“Where all my peeps at?”
Pretend you are considered by many to be some sort of political messiah. Pretend that you are the consensus front-runner for Governor of North Carolina AND Donald Trump’s running mate. Now imagine this — What if you threw a rally and not-so-many people showed up?
THAT appears to be what happened today. First there was THIS rally at a large popular venue in Johnston County:
I had some of my moles on-scene. The reports I got indicated a turnout of approximately 150. My moles tell me that approximately 30 of those were candidates / elected officials.
Then, there was THIS event:
My sources on-the-ground tell me there were approximately 100 people in attendance for this affair. The weather was fairly nice in both locations, I’m told.
This has GOT to be disappointing for the campaign team of the all-but-anointed governor / vice-president.
I was not on-site, but the fact that Team Robinson has NOTHING to say (photos, etc.) about either event on social media lends quite a bit of credence to the reports I received.
Perhaps people are beginning to see that the Emperor – um, lieutenant governor has NO clothes.
Folks, we are still in primary season. There is still a lot of time. Robinson is not the only choice for Republicans. There are two other folks out there seeking the nomination for governor. Do your due diligence before casting your oh-so-valuable votes, please.
Of the two others choices, one is actually less appealling than Robinson, and the other stands head and shoulders above his rivals.
Bill Graham is endorsed by Thom Tillis and his campaign is being run by Tillis’ consultant. That should tell you all you need to know about him to write him off the list. He is a John Edwards clone, a rich pretty-boy trial lawyer with a murky ideology spending five million dollars of his own money to try to buy the nomination. Graham has royally pissed off the state’s farmers and is thus not electable in November. I would rather hold my nose with Robinson than vote for a Tillis-endorsed John Edwards wannabee like Graham.
The one who stands head and shoulders above the other two is Dale Folwell, who is both a proven conservative and someone who has proven he can get things done in government. Folwell also has the ability to cut into the Democrat base with his endorsement from the State Employees Association. Folwell is both the most electable candidate in November and the one who will do the best job in pushing the conservative agenda in state government.
Wake up People – it’s time we start vetting our candidates not depending on those with agendas to make the pick for us. Folwell all the way!
Dale Folwell is a man whose word I will trust to honest and truthful. But most importantly, he has a record of achievement that few if any can match.
Mark doesn’t have a hope of winning in ENC once he appears at The Culpepper Inn. The owners are “Republicans” who support Democrats and have gained a bad reputation politically in recent years. It’s just one more bit of proof that Mark has zero idea what is going on in the counties he hopes to represent. We don’t need a Governor that is out of touch with Republicans.
no doubt .. my vote will be for FOLWELL
