NC-SEN 2020: Tar Heel Tillis

[GeneralMacArthur]

The local stations in NC are all Sinclair, they've probably been trashing Cunningham and praising Tillis all year long.

It's a shame this came out so close to the election. The ballots are already being sent out and returned.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Cal has to go

McIntyre or Shuler.

That's it.

Can you stop pulling names out of a hat? This has become borderline spamming.

If this damages Cunningham... Isn't that a good thing for him, since a lot of people who may now not vote for him already voted for him?

Some voters just keep the last few news cycles in mind when they enter the polling booth. These probably outnumber those who've already voted and would otherwise be against Cunningham.

Uh, can everyone calm down please? Anyone who has seen the texts knows that this is no “scandal”

Yes, it is

I like how there's literally a new Cunningham +11 poll and people are still freaking out

But muh 2016, but muh too early, but muh Data for Progress, but muh gut feeling.

This #analysis on all this is ridiculous. I agree that this isn't good news for Cunningham, but he is still favored. A 6%+ gap is not going to be closed by something like this alone in this day and age.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Cunningham is supposed to be speaking right now. Is he?

[QAnonKelly]

I don’t think any gettable voters care about this.

Seems....reassuring

[Cashew]

Yes, it is

Yes, a deepfake scandal.

[Splash]

210K Americans are dead because of the coronavirus. The typical political sex scandals of days past don't have resonance right now and folks who think this will change the trajectory of this race by any meaningful degree are divorced from reality. However, I will concede that it may prove decisive on the margins if this race this race ends up being a photo finish, but I don't think it will be. We'll see.

As I’ve said several times, Cunningham was never going to win by 6 points or even 4 points. People are really overestimating how much ticket-splitting there will be in GA/IA/NC/TX.

[wbrocks67]

Yeah, it's starting to feel like the Charlotte Observer is not on the up and up. A) this "scandal" did not deserve 3 entire front page top headlines and B) I see they've conveniently left out anything about Tillis contracting COVID or his own scandal

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Cunningham isn't gonna win, he needs to drop out, he violated the military code of conduct. All in on SC now

oh lord

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

oh lord

What now?

[ProgressiveModerate]

oh lord

Was if really that terrible?

[KaiserDave]

I'm just worried about the press conference

[riceowl]

Conference is fine, but he's really not answering if there are any other shoes pending droppage.

Basically a confirmation that there were other women. The campaign must think the drip, drip, drip reveal of new affairs is preferable to being totally honest now.
