10. Has he picked his EPA person yet?

McCrory would be perfect - he can ruin the entire US instead of just NC.

40. Energy secretary

After all, he has been employed by Duke Energy for what seems to be forever, his meal ticket while Mayor here (Charlotte mayor is a "part-time" position). He didn't exactly embrace Trump, but didn't run from him either. He has nowhere else to go politically.

7. Great news!!!

We need to do this in other states now. It won't be easy but it's gotta happen. This will allow Cooper to be there through the 2020 census (although there would be a need to be a 2nd term to temper any gerrymandering and an effort to get more state legislative seats).

[CRK7376]

18. Unfortunately no

I think our state is deeply red, but thanks to our major urban areas we were able to flip the governor and AG in our favor. Wish we could do that with the State and Fed House and Senate...next election n 2 years. Plenty of time to rebuild and chip away at our elected idiots....

expand medicare and medicaid then

He got a call to the affect of, "back down Pat. You know all the shady stuff we pulled to get you elected last time? We don't want to get exposed and have people find out that Trump actually lost in NC."
