NC-9 Special Election Discussion
Bishop (R) vs McCready (D)
I’ll just say: I hope you’re wrong... but I fear you may be right.
There was a lot of drama going on that night. Remember when Hillary refused to do a concession speech? She sent John Podesta to the stage to "shoo" everybody home for the night. "We'll have something to say tomorrow" he said.
I believe that might have been a gambit to prevent Trump from giving a victory speech. But soon as Trump announced he was speaking anyways, that's when Hillary finally threw in the towel and conceded to Trump in a phone call.
But I'm thinking if Trump didn't give a victory speech that night and "claimed the throne" so to speak, there would have been some Al Gore level shenanigans in place by sunrise to steal the election.
Definitely!
“Dan Bishop was down 17 points 3 weeks ago. He then asked me for help, we changed his strategy together, and he ran a great race. Big Rally last night. Now it looks like he is going to win.”
I listened to Bishop at the Trump rally Monday evening, and basically listened to him unabashedly position himself as a Trump mini-me by convincingly parrot every major Trump position ...
I’m assuming bishop was NOT doing that when he was down 17 points, but instead was running some kind namby-pampy, watered-down, GOPe/RINO, consultant-driven, conventional pablum and drivel campaign that is typical of the losing kind of GOP campaign, but then he took Trump’s advice and switched to a hell-fire and brimstone, full-bore, damn-the-torpedoes, pro-everything-Trump type campaing and consequently came back from that deficit and won with a bigger margin than the GOP did in 2018 in that district.
If my assumptions are correct, then bishop did what I’ve been advocating that ALL GOP House members do in 2020: run a campaign based solely on national, pro-Trump, anti-socialist-nutjob-insanity issues and force their Dem opponents to either deny or defend the insanity being advocated by the Dem presidential candidates ...
If the above is what actually happened in bishop’s case, then all other GOP House candidates should realize that the above is a template for a winning campaign and successful election, and they ALL should do their damndist to replicate it!
Best line
Rats were playing checkers
GOP playing chess.
We got our BISHOP!
LOL, good one! :-D
Stolen from Diamond and Silk
No boxes of ballots found in the truck of a car this time.
LOL, doesn't that just figure!
I was disappointed that President Trump didn't bring Diamond and Silk on stage during the NC rally last night. Perhaps they spoke at the podium before Trump got there. If so, I missed them.
Democrats : “We was too late!”
“If Trump would win this district by just 3 points, he would lose the state by about 5.
There is work to be done.”

OK, let me set everyone straight here.
I live in Charlotte, in this district.
Mark Harris is a decent, well-meaning man. But he was a terrible candidate. I’ve met him and watched him speak.
Very polarizing. Smuggish ex-pastor of a large Baptist church. Non-evangelical Republicans hated him. Similar situation to Judge Roy Moore in Alabama.
Republicans in this district are a little demotivated because of the Harris fiasco. Bishop ran a very negative, albeit effective campaign to win. I couldn’t tell you what Bishop is FOR, but he painted a great NEGATIVE picture of his opponent.
So for Bishop to have won at all is a blessing.
He will win rather handily in 2020.
You’re welcome.

They did. Their part is on YouTube. Just watched it.

If you watch on RSBN
They cover the entire thing from ,pledge till end.
Midterm and special election DJT margins will not compare with Pres’ elections. Work to do, forever, but I love the smell of this one.
Especially when the DEMOCRATS are 100% in favor of PARTICAL BIRTH ABORTION, (which isn’t being mentioned in the primary debates).
- -
The truly woke ones, like Gov. Northam, have moved on to full infanticide, killing the ones that make it thru a botched partial birth abortion.
Good to know...thanks!
I am a person of hope and seeing two NC House Districts go red is very good.
Blue CT is now in revolt over TOLLS!
Thank you for the thread and all the contributions...nice news to wake up to.
Amen spot on
Sick of GOP snowflakes afraid to do just what you say.
