Republican Dr. Greg Murphy has won the special election in North Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, where he will succeed the late Rep. Walter Jones (R), who passed away in February.

The Associated Press called the race with 44 percent of precincts reporting. Murphy had 59 percent of the vote while his opponent, Democrat Allen Thomas had 44 percent of the vote.

Murphy was expected to win the district, which leans heavily Republican. Jones had served 13 terms in the district and President Donald Trump won the district by 23 points in 2016.

Oh, I’ve long since realized that he isn’t up at 3 AM, updating his page. It just makes me wonder how much day-to-day oversight he really gives it, aside from the revenue and business side of it. I have no idea who his operational web minions are nowadays, and what sort of guidance he provides insofar as content. One thing is for sure, he has drifted leftward and seems to dip his toes into clickbait journalism. It’s a shame - he used to be a reliable bulwark against all the Tokyo Rose propaganda the alphabet networks and dead tree newspapers used to spew out 24/7.

Wow! “...The GOP won it by 24 points tonight....”

I wonder how the pollsters and the MSM are going to say how this happened, when the originally thought it was a toss up and a forerunner for a 2020 “Blue wave” Democratic take over?

The first day dawning in the “Hereafter”. The impossible. How appropriate it should be the evening of Patriot’s Day remembrance. Giving Faith and reassurance to those fearful and apprehensive yet sure to cause enemies to quake in fear as they realize what will become of them.

But but the polls!!!!. Even in California this SE was in the news more than a few times.

“The Polls are TIGHT, no Dem. has been elected to this seat in over 50 years!!! It’s a bell weather for 2020”

Suck on it Rats / Media.

I had the misfortune to walk by a monitor with CNN playing this morning and saw the headline “Republican Narrowly Wins in NC” If a 24 point margin in a Republican victory is narrow in CNN’s alternative reality then I guess half a point in a Democrat win would be a landslide.

RE Flag Hug:

The thing about that picture is... he really means it.

And it’s really great to have an American back in the White House - someone who loves, respects, and wants to protect the Country and our people.

I think it shows the power, still of Trump. I personally think, Trump’s stop the night before assured a great turnout.

The man is tireless. We have these lazy republicans like Paul Ryan, who basically did nothing to keep the house.

We’re seeing it again with all these GOP congressmen retiring.

Amazing how much this man gets done in spite of the daily onslaught from all sides.

Yes. And have we ever heard or seen a President or Minister of any Nation hug his country’s flag?

The magic moments our POTUS has given in Patriotism, honor, honesty, and warm-hearted communion — and commitment — to We the People is something we shall talk about the rest of our lives.

59+44=103

Who's cheating?
