Can't wait for the conservative meltdown here on Atlas when the Dems win NC and Republicans realize they're slowly but surely losing the state just like they lost VA years ago.
Nope, sorry. NC is not even close to VA, and even at a constant GOP downhill trend (also a myth; electorates and party ideology shifts and adjusts drastically over time + factor in favorability & preference for change in office, .etc) it's not a blue state anytime soon.
Donald Trump (at least for right now) and Ted Cruz don't exactly embody the average electability of a Republican.
