He's a sore loser. When he lost to Bev in 2008 he spent 4 years going on the Sunday morning public service show on WCNC, slamming every single thing that she did, good or bad.
That sounds about right. The more I read about all the BS that's happened/happening, the better I feel knowing that I voted against him in 2008 when I still lived just outside of Goldsboro.

I had just moved into the state in 2008. I voted for Dalton in 2012. Dalton was a moderate Democrat who had represented Cleveland & Rutherford counties in the state senate. People here liked him. I figured that he could inherit Bev's veto stamp & he'd use it.
Tim Moore had filed paperwork for the Cherokee to upgrade their casino & Bev signed it, avoiding years of bs in the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
I was told by the wife of our then mayor, before the last mayoral election, that she was mad as a hornet that McCrory had come out here & promised the moon to get votes, when Bev had done well for the area & Dalton was well liked. When Tim Moore then helped with the Catawba application for a casino & related complex, that would have brought 4000 jobs, to start, to this area, McCrory refused to sign it. That's been up in the air for years. McCrory has been horrible for jobs, here, on top of it.

Good? She did good things? Oh come on now.....there is a reason she did not run for re-election.

She was responsible for a lot more jobs coming into my area than McCrory. But then you wouldn't know that since you're in Florida. She didn't screw things up nearly as much as McCrory.

False. Bev Perdue was the worst governor in decades and the reason the first Republican governor since 1989 was elected

She was elected just as the recession started, and then in 2010 a veto proof majority was elected in the GA. They were determined to make her fail.
In 2010 NC was ranked #3 on your precious list of Forbes best states for business list, up from 5 the year before. If McCrory is so great at #2, Bev can't be far behind.

Reading skills are important. I said that she was good for jobs & McCrory has been horrible for jobs where I live. There were some who just couldn't let go of a tire plant that she blew shortly after taking office. Where's the anger about McCrory failing to set the GA in motion to get the Volvo deal? McCrory failed to sign a paper that would have brought 4000 jobs to my area with a cost of zero to the state. Right there is thousands of jobs that are on McCrory that doesn't count job losses that are directly connected to HB2.
McCrory is a failure & is once again proving that he's a poor loser.

Under McCrory, employment in North Carolina has risen to its highest level in 8 years

If there had been no governor, employment would be at its highest level in 8 years. There was this little thing called the great recession, remember? Is there a state in this country that can't say the same thing? That is such a bogus statistic.
I'm not the one arguing that McCrory lost jobs. If he did any damage, the overall numbers would show it. Almost every single metric shows great improvements over his term
If your assertion is that governors have no bearing on the state economy, then you shouldn't care either way
