Conservative GOP Vs. ‘Liberal’ GOP Incumbents Battle in N.C. Primary (Ellmers defeated!!)
breitbart.com ^ | 6/6/16 | Neil McCabe

GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers and Rep. George Holding are facing a winner-take-all June 7 primary for the GOP nomination in North Carolina’s 2nd congressional District — and conservatives are rallying to defeat Ellmers.

“In a [primary] race like this, I get to run on my record and she gets to run on her record,” Holding told Breitbart said. “I have a conservative voting record and she has a liberal voting record—and this is a conservative district.”

Carter Wrenn, Holding’s campaign’s spokesman, said North Carolina conservatives once had high hopes for Ellmers.

“She jumped on the Tea Party bandwagon in 2009,” he said. “But, as soon as she got the Washington, we learned that she was just an opportunist.”

Wrenn said the congresswoman’s support for President Barack Obama’s executive actions, such as his amnesty for illegal aliens, and her votes for the Export-Import Bank and the 2014 ‘Cromnibus’ bill have shown her willingness to represent the establishment instead of the people back home.

Can someone give a breakdown on the other district where there’s 10 Republicans running and no runoff?

Paleocon Walter Jones (Trumpkin, Buchanan type) beat Kristol buttboy Taylor Griffin.

Trump needs to be careful who he endorses. He needs a mix of advisors,and not just listen to the one who speaks the loudest.
