In the Republican primaries there might be a MAGA candidate rather than a RINO. So at least there would be a candidate who actually means what he/she says and who will actually try to implement it once in office.

Republicans do not have legacy media outlets like WRAL running interference for them.

Don't forget the N&O, they may be gasping but are still the main source for most TV & radio stations in central NC.

“Don’t forget the N&O”

The N&O is pathetic. Especially since the latest changes they made. I was a sub for about 20 years and finally quit. After a while they called me with a $1 a week deal, so I started up again. It was a sad joke. I saved the 4/10/22 paper just in case they ever call me again. Front page, great big picture of Coach K. Page 2, some pix about sports and entertainment. Page 3, all ads. Pages 4-8, more Coach K and ads. Page 9, finally some news (nothing that I didn’t already know) and of course 1/2 page of ads. The list price is $4. This is not a serious newspaper. It is not even a good tabloid. It is a formerly respectable institution in it’s death thros. Sad.
