Cory Gardner and Thom Tillis won by running to the center; will they stay there?

Tillis ran as a moderate?

Tillis put the gay marriage ban on the ballot, he passed legislation that further restricted abortion (remember the McCrory flip flop on the issue, how do you think that got to his desk?), he expanded expanded gun rights, passed E-verify like AL and GA (though he did scale it back to please the business community) and opposes the Senate immigration bill. He did this along with spending less on eduction, rejected the medicaid expansion (which I supported), refused to raise the minimum wage (which I also supported), allowed the State Senate to gerrymander the state (much to my disgust) and restricted unemployment benefits, becoming the first state to stop the expanded recession era benefits.

I expect him to vote and act like Rick Perry.

Dropping the Koch brothers would kill GOP support for comprehensive Immigration reform/amnesty but bring the minimum wage on the table for most of the newer less then solid conservative members, particularly in the midwest and Northeast. You want that trade?

Tillis ran to the center the very last week (blatantly changing position on Medicaid expansion, for example) but his fearmongering on ISIS was the bigger reason why he won.

What, where?

It is what I expected to happen after Tillis won the primary and the administrative problems in DHHS provide a good cover for the flip flop.
