The Democrats are NOT the ones insulting the Republican voters in North Carolina–the Washington elite Republicans are!
On Tuesday, The Daily Haymaker reported:
In a memo compiled by the NRSC and obtained by NOTUS, the committee laid out why it believes this seat is firmly in Republican hands. […]
“Democrats will continue to treat it like a battleground, but President Trump’s dominance across three election cycles, voter registration trends, and overwhelming support for conservative priorities all point in one direction: continued GOP dominance in North Carolina’s federal elections and a Senator Michael Whatley,” the memo reads.
The memo points to how Trump won the state three times and how he “improved his vote share in 83 out of 100 counties and made significant gains in rural and working-class communities across the state.”
“Since 2008, the last time Democrats won a Senate seat in North Carolina, their voter registration advantage has collapsed, with a more than 850,000-voter shift toward Republicans,” the memo says. “Nearly 10% of that occurred since President Trump’s re-election in November 2024, narrowing the Democrat advantage to just 18,019 today and positioning Republicans to take the lead for the first time in North Carolina’s history before voting begins next fall.” […]
Michael Whatley has not won the Primary Election yet, and the Plan of Organization of the North Carolina Republican Party bars the party from endorsing candidates in the Primary Election. Admittedly, this is Washington endorsing Whatley, but that makes it worse. Do the voters of North Carolina have a voice?
The article also notes:
DC did this to us at least once before with Elizabeth Dole — who ran in 2002 despite having not resided in North Carolina since the (Lyndon not Andrew) Johnson administration. That political master-stroke earned us the pleasure of six years of Kay Hagan.
There will be a primary for this US Senate seat in 2026 — despite the scam the political establishment and the compliant liars in the drive-by media are trying to perpetrate. At least one Republican not named Whatley – Washington County native, Mecklenburg County attorney and current Union County resident Don Brown — will be on the primary ballot. Check him out.
The political class in DC and Raleigh fear those of us in the unwashed class sending them someone who can’t be bought off and will actually stand for something and DO what he or she promised on the campaign trail. THAT is why they try to pretend there is no primary. THAT is why they want to talk about November instead of the March party primary.
Primaries are one of the few ways we in the unwashed crowd get to make our voices heard. Stomping out the primaries leaves us with the rotten general election choices who have been selected and paid off by the monied special interests. Not a single public servant among them.
This is not acceptable. If Washington pushes Whatley to the point that he wins the primary, I will seriously consider leaving my vote for Senate blank. The Republican elites will use the same argument for Whatley that they used for Thom Tillis–“if you don’t vote for him, the Democrats will win the seat.” We saw how that worked out. If the Republican elites pick our candidate, the Democrats might as well have the seat.
