This election is important in that it will show whether the trend for the Dems started in 2018 will continue and may indicate which way NC will go in 2020. Of course, the Repugs will cheat again if they get the chance.

[Fill in the blank Democrat] wants Open Borders, Sanctuary Cities, and Socialism. He likes the “Squad” more than [fill in the state].

Why are they even holding an election? The Republican cheated. Give it to the Democrat.

That election should have been a forfeit by the republican. I wonder if they’ll get another swing at it if the R loses this time around, too.
@dave_mb I didn’t see your post, must have been typing when yours posted.

I wonder if Joe Biden will campaign for Bishop, too? Biden loved North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms (R-Segregationist).

Is Bishop one of Biden’s “awful lot of really good Republicans out there?

And we know that Biden doesn’t mind campaigning for Republicans.

The headline is a little too biblical,for me: “Trump descends on NC.”
I think one that substituted the phrase “Trump invades NC” would be more accurate…

Good. The Democrats need all the help they can get.

They are now plotting and scheming for a way to put the thumb on the scale again
“This time we promise we will be extra sneaky and won’t get caught”

“His opponent wants Open Borders, Sanctuary Cities, and Socialism.”

And where would the soybean farmers of America be without your socialism, lard-ass?

“… the general election will be on Sept. 10, a date that coincides with Charlotte’s municipal primaries”

Oh, good. A speech. That should be incoherent.
Actual question: what does this say about the polls if they’ve decided that he needs to do this? Is it more for the race or for the President’s ego? At this point, I can’t imagine anyone who had a choice saying “that should help the undecideds.”

Perhaps YOU should. Or is there a GREEN (Getting Republicans Elected Every November) Party candidate you’re supporting?

will the abomination be personally collecting absentee ballots to turn in to election officials?

Unfortunately, Trump’s approval numbers are 48/49 approve/disapprove in North Carolina, so he has much higher approval numbers there than he does nationally.

On the brighter side “Since Trump took office, his net approval in North Carolina has decreased by 19 percentage points.”

And I presume the Republicans will cheat again, just to ensure that, even if they lose, they’ll get a do-over.
