Yes. See John Bel Edwards, currently Democrat governor of Louisiana. He ran largely based on his military background and from a middle-to-right position. He is governing as a typical leftist Democrat. It didn't hurt that his last name is "Edwards" (though no relation to the ex-con former Louisiana governor).
He’s stealing a page from Hillary’s play book.
They’ve got another ex marine running in a special election in PA.
When I moved to Alabama it took me six months to finally understand “the language”.
I regularly watch a youtube channel of a Virginia young man who shares my metal detector hobby. He talks about coins a lot, but he pronounces it “coings” .
I’m not form Virginia originally, but I’ve heard Charlottesville is sometimes referred to as “Carpetbag-ville.”
This guy fits
I’m from the East Tennessee mountains...I get a hundred miles away from there and because of my mountain accent people say, “You ain’t from around here, are you?”
I grew up in Maryland. If I got north of Pennsylvania, folks thought I was a Johnny Reb. South of Virginia and Damn Yankee. You just couldn’t win.
He has hundred of cousins in his home state of NC
He could well there
Of course, his cuzzes r publicans
Guy is a dreamer
“Ah’ve beeeen to the moouuntaaaiin…!”
carpetbagger - fake truck, fake farm, fake hometown. Pathetic.
North Carolinians are carpet baggers when in Virginia? Last map I checked that’s further south.
Well shoot... you grew up in MD... whaddya epect!? ;-)
I met a guy who rode his HORSE to school in Southern MD in the 80s! Near Zekia swamp. He even called hisself a SMIB :-)
If anyone doesn’t think that is a plan, they’re dreaming. The same way the Dem’s want all those Dreamer’s, DACA scum and refugees. Now, they’ll have an easier time in Florida thanks to all the PRs that are settling there. They’re strategically placing people around the country to continue their takeover.
But, of course, this guy doesn’t go to Richmond or Newport News, he finds the: WHITEST, MOST LIBERAL part of the state that one can live in. More so than Northern Va, I’d think.
Anybody from the South can spot a fraud. Even people in the individual states have slightly different variations of the Southern accent. To me, TN and Texas sound a lot a like. Alabama and Georgia have their own accent.
This is what candidates do. They decide what phony appearance they want to show the public, and then hire agencies to make them appear that way. bammy wanted to appear to be a moderate, America-loving, caring, Christian. (He is a radical, America-hating, angry atheist). hill wanted to appear to be a warm, loving, grandmother with the sharpest intellect. (She is a cold, cruel, b!tch who lives only to grab power and turn this country into East Germany.)
It’s all fake. They will do anything to gain power.
Every southern state has a little different accent imo. People from NC don’t sound like those from SC or Alabama ect . There is a group of people in eastern NC who actually sound a lot like New England. They ve always been in NC.
The Gop pushes a lot of those who ve been in the military too. Many of them are rinos.
A lot of southern accent is of course English. Like much of Virginia speaks.
I lay a Florence King commination service on them!
