Well, there were 12 Republicans who were braver than Tillis this afternoon. Maybe he was afraid of being #13.

Someone must have offered him an amazing deal, because according to the website for the Democratic Party in North Carolina:
Raleigh ā Thom Tillis, the most vulnerable senator in the country, starts his reelection campaign underwater and unknown by a plurality of North Carolina voters, according to a new poll from High Point University.
Tillis is -10 among voters that know him. Thirty-three percent of voters disapprove of the job Thom Tillis is doing, compared to just 23% who approve.
Nearly half donāt know Tillis. Forty-four percent of voters didnāt know enough about Tillis to respond ā a plurality of respondents.
Worse for Tillis, President Trump is also underwater across the state, with voters disapproving of President Trump by a 9 point margin (50/41%) ā a similar margin to Tillisā, evidence that his reelection chances track closely with Trumpās approval in the state.
Tillis has already linked himself to President Trump, voting with him and the Republican Party 98.2% of the time last Congress and saying at a rally in Charlotte that he will support every policy priority from President Trump.
āNorth Carolinians donāt know Thom Tillis and those who do donāt like him,ā North Carolina Democratic Party spokesman Robert Howard said. āFrom standing by as a disastrous government shutdown delayed hurricane recovery to staying silent as President Trumpās tariffs hammered North Carolina farmers, itās clear Tillis looks out for himself, not North Carolina.ā

Is it nice to bring up someoneās bi-polar medical condition?
More perplexity for me. Like a person who forgot to put pants on in the morning trying to pretend all day that he actually does have pants on. You donāt understand why he keeps on with it.

Thanks for taking the time to call, frustrating though it must have been.
I think it matters that they hear from us especially when they are cravenly voting out of party loyalty rather than principle.
ETA: you too @becauseofjunk. Keep up the good work!

Only if itās the disenfranchised speaking truth to power. Genuflecting at the Altar of Trump is encouraged.

āIāve realized my vote isnāt necessary to block this nonsense so I can safely return to my regularly scheduled pandering to my white Christian nationalist racist baseā

Yup. When I read this quote:
and predicted Trump āis prepared to transfer power backā to Congress ā just not yet.
I was thinking, āItās your fucking power, asshole; itās not Trumpās to ātransferā. Take it back and use it.ā
