Republican Dan Bishop Wins Race in North Carolina’s Ninth District
Breitbart ^ | 10 Sep 20191,037

Posted on 09/10/2019 7:55:54 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Republican Dan Bishop defeated Democrat Dan McCready in a close special election in North Carolina’s ninth congressional district Tuesday night.

Bishop, a conservative Republican currently serving in the North Carolina State Senate, based his campaign on strong support for the Trump agenda. The president, for his part, strongly supported Bishop. On Monday, the night before the election, Trump appeared with Bishop at a boisterous rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina in the conservative eastern part of the district.

At the rally, Trump heavily criticized McCready for supporting the socialist agenda of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Squad.

Those numbers are the kind that steals any joy (at least for me) at victory. It’s great we won but look at the numbers...92K voted for depravity, destruction, and essentially the overthrow of America. WTF?? And I don’t buy the ‘ignorance’ factor. Will have to research the demographics in that district later.

From what I can see, a good piece of news from this election is that hardly any nitwits out there were casting useless votes for third-party candidates.

You may want to go back and do some research on this race. The Democrat was a military guy with an Ivy League background, and he ran a campaign where he never even mentioned his party affiliation at all.

As noted by a prior poster, the borders of the district were redrawn to make it more Dem-friendly. So this is actually a huge, huge victory.

Interesting. I’ll do that. I do know that’s how they fool the fools. By falsely representing themselves as someone that they are not.

“POOR” people “can’t afford to vote for special elections” ? Why...do they have to PAY to be allowed to vote now, in N.C.? LOL

This is America. Bet you dollars to donuts they all have large flat screen TVs.

I suspect that it wasn’t really close. They probably cheated all they could and still came out behind. If it’s really close, they win. If it is a wipeout, it looks close.

Try living here in California.

It is very strange how many people have been brainwashed and bullied into voting for Democrats no matter what they say or do.

And then once 9n a great while you see a Schwartzennegar type event, and even though Arnold did lots of damage to the GOP brand, and the Dems gave him the Trump treatment from day one, there is still that ability for the people to make big changes when they set their minds to do so.

We have to tear the Dems apart over and over again, until we’ve got enough votes to fix our corrupt and broken institutions.

This is a generations long struggle for the soul of our country.

We keep allowing a million more Dem voters to come to US each year...we gotta stop that, or we’re finished.

So the Rats outspent Bishop 10-1 and he still won. Not surprising though...ILLary outspent DJT by at least 2-1 and only got 220 EVs.
