Rat “winner” Roy Cooper was the most popular rat in the state and ran ahead of the rest of the ticket. GOP Governor McCrory had problems, specifically the “tranny bathroom bill” that pissed off business groups.
Unfortunately, Cooper is polling way ahead of the rest of the rat ticket this year and is headed to victory again.
Its the block voting of Blacks and Hispanics, Hispanics are now up to 10% of N Carolina voters, the white liberal is somewhat of a myth. Blacks are 22% of the state voted 93% against Trump (that is like starting a game to 50 with the other team getting a 20 to 2 lead), Hispanics not as bad at 72% but they may be the key
Just look at the states won by Trump,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.
