Ive lived in the district for a few years now and today was the first time I felt certain N.C. is going Biden, and we have a great chance of winning Meadows seat,
In my Harris Teeter parking lot Im seeing far fewer signs of Trump support. Today I saw a prominent local Republicans car with 3 new bumper stickers, all in a simple row.
Veterans Against Trump. Republicans Against Trump. Christians Against Trump.
On the way out I saw another car with the same 3 bumper stickers.
These stickers looked newly placed, so somethings going on. My guess is the Russian bounties story broke the back of more than a few camels.
BTW, the congressional candidate here is retired military and a proud progressive, Moe Davis.

(5,158 posts)to turn blue, but isn't the reality that was most likely to happen due to districting changes the reason Meadows went to the West Wing in the first place?

(68,125 posts)To leave a house seat with leadership credentials for chief of staff in a WH in disarray in an administration with historically low approval? That's a stupid career move, unless he thought his gig was in jeopardy anyway.

(68,125 posts)Probably for much longer.
He had to think the gravy train was coming to it's end.
Now, he's got WH CoS on his resume for the private sector.
He must have figured he needed some stars on that resume. And that he would need it soon.

(1,935 posts)And am hopeful that Moe Davis can win the seat. As ex military he will appealing to many of the local yokal repugs.
I remember Heath schuler was our Dem congressman, before he retired just as we got gerrymandered. He was a football star, another thing the yokals respect. NC does have a history of switching voting preferences from one or 2 elections to the next, Dem to repug back to Dem.
Counting the days until early voting!

(9,490 posts)That is great to hear. I stay out of public because I get way to angry at Trump/Meadows supporters. So, I have not seen those positive signs. Why Meadows is relative at all here after silently cosppnsering bill to close Asheville VA. is shocking. He tried to deny it when confronted by a retired Military officer at a town hall in Franklin. Watching him kissing trumps ass as passionately he does is sickening and an embarrassment to North Carolina. Thanks for a sign of hope here in Trumpistan.

(5,456 posts)We have a much greater chance of getting back that seat now that Asheville is not split in half. I am so glad to again be able to vote with the rest of Asheville and W.N.C. especially since we have a great candidate.

(2,221 posts)pounding away at the GOP. We over in the 5th District would love to eradicate Virginia Foxx from here seat in congress. She is a nightmare for us in Winston-Salem. Petty, vindictive and small minded all the way all the time. Hurry up January!!!!!
