What’s this guy Tillis’ issue? Is he a big RINO or something? Or just more lib white people in the state now-a-days?

[woweeitsme]

I’m guessing it’s more of the latter. The northerners move down south to avoid the taxes, then want to vote for Democrats.

Tillis is just another establishment shill.

I watched a portion of a Tillis-Hagan debate and all I saw was the two candidates trying to praise government employees with Hagan talking about “math teachers” and Tillis about “first responders” (police and fire).

Not very inspiring because our country is so deep in the hole because of unsustainable salaries and benefits for employees like those mentioned above.

I am a government employee myself and understand this.

Tillis is a Romney supported RINO in the first place in my estimation anyway. He defeated a more conservative candidate in the priumary.

[Republican Wildcat]

He’s boring and running a poor campaign (regardless of RINO)...and the latter is probably also accurate, unfortunately. Romney carried it in 2012 narrowly but Obama won in 2008 along with Dole losing the Senate race - previously a solid red state.

[JSDude1]

Some of that, but he’s bland.

[rrrod]

Icalled his campaign office today....I wanted to hear with my own ears just how screwed up this campaign could be....they hung up on me lol

I don't know if he's a RINO or not. But I do know that he was the GOPe’s designated candidate (you know, the one considered “most electable” like Tommy Thompson, George Allen ad nausium) against the conservatives running in the primary.

The Demographics haven't changed that much in 2 years. Tillis is the worst candidate running for an open seat. December 2012 Tillis:“The other thing we’re going to do is send a very clear message to Washington that they can make our job a lot easier if they would deal with the issue that they’ve kicked down the road – Republicans and Democrats – for many, many years.” http://www.hpe.com/news/x1576248598/McCrory-accuses-furniture-industry-on-illegal-labor August 2013: The GOP governor accused High Point area manufacturers of backing a bill McCrory vetoed that allows employers extra time to verify the legal status of a worker. The N.C. General Assembly this week overrode McCrory’s veto from earlier this summer of legislation that extends from three months to nine months the amount of time an employee can draw a paycheck without having his or her legal status cleared though a federal database known as E-Verify. http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/08/15/3109599/mccrory-vetoes-first-bill-drug.html Tillis said the immigration bill was designed to help alleviate the problems that employers in the state face because of federal immigration procedures and policies. “The regulatory burden and complexity caused by federal inaction requires us to consider stop-gap measures while we wait for politicians in D.C. to take action,” he said. “This bill received strong bipartisan support and sought to provide clarity to employers and agencies regarding the impact of illegal immigration in North Carolina.” http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/08/15/3109599/mccrory-vetoes-first-bill-drug.html#storylink=cpy

NC has a Republican house, senate and governor. They have successfully passed a ton of conservative legislation through and the left is howling. Tillis has been the speaker of the house and played a major roll in the conservative successes. He will be a conservative force in the US Senate. The left knows this and they are going after him with a vengeance. Someone on the right has falsely charged him as a RINO. And so the right is sitting on their hands. They are blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other, IMO.

I did not vote for him in the primary, but I wish I had!
