Sen. Thom Tillis , center, speaks with Sen. Rick Scott before a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 7 at 10:15 AM The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., reports:Garland Tucker III, the retired chairman and CEO of Triangle Capital Corporation and an author, filed paperwork with the Federal Election Committee to run in the Republican primary on Monday.
Tillis may now draw primary challengers from the right-wing of the GOP as well as more moderate Republicans who challenge Trump’s disastrous foreign policy management, climate change denial and protectionism. Tillis’s biggest problem will be running with Trump at the top of the ticket. Provided Democrats don’t blow it with a unelectable nominee, North Carolina will be a key battleground state and a place to re-energize African American voters. Like it or not, Tillis is going to be joined at the hip with Trump and held to account for failing to take on the latter’s racism, corruption and trade wars.
Instead of doing everything in their power to check Trump’s excesses and/or make a second term untenable, they’ve paved the way for a nominee at the top of the ticket who’s likely to drag them under.
Everyone hates him in NC. EVERYONE
Opinion: the Washington Post would be nothing without Trump. Non stop hate baiting

Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Either way you slice this, when you analyze it, you don’t end up giving these people the benefit of the doubt. We’re looking for what their calculation might be in saying what they’re saying rather than it actually being honest. - Rush Limbaugh
