I said I agree with the bigger point Rush was making, but this is my territory, I know the players, and the following are facts:
There was no big GOP e push to get Jones out. There was some, but not big. Don’t believe Jone’s ad material.
Jones is the most liberal Republican from the south, period. The TP and Palin opposed him. That’s why he only won 51%. He lost every county but his hometown county.
Tillis was pushed to the right by Brannon, and frankly, Tillis is not as bad as some of the folks who supported him, like Rove. The NC House under his speakership has been good, not great, but good. They have pushed Gov MCCrory to the right.
Just some thoughts here.
NC is my territory also.
