Ironically, I think Pat McCrory is clearly doing more damage to the GOP in NC than Trump is, but I'm sure the usual suspects will be quick to deny.
I won't deny that - there's a lot of military people in North Carolina that might like Trump's whole tough talk and expansion of the military while sort of liking gay and trans people and a government that works (Trump's pragmatism on infrastructure and women's health, for example), which McCrory and the legislature has been opposed to from the start.
Anyways here's to hoping that Cooper does well enough to carry Ross with him.
Considering where McCrory was in 2008 and even to some extent, in 2012, that is the ultimate of ironies.
But the statement is undeniable, while Trump has problems the NC GOP has undoubtedly been crippled.
