My 20 % figure represents the people that will Vote dt no matter what. Trump could bang Stormy on Main Street and it wouldn't matter.

The base. The rest of the voters are still in play.

Nobody thinks Biden has a personal Gestapo.

Your party's nominee for president is currently on trial for paying hush money to a porn star he b8nged while married. HR, sometimes you are so full of horse sh8t.

I don't see Murphy doing a darn thing about the invasion of illegal aliens into our country. Instead, he votes against our own civil liberties at a time that most Americans, according to the polls, feel that the FBI is "Biden's personal Gestapo". Eastern North Carolina can do A LOT better than Greg Murphy.

So, now we have our far left woke internet troll pulling numbers out of the air to dispute one of America's leading polling firms that had one of the best records for accuracy in the last election.

RINO Murphy's miserable voting record on a lot of things already had me seriously considering voting Libertarian for Congress in November, but if he screws up the second bite at this apple and votes against our Constitutional liberties AGAIN, I am totally done with him. It will be time to actively spread the word to vote Libertatian in this race because Myrphy is a worthless turd. He is not fit to shine Walter Jones shoes.

Murphy wrote the original Medicaid Expansion while in the NC House called Carolina Care which he denied was Medicaid Expansion but of course was. He's also supported Certificate of Need laws which more than any other government interference on the books have closed rural hospitals.

Willie Jones is one of my favorite figures in our history. The concerns of men like Jones and Patrick Henry have proven to be well founded.

The real problem is the "administrative state" and its abuse by this administration. Congress delegates way too much rulemaking authority to bureaucrats, and when big government types like the Biden crowd get in power, they stretch it far beyond what was intended. The executive branch in a Constitutional republic was never intended to make laws, just carry them out, but don't tell that to Biden and the Democrats. A Constitutional republic is not their model of governance. An all powerful centralized state is what they are after.

Once we get Republicans in control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency, a key issue will be cutting the administrative state down to size by putting significant restrictions on rulemaking powers. Economic impact studies should be required for all rulemaking and those studies should have to be approved by the Congressional Budget Office. Actions that have an economic impact over a set level should require Congressional concurrence before it takes effect. There should also be an easy method for Congress to step in and take charge on any rulemaking. For example, statutes could provide that on a petition of one third of the members of the House or Senate, a rule would be paused until voted on and passed by both House and Senate.

The bureaucratic deep state in government needs to be neutered and power returned to our elected legislative branch where it belongs in a Constitutional republic.

Southern voters are NOT, for the most part ok with the cancel culture against our history, and from the polling a lot of people in other parts of the country may not be either. The problem is that attacks on our history are only part of the woke culture and globalist culture being thrust at us, and there are a lot of things like Bidenflation, illegal immigration, and crime that are on the front burner more than cultural matters.

Like I said, until politicians begin losing elections, guns are safe. Kid in school. Not so much.

I'm a cheer leader for the truth. The boarder was a problem long before JB. He will take his lumps but not all the blame.
