Saw a bunch of anti-Jeff Jackson ads yesterday and none pro Jackson, which is concerning. But it was the first I’ve seen of any tv ads down ballot from NC Governor.

I’ve seen the pro-Jackson ad multiple times (with his family,) including on the local morning news this morning. I’ve only seen the anti-Jackson ad once, and I’m not sure it even mentioned his opponent.

Nonsense. For all the talk about the Harris campaign trying to bring Haley voters in, Nikki Haley herself has endorsed Trump because she thinks Harris is a total disaster. Always has. And she called it a long time ago that it would eventually be Harris and not Biden on the top of the ticket this time.

If a random Haley voter is a “leans right” conservative (call it “55” on a scale from 1 to 100 where 1 is ultra liberal and 100 is ultra conservative), then the choice they’re given in this election is basically between 25 (Harris) and 85 (Trump). Those are the people who will be truly torn because they’re equidistant from the two candidates.

But if you’re a 60 or 65, you’re likely closer to Trump than Harris.

Don’t nitpick me on the numbers chosen as the real purpose is to show directionally why select Haley supporters may deflect to Harris, while the majority will not.

I won't nitpick your made up numbers in your fantasy land story. I don't consider Nikki Haley a moderate so your whole premise is off.

Hence your problem then. I agree with you the conversation isn’t worth having if you don’t consider Nikki Haley a moderate.

My intention is not to argue or debate with you, but I want to understand, so I have a few of questions.

1. If so many people who served at the highest levels in trump's term and who know him well aren't supporting him, what evidence do you have that makes you believe your judgment is better than theirs?

2. Is Project 2025 moderately conservative?

3. With trump's history of not having in-depth knowledge of policy and details, and his propensity for surrounding himself with loyalists, how much of Project 2025 gets implemented if trump is elected?

Remind us again what Haley said about Trump?

No one with a r behind their name is moderate, or even conservative. Hence your problem with how badly you want to view yourself that way.

Yeah, Republicans love to keep saying that they're the "Silent Majority" even though they've lost the national popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections and almost certainly will lose it by millions of votes again this year. And on issues like abortion they're also clearly a minority, as pro-choice referendums have easily passed even in solid red states like Kansas and Ohio. On most issues - abortion, access to birth control, IVF, gun control, gay marriage, voting rights, making major changes to Social Security and Medicare, etc. - Republicans are in the minority, and often by wide margins. They're not "moderate", no matter how many times they claim they are, and increasingly they're not even conservative, at least in any traditional political sense. They're reactionary - they want to turn the clock backwards on a host of issues and go back to some imagined "good old days" decade.

So how do you not see Robinson and Trump in the same light. Trump basically did when he was declaring Robinson to be Martin Luther King Jr on Steroids and telling everyone how wonderful Robinson is.

I wonder if Trump likes Trans with women porn, like Robinson?

This might be the year when the more centrist conservatives make a choice to take back their party from the nut jobs Cultist trumpers.

Yes that would mean losing the presidential election, but it would give them a chance to move on from the lunacy that is trump and his type. They could then start to support more reasonable rational conservatives who will work to propose and work with others in the legislator to improve the country for everyone. Move on from the war on minority groups.

Trump has no plan to pull his endorsement of Mark Robinson after alleged porn site scandal

Trump is facing pressure from some allies and staff to break with the gubernatorial candidate after a report on his past comments, but so far he does not plan to drop him.
