he barely squeaked by Kay Hagan. The election was extremely close and I only think he won due to voter suppression and other shenanigans.

The reason why I want to get rid of Tillis and the other Republican US Senators from states that currently have Democratic Governors before the Democratic Governors of those states term expires is that the Democratic Governor-Cooper can appoint the replacement for Tillis and or Burr.
Tillis can also lose re-election in 2020 even if it were a Kay Hagan rematch or against Deborah Ross-Burr's 2016 Democratic opponent.
