For people that have so much, who treat those with so little, I hope you get what you give.

Destin Hall is an establishment Republican who would be Tim Moore 2.0 or actually Thom TIllis 3.0 as House speaker. This is an insider deal of the establishment cronies who work for the special interests instead of for Republican voters. It would be another top-down legislative dictatorship. Kidwell is the only game is town as far as listening to the grassroots and pushing conservative principles.

Hall, Saine, and Bell were on the take, big time, from casino interests last session, for example, and also from marijuana interests. They were all in on selling out on the Obamacare Medicaid expansion and on kicking our electric customers in the gut with the NC Green New Deal. Most of that lot were also in a few years ago on repealing our bathroom privacy law so that biological males could go into womens restrooms. All of them might as well be Democrats.

If you know of local candidates doing that, Van Zant, please share. Voters who are actual bona fide Republicans need to know who is doing that besides that useless Nikki Haley.

Now, that is some refreshingly good news; however, it would be better news if the Minority Leader expressed a willingness to step down like yesterday, maybe today at the latest.

Yes. Nikki Haley is the great example at the national level of a Republican candidate relying on Democrat support in the Republican Primary season. Truth is there are several county level 'Republican' candidates doing the same thing. It is also a fact that those are the very candidates with ties to or support from the local party organization. Rather than guidance from the Republican Party, in Beaufort County the party seems to be the biggest offender. This party is only capable of producing chaos and meanness. Expect no productive leadership from that crowd.

Who said anything about dating....
I am sure there are millions who would not date Trump. He's fat!

Any "Republican" candidate that does what you are saying, jeff, should be outted and then shunned by all true Republican voters. Nikki Haley is a case in point, who has been helped in multiple states by that tactic.

This issue of having less money where needed is exactly like the Biden Border Invasion, and how to fix the self-inflicted problem: Just STOP doing the stupid stuff that got yourself into this precarious position brought on by complete ignorance, and ignorance only.

Voters have to be careful in Republican primaries because every candidate tells you they are "conservative" even those with very liberal records like Bill Graham in the governor's race or Jon Hardister in the Commissioner of Labor race. Even ones like Brad Briner running for State Treasurer who voted in the Democrat primaries as late as 2020 and works for the financial network of major gun control promoter Michael Bloomberg.

Then there are the poseurs like Bob Brinson who spout what the polls say voters want to hear, even when it contradicts his own record in public office and the positions of his main campaign backers. We need to look at records instead of rhetoric. Mark Robinson is another good example, a guy who gives a great speech but is never there to help on major issues. He is all talk and no "do". Dale Folwell is the conservative who has a record of actually getting things done for the conservative side in Raleigh.

Is this "Body-shaming?"

Probably, and that might be part of the reason this is funny.
