NC-SEN, 2022: The Beasley Resurrection?

[Pink Panther]

McCrory has more name recognition and has polled better than Walker among GOP primary voters(I know it's polls, and it's been broken since Trump, but they weren't bad for the most part for GOP primaries in 2020 and 2018). Walker can win this primary, but he either needs Trump's endorsement, or his opponents bungling their campaigns. However, we don't know what will happen yet, so I'm saying McCrory is the favorite at the moment.

[TML]

Remember that the biggest factor that cost McCrory a second term as governor was not the bathroom bill (HB2), but his support of the I-77 toll lanes project in the Charlotte area. I hope that he is made to answer for this by his opponents (whether in the primary or in the general).

Lol, blue avatars were so happy about getting rid of Lara Trump that they ignored the giant clown car behind them.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is the best red state pickup chance even better than GA but outside of PA, WI and NH, it's still gonna be tough

Pat McCrorys YouTube Announcement is even more devastating for Democrats. He isn't even mentioning President Biden, all about VP Kamala Harris who is the most far leftist VP in the History of this Country

And this is what Republicans should be doing the next 3 years. Go after Harris!

[Roll Roons]

When McCrory first ran for Governor, he called himself an "Eisenhower Republican". How times change.

Lmao. What. During the campaign, the GOP had NO clue how to land an attack on Harris (same as is now the problem with Biden). They were torn between "soft on crime / radical left" and "Kamala the cop." Totally cringe.

If Lara Trump doesn't run, is this just McCroy's nomination to lose?

Walker and (probably) Ted Budd are running as well.

Yeah but do they have the name ID he has

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

McCrory is a stronger candidate than the Rs in OH, OH is a better pickup than NC that's why the last polled showed an exact tie with all R candidates and D's can win the OH Gov race, too, bit not ruling out splits

[Mr. Smith]

McCrory...tell me, how did this turn out for Bredesen, Bullock, Thompson, Strickland, and pretty much every Gov. this decade except Voldemort [and even that was a close one]?

[GALeftist]

McCrory would be worst case scenario for the NC GOP, although he'd still probably be favored

Ted Budd runs because he wants McCrory to win the Primary.

Didn't Bredesen outperform the rest of the Democratic ticket in Tennessee by 10+ points? If McCrory does as well as he did then he'll win by a fine margin.

This. So much this. I don't think McCrory would outperform that much, but he'd still be favored since it's North Carolina in a Biden midterm.

McCroy lost the state as Trump Won it, he's not popular or fondly remembered.

I think so too!

McCrory lost his Race in 2016 against one of the most popular Individuals in North Carolina in Roy Cooper and only by some 10,000 Votes. Can you imagine how that would look like in a Biden Midterm? Jeff Jackson is no Roy Cooper! And all these threats with Court Packing, New Green Deal, Statehoods left and right is only going to rile up the Republican Base! The Democrats know they are done in Republican-leaning States come 2022 if this continues.

It worked fine for Maggie Hassan, Tim Kaine, Angus King, John Hickenlooper and Mike Rounds (and Mitt Romney, at a stretch). Go back to the 2010 cycle, and you can also include John Hoeven and Joe Manchin. It’s usually a good launching pad, and there are so many failures because they are almost always pressured to run in races which are considered difficult for other potential nominees.

Linda Lingle probably saw the biggest blowout for a former Governor in a Senate race this decade (I’m not considering those who were Senators previously, of course). Among the losers, Charlie Crist in 2010 is also worth a mention, and Mike Castle for his defeat in the 2010 DE primary.

I was more speaking in defense of Bredesen than McCrory, but this is also true to an extent. I think McCrory's governorship makes him one of the better GOP candidates, even if he is not as popular in North Carolina as Bredesen was in Tennessee. I'd say lean R would be a fair starting point if he runs.

[S019]

Safe R, nothing to see here

lol

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's Lean R until we see a poll, Tillis was underdog all yr long and he won

For once you make perfect sense.
