#ncga MOLES: Senate Rs ready to knife Lt. Dan in the back
At least THAT is what Speaker Timmy is telling his ready-to-mutiny troops in the House Republican Caucus.
Ever since our story about David Lewis’s not-so-secret tea party / arm-twisting session, things have been quite testy among the members of the House’s majority. Battered wife syndrome appears to be setting in. (He keeps lying. Promising to do better next time. And he doesn’t.)
The moles are reporting today that Speaker Timmy admitted to the caucus about the backdoor shenanigans to deep-six HB2. The little man from Kings Mountain doubled down by confessing that a companion bill is set to move through the Senate. 
If that were the case, it would certainly be a shot-across-the-bow at, and a knife in the back of, the elected president of the state Senate, The Honorable Dan Forest. Forest has really stuck his neck out there defending HB2. He’s been all over national media, and even went to Texas to tout North Carolina’s leadership regarding HB2. And here his own troops are ready to pull a Brutus on him. (That is — if you can believe what comes out of Fast Timmy’s mouth.)
The moles tell me that Lewis and Moore kept getting asked in caucus WHY they believe HB2 needs to go down. And neither of them can provide an intelligible, coherent answer. I am told a bill is already making the rounds. (The House Democrat leader, I am told, has been more in the loop on the drafting of the bill than the rank-and-file members of the 
House GOP caucus have been. *Ah, membership in the majority DOES have its privileges, eh?)
Plans were on the table to drop this bombshell on the House floor Friday. But I was told, late today, those plans have been tabled because backers of the repeal bill are not confident that 61 votes for repeal are there.
This may be the an opening move in the 2020 primary for Governor with the Thom Tillis for governor crowd in the House trying to screw their main rival, Dan Forest. Conservatives will stand with Dan.
What is also needed is a dump Tiny Tim Moore movement. Moore is as bad a RINO as Thom Tillis.
What #TomTheTerribleTillis for governor? where did this come from ? and calling him terrible is based on the fact he “F” rated at 35% is certainly nothing to celebrate unless you are a democrat
In school “A’s” were always better than “F’s” but maybe there is some new common core system for for grading now that was not around when I was in school

Yes-sir-ree! Conservatives WILL stand with Lt. Dan!
The Lieutenant Governor is just about the only popular elected Republican left, not named Mark Meadows. Not sure the legislative leaders appreciate what they may unleash, should they try that.
Agree thanks for Info.
All I can say is that the members of the NC House Republican caucus deserve what they get.
They elected, as their leader, a man who has continuously lied to them about what he’s doing and how.
Tiny Timmy and Lurch Lewis have no principals or ideology. They are scummy opportunist who do not have the best interests of NC as a goal, only what is lucrative for them personally.
But this is well known within the marble walls and halls of the NCGA. House Republicans are gullible, malleable fools for elevating these two to lead. TWICE!
This will end with the next election. They will lose the majority. It will not be pretty. It’s their own fault.
