Tillis won because he was down ballot from Trump. Trump won NC. Tillis is despised by conservatives in NC.
But, yet he gets re-elected.
People have to stop being afraid of their state GOP machine and, finally, be willing to give someone else a chance.
IMHO, the biggest reason there aren’t more challengers to guys like Tillis is that a legitimate candidate sees it as a futile endeavor. Why do all the things to try and run, when most of the voters will vote on name recognition, the devil they know, and because the RNC/GOP is pushing the incumbent over the challenger.
Like Graham, Tim Scott, Tillis, and so many more. When the polling starts, let the folks know that they want someone new. These folks don’t hold up to their campaign promises or fight like they said they would, they don’t deserve nor should they be given another chance to lie and do nothing.
Knowing that the incumbent isn’t so safe, could have the effect of more honest folks putting their hat in the ring. Better than what we have now.
