If Dems can come anywhere near this close in the Presidential race in NC-09 next year, they’ll win the state easily, right?
Correct, but that's not going to happen considering these are very different elections (and electorates).
That district is not going to get better for Trump and will in fact get worse.
It will when we have somebody to run against. You put a Bernie or Warren and you’ll lose more bigly
Dan McCready was a solid candidate in terms of resume, background, ideology, and funding.
Bernie, Warren, and heck many of the other Democratic Presidential contenders probably WON'T do as well as McCready.
This assumes that Trump does at least as well as Bishop.
