you send won't change that fact.

What's next a white sheet and cross burnings?

Nope.

You haven't provided one shred of evidence.

NC did after all vote for Obama and has elected a Democrat for Governor. This speaks for itself.

In spite of voter suppression laws being put in place and the margins as you know were razor thin. It is clear what the repubs are doing and why they are doing it. Just own it and move on.

McCrory was just bad.
He was the victim of the false tax decrease pushed through by the State legislature and the Art Pope wing of the GOP.
He looked like a lobbyist for Duke Energy with the actions he forced the NCDER to take about water quality around their coal power plants.

His stance on Tolls on I-77.

The support of HB2 which hurt the state largely in economic terms.

He was on the wrong side of a lot of issues.

He conceded the election. Urged state to support Cooper.

Hillary Clinton should take lesson. She is still seeking to overturn election.

Clinton is not seeking to overturn anything. She conceded, remember? Gracefully, too, with all the proper congratulations that deserved to be given. She has not sought to overturn the election at all. In fact, she has said nothing about it ever since the election.

You confuse her with Jill Stein. Stein did not concede, and requested a recount. Recounts have settled more than one close election in the past, and will settle more in the future. They are a vital part of our process and will always be. They should be supported by all candidates, for when the time comes that recounts are not allowed, a dictator will be the one who denies them.

The lesson should be yours. The right for a recount is always going to make someone happy and someone else unhappy every time, but that's the way we run things here.

Supporting a sore loser who should have conceded 2 weeks ago does no one any good. Don't let your political proclivities run away with your common sense. McCrory knew the recount failed 2 weeks ago; he was just being a dog in the manger about it.

If McCrory was a better Governor, he would have been re-elected. He's the first sitting incumbent to ever lose re-election in N. Carolina, so the citizens must have thought he was pretty poor at the job they gave him.

Yes she is.

She's still participating in Jill Stein's Wisconsin recount. This after she promised to accept the results of the election on election night.

She should take lesson from Pat McCrory.

You of course give McCrony a pass on the time he spent seeking to overturn the election though, right?

How can you overturn an election what had not yet been decided?

i.e. Your post fails.
