NCSEN: Let's play The Blame Game. The pizza man, the baby doc, or the web site? | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: Brant Clifton keeps the spotlight on North Carolina's U.S. Senate race in his "bare knuckles" Conservative online publication known as The Daily Haymaker.

    During the recently completed primary, we were told that Thom Tillis is on cruise-control to Capitol Hill. Kay Hagan needs to start packing. Miss Susan can start measuring for drapes.

    It's funny how things change. There is a major hard-sell coming from Raleigh. The point? Unity. Unity. Unity. Get on the Thom bandwagon OR ELSE.

    Running for office is like selling any good or service in a private business. Can I be blamed if the salesman fails to convince me to buy that new 2015 SUV? Is it MY FAULT that the realtor could not convince me to buy that house? It's up to the salesperson (candidate) to close the sale. The salesperson (candidate) needs to connect with the prospect emotionally and convince them that the product (candidate) is exactly what they need.

    Instead of re-working their sales pitch to nail down the 56 percent of GOP voters who DID NOT choose Thom on May 6, Theam Thom is pointing fingers at people they see as threatening Thom's coronation in DC. These people just will not throw out their silly ideology and jump on the bandwagon. Let's review some of these scapegoats:

    Libertarian nominee Sean Haugh. Last week, we got a hysterical headline about how "this pizza deliverer" could cost the Republicans the Senate. The most recent PPP poll has Tillis at 38 percent, Hagan at 36 percent, and Haugh at 11 percent. (HOW DARE this Libertarian partake of his constitutional right to run for office! ) Haugh has demonstrated that he has a pretty good sense of humor. Check out this blurb from his campaign's Facebook page:

    Oh yeah, almost forgot, under new Common Core rules I'm supposed to tell you Tillis owned slaves and equals 37.

    The Libertarian Party has a habit of attracting some, um, different people. But, for the most part, their platform preaches the concept of limited government — something that has been going over quite well with the American people since 2009. With the GOP going soft on repealing ObamaCare, amnesty for illegal aliens, taxes, and regulation, among others, the Libertarian Party is an understandable alternative for people who appreciate a serious commitment to limited government. If Haugh takes votes from Thom Tillis — it is the GOP nominee's fault. He and his team did not adequately convince the electorate that he will fight for conservative principles.
