Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is under fire from conservative activists for supporting a Democratic effort to block President Trump’s emergency declaration to fund his border wall.
The activists have also raised Tillis’s legislation to shield special counsel Robert Mueller from any interference by Trump.
Some county GOP party leaders are openly calling for Tillis to face a primary challenge.
And while House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a Trump loyalist, told The Hill he has no plans to run for the Senate, another conservative Trump ally, Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), may heed the call.
When "you have a Republican president, you expect your Republican senators to follow suit,” said Diane Parnell, the chairwoman of the Rockingham County Republican Party. “The state of North Carolina elected him to go to Washington, D.C., and support our conservative values. We want this immigration problem fixed. We want him to support our president. And we want America to remain a great country.

Tillis had a chance to cash his OBL checks.
Run, Mark, run!
His challenger needs to be someone who will put the ideas of freedom ahead of political expediency, using that stance to explain and educate millennials about those ideas versus to the ideas of tyranny (Progressive totalitarian ideology).
Good!
The GOP is spineless when a Democrat is President, even more so when a Republican is President.
I have voted for Tillis every time he has run for the Senate. I will not vote for him again. He is a major disappointment.
Good! He’s an quisling scumbag.
“When “you have a Republican president, you expect your Republican senators to follow suit,””
Not quite, for example, if a Republican president pushes Amnesty, as W did, we expect elected Republicans to instead listen to the base.
Obviously on the wall and protecting Muller, Tillis does need to face a conservative. In fact, he might even consider listening to his base with someone sniffing behind it.
I’d like to see either of the Marks, Walker or Meadows, run against Tillis!
Remember Jumpin Jim Jeffords folks.
I will vote for anybody BUT Tillis,even a democrat if it comes to it.Hope Tillis gets primaried out!
