    FWIW - He’s not polling well and may even be helping put NC in play for POTUS…

      I hope so, but I have my doubts. I’m in greensboro now, and I see his signs pretty often. My only hope is that Trump supporters actually listen to what he says, because they tend not to actually like him when they look into what he says (had at least one coworker that’s a trump supporter express support for him, but when he actually looked him up, he didn’t like him that much).

        I also have seen far more Trump signs than Harris (ENC; a good 2 hours from a real city), but I’m also seeing A LOT of Trump campaign ads; I don’t think they’d be spending much money here if they thought they had the state sewn up…

          I’m getting near daily Trump mailers. The NC republican party is spending some serious money. It does make them look desperate, but who knows, maybe they just have money to burn.

            I kinda suspect it’s the latter. I drive around pretty randomly for fun, and the amount of Trump signs and flags in yards is arguably higher than it has ever been. That being said, I think it’s pretty telling they rarely have a Trump/Vance sign, so if Trump were to step down they’d probably lose pretty heavily.

            I have this sense too; I don’t know if there’s any truth to it, though.

            I also feel like Trump supporters are more likely to commit acts of violence against Harris supporters than vice versa.
