About the picture...it is from 2012. Was he going to appear on stage with Obama instead during that general election campaign? That picture isn't a negative for him given the context.
Other than that...he could not win as an incumbent during a GOP wave election year (2014) in a right of center state. He would not be the best choice as a Senate candidate for an open seat.
That photo should be in the dictionary next to “Establishment GOP”.
Fair enough, but...I don’t hate him, I just see him for what he is...a RINO. I believe his stance on the bathroom bill was for political survival with his base, not because of core values. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Yes, I’m not his fan either but I’d consider him maybe slightly better than the typical RINO. I supported his stance on the bathroom bill, but then he would wipe out that positive by throwing his support behind something like Common Core.
For a state with traditionally conservative leanings, I sure wish we could get someone based in the executive position from our side. Cooper has been a nightmare.
Amen!
