If Cooper is moderate and Forrest is extremely far right, I guess that explains why Cooper is in a 10 point lead. I assume he is probably the favorite, but I would really like to see Forrest prevail.
What about Cunningham and Tillis? Don't know as much about them either, but from what I am reading, I would expect Cunningham while not extreme is quite further left than Cooper. His lead over Tillis definitely seems inflated especially since Tillis is the incumbent. That really makes me wonder? What are people annoyed at with Tillis?
if you don't live here - and thus not under the influence of only statewide politics, and you don't seem to know much about either Cooper or Forest .... then why would you want one to prevail?

I'm not the poster you're speaking of (as said earlier I don't support Forest at all), but to respond to your question, that poster did mention they are in Virginia, a neighboring state, so what happens in NC could affect Virginia. I would agree more if they were in Wyoming.
For instance, if during the current pandemic, South Carolina's governor were to say (just a hypothetical, I'm not saying he said this) "no one should ever have to wear a mask, ever, anytime, anywhere, even if you leave South Carolina", that wouldn't help NC if South Carolina's citizens who bought into that are coming to Charlotte.
Or if state environmental laws were lax in an adjoining state for an issue not regulated federally, but the adjoining state had stricter rules, those stricter rules become less effective.
If one state has good transportation planning but an adjoining state doesn't, it can impact congestion in the state with better planning (i.e. the Charlotte region would be a good example of this with many SC residents working in Charlotte). The same goes with people going across the state line for certain fireworks, shopping across state lines when a neighboring state has a tax free holiday but we don't, etc.
What happens in one state can have at least some impact on what happens in a neighboring state.

No offense, but I don't really buy into your argument very much; however, in this case the OP professes to not know much about either candidate, so I can't see how his preference could be based on how they would affect a neighboring state.
While he might be able to fool his wife, anyone with a brain can see from the texts that this was more than just some "suggestive" texts.
This is not just a personal matter when he is wanting our votes. And if he wants to take complete responsibility for his actions, like he claims he is doing, he needs to be honest to the public and tell it like it is.
Such a shame that we have two horrible choices on the ballot! Ughh!!!
