I’m sick of all the power mad republicans who got the bit between their raggedy old teeth and started to run amok in our state as the poster children doing the dirty work of the Heritage Foundation and all their fudi allies. Can’t stand any of them and take every chance I get to vote them out. I just wish NC voters would wake up to the damage they’ve done in their 16 years of power.
Power never concedes anything without a demand. But you’d think that a Board of Elections headed up by Berger’s hand picked operative, and overseen by the former chair of the NCGOP rejecting his request for a hand recount should give him a clue. Even his own stooges think he lost!
Should he bow out with grace? Sure. Will he? Doubtful. Will it hurt Republicans more broadly? I sure hope so. And I ithink Napoleon’s advice to never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake applies here.
As my Daddy, Duplin County farmer, born and bred, used to say, “he’s showing his ass.” It’s not a good look, and, hopefully, the good folks of NC are getting tired of these showboating clowns who are turning the state into a laughingstock.
Phil Sr had ample opportunities to run for statewide or federal office and didn't. (I know the joke. He didn't want the demotion or the pay cut.) Instead, he assumed he would effectively have lifetime tenure as state Senate leader, never imaging his own constituents would grow tired of him. Wow. Reality bites.
If he somehow cheats his way to another term, what a gift for North Carolina Democrats this fall, if they use it wisely.
Sadly Republicans control most of the state and have for some time now. I haven’t seen a plan nor a set of platform to policies from the democrats. There’s no better opportunity to put young democrats on the ballot.

Republican and grace in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Is it too personal, and in bad taste, to wonder if his spouse prefers he not be acquainted with Grace? Okay - I know - it's Monday.

Berger go out with grace? Those in power go out with a fight
Berger going out with grace is an oxymoron.
And a redundancy.
I wrote the same comment without seeing yours!
It seems like a major difference in political party philosophy is:
Democrats want to win elections to gain political power.
Republicans want to gain political power and don’t give a damn how they attain it or if their constituents want them.
