Trump may have just won NC for good

Also, as callous as it sounds to say this, I think events like this happening have become fairly baked in to people's views post-2014. Ferguson was a major, major event, an inflection point.

lol

No, the only people who are going to actively blame the Democrats for this are already voting for Trump, and would never have voted for Clinton to begin with.

Swing voters may have a say. They're still around. How do you think a middle class family in Durham, N.C. feels tonight?

Utterly fine, because they're in Durham, not downtown Charlotte

Pat Buchanan actually predicted that Ferguson would cause a devastating loss for the Dems in midterms.

Not necessarily, the question is if the NR-types and Charlie Sykes of the world hate BLM and SJWs more than they hate Trump. After the California protests back in June, many of them were actually subtly praising Trump in that context.

I agree with Buchanan that Ferguson had an effect on those midterms. I think that's largely been widely accepted as the point when the national picture really turned ugly for Dems (that and Ebola)

Good riddance, Hillary doesn't need that horrid state to win anyway

Back off buddy, this state can still be redeemed.

And it isn't a horrid state. The Governor might have views that you don't like, but that doesn't make a state bad. North Carolina is a great place to live. I would never want to live anywhere else. The people are great, the weather is great. You have the mountains, the big cities and the beaches all in one state. You can't beat it.

Incidentally, I'm very jealous of my folks doing the Outer Banks next spring for their wedding anniversary. It's on my list and I'm a tad peeved they thought of it first.
