He's a former pastor. That alone is going to secure him some votes. Plus that district has been republican since 1963:

Pittenger won the general election on November 6, defeating Democratic Mecklenburg County Commission Chairwoman Jennifer Roberts 52%–47%.[19][20] While Pittenger lost the district's share of Mecklenburg County (47%), he ran up huge margins in the Union (63%) and Iredell (64%) portions of the district. Still, it was the closest that a Republican had come to losing this district since 1986.

Correct. These districts have been redrawn since 2017 and has a more liberal slant than before, a larger urban makeup, and now holds aroubd 35 percent minorities.

High turn out has a chance of flipping this blue, but considering we lost power today it's been a bit of a struggle to get around and get people registered. :francis:

On the other hand Harris's people have been doing their tour outside of his strict and into other parts of Meck Co and the state and it has increased the conversation outside of just hit largely because a lot of people aren't sure who's in their district.

Hopefully they show up and just hit D anyway. :lolbron:

Because I prefer the bumbling ineffective Nazi leader to an effective one.
If you believe the republican congress would have or has had an easier time with working with Trump than they would have with Pence, you are grossly misinformed.
The idea that somehow the sham Pence administration would be effective or have any authority post-impeachment is laughable.
It's crucial that we as a society completely discredit and disassociate the democratic process from this demagogue.

Not impeaching him only validates his presence, which means those like him in the future will feel re-assured. If he's impeached, the message is sent that nazis, demagogues, and the like are unwelcome.

:dwillhuh:Exactly, Mitch and Paul would be running the country...
You are really sold on this idea that congress wouldn’t prefer a republican puppet in the Oval Office...

You really believe his lack of authority would be a bad thing to congress?...
Controllable/measured > erratic/twitterfingers... always:wow:


:mjcry:President Pence scares the shyt out of me... only thing worse than a white supremacist in my opinion is a religious zealot white supremacacist.

Stop playing dumb. Everything you're saying is irrelevant, misconstrued, or naive. You suppose Pence hasn't already been working on his agenda behind the scenes. You and I both know dikk Cheney ran everything. This is the same situation. You're a real idiot if you think they need to wait for Pence to be the president to have him already call all the shots. Not to mention the fact that when Nixon resigned for his fukk-up, Spiro Agnew went down with him, so historical precedence states Pence would be gone, too.

Impeaching Trump is bigger than Pence, anyways. If Trump goes into history books as a genuine president, it's the end of the democratic experiment in the same way Nero, Caligula and them were the end of Rome. The whole point of the Russians doing everything they could to get him elected was to call the authenticity of American democracy into question so they could never be reproached for their oligarchy. It's more important to discredit Trump than to worry about what Pence would do in the ~24 months left as president, especially considering he's probably the shadow president already.

You NOT wanting to impeach Trump means you want him to go down as an authentic president, which does more irreparable harm to fabric of American democracy, than anything Pence could possibly do in the limited timeframe he'd have.

There is no discernible difference between what Pence Supports and what Trump supports.
False.
Tact and political know how...

For example Trumps grandiose promise: “We’re
going to have insurance for everybody“ and his promise to veto a bill that didn’t deliver that made healthcare virtually impossible. President Pence wouldn’t have these kinds of ‘snags’... and there’s a long list of them.
