I guarantee some GOP NC voters will appreciate that and vote for Hillary or at least the senator. There are some normal republicans in NC.

i am still suspicious about the nature of this attack and who is really behind it but i will wait for the facts to come in before jumping to conclusions.

still i am glad that our side is helping out despite all the unhelpful words being screamed at us by trump and his supporters.

The pictures of the damage made me sad, and I wanted to help clean up, but live across the country. No doubt NC liberals and conservatives will all be helping to make this right.

When your opposition is hateful, small-minded, totally incompetent, and unwilling to change you do your very best to keep them as your opposition, rather than let them be replaced by someone better.

It's the "Dick Armey" theory of opposition leadership. Armey was one of the worst House Majority leaders ever, Democrats knew it, and they went to great lengths to ensure that Armey was never far from a bar or at a loss for a golf partner. They held a party for him when he retired, because as long as he was in charge, Republicans in the House were unorganized and ineffective.

Similarly, as long as North Carolina Republicans continue to work as little as they do, they're helping to build an era of progressive success in NC. So hell yeah, we want to help them continue to help themselves to a fourth martini at their Applebee's "meetings."

but i like that the dems showed what good people we are here. it's a stark contrast with all the hateful rhetoric that we've been hearing from trump and his supporters. they are busy pointing fingers and calling names even though we do not yet know who did this, while dems were trying to help them out in a positive way.
