JS- I sure hope your right. Junior is probably the dumbest and least likable of all the chumps. That kid is a total dope.

I do not believe candidates are sending out the stuff I saw online with their name on it that I know of. People HAVE come to me with stories of nasty things said about conservative candidates and conservative office holders for some time now. These hostile stories were from people that said they heard it from local officers of the Republican Party, and they said it in public places. My sources gave me the names of the particular officers.

I have lately been directed to online stuff that was over the top offensive and personal with strong racial connotations. A couple of people called me last night and asked me if it was from a candidate with roots in the county Repub. officer cadre, because they thought it was. I can't say for sure in instances like that. People don't put their names on stuff like that. It was vulgar, personal and I do strongly suspect the source, because it matches previous behavior that did come from the local Repub. Party. It is the same M.O. Certain things match.

If it is not from the local party now would be the time to disavow. My friends that know all the parties involved tell me they have no doubt. Exact words: "Duh, who else do you think it could be?" I tend to trust their judgement.

Locally, think about the Reg. of Deeds race and the Commissioner race. They will not be anyone endorsed on this sites' palm card. They will be candidates that serve on the BC Repub. Executive Committee.

Also, ask a committee member how they stand on wooing Democrats into a Republican Primary so as to defeat conservatives.

I think she will hang around to see if trump gets convicted. In Nov. chump will lose either way. However if he is convicted...he's done.

After Tuesday, it will be quite over for Mrs. Nikki.

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.

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.
