NC seems off, but I do think Trump is going to win there, because of the violence in Charlotte. A possible exception is if McCrory/Burr/Tillis say something very racist to the media, but I would have Trump favored there as of tonight, sadly.
Why is it when there's ever a shooting or a bombing, people say Trump will win.
1) People want stability, and Trump looks like the 'law and order' candidate.
2) White Americans are getting really tired of being blamed or having their entire country being indicted every time some young criminal idiot puts himself in a situation where violent escalation with the police is inevitable. 'Wait, you're telling me a guy who resisted arrest and repeatedly punched a cop in the face while reaching for his gun got shot?!'
Surprising. I know.
Among young black youths, the 'thug life' is glorified and hatred against the police is encouraged (listen to the music). Unsurprisingly, such an outview on life leads to a much higher rate of criminality (to put it mildly).
Michael Brown didn't rob a store and attack a police officer because he was 'oppressed'. He did it because, you know, that's the kind of things aspiring thugs do. (You want your street cred right?).
But we're supposed to pretend like it's whiteys fault. And as I said, people are growing tired of it.
They're also growing tired of stores being burned and looted.
