He is from a conservative area. He is only going
off the reservation to keep his street cred. If the
people in NC don’t boot his ass in two years, then
they deserve what they get.
Being from NC I can tell you he is not in the more conservative part of the state. Plus, he’s a dimocrat...which still means something different to a lot of old time voters in this state. They are WRONG, of course, but they really can’t see the light.
