You say that because you do not live in NC. McCrory has been harassed by the NAACP for the last four years. They went so far as to put toilets in front of the Governor's Mansion and to hold weekly "Moral Monday" sit-ins in the Capitol Building. The so-called "bathroom bill" was a set-up by the Human Right's Campaign and the lesbian mayor of Charlotte. (BTW, McCrory is the former mayor of Charlotte.) They knew that the legislature would respond because a City Council cannot make laws that affect the entire state. The legislature went too far in some of what they included in the bill, but McCrory signed it anyway.
Roy Cooper, who now has a slim lead of less than 5000 votes, has been running for governor instead of doing his job for the past 13 years. The attorney general is supposed to represent the duly enacted laws of the state whether they personally agree with them or not and HB2 is only one of several laws he refused to defend in court. In NC, the attorney general's position has traditionally been used by the Democrats as a stepping-stone to the office of Governor and Roy Cooper is tired of waiting for "his turn".
A strong supporter of Donald Trump, McCrory did not even campaign for the last three weeks of October because he was dealing with the real problem of the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. He was criticized by the NAACP and Cooper for using surplus tax revenue to replenish the "rainy day fund" that the Democrats were always dipping into when they were in power. Had he not done so, the state would not have had the funds to cope with the massive flooding caused by Matthew. He and the Republican-led legislature enacted other fiscal policies that has given NC one of the healthiest economies in the Southeast. If ever a governor deserved re-election based on his performance, McCrory does and the fact that the Dems planned to "steal" the election from him is disgusting to me and I hope it backfires on them!
^Well said.
I wore the letters off the "Mute" button of the TV remote silencing Ross and Cooper ads. Just ridiculous.
Thank you! Very well said! McCrory had to come in and drain the swamp in Raleigh and is still in progress of doing that.
He needs our prayers and our monetary support to fight for justice in this election theft attempt by the Dems in Durham.
The Left in NC has its nastiness, but McCrory caved to the Corporatists refusing to support religious freedom legislation like that proposed and shot down in other states in 2015, then when the legislature sent him the ‘conscience bill’ for public officials, McCrory vetoed it.
The Left hated plenty of RINO’s in my lifetime from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush. That does make those people conservative just because the NAACP, the media, whoever attacks them.
