Republicans have kept a stranglehold over North Carolina politics for nearly a decade. And Democrats in the Tar Heel State are ready to strike back.
A report from the Associated Press reveals that Democrats are recruiting candidates for the North Carolina General Assembly at a frenetic pace.
“Democrats already have already fielded an unusually large pool of candidates for 100 seats in the 170-member bicameral legislature,” the AP notes. “Though official candidate filing doesn’t start until mid-February, the Democrats are quickly approaching the number of House and Senate seats they contested in 2016 and hope to strongly contest each seat in November.”
This is only the latest in a nationwide trend of Democrats signing up thousands of candidates to run at every level. Even in Texas, Democrats are having similar success. - ShareBlueMedia

has had enough of GOPee policies, now that the country has seen what they are, undiluted by Dems.
Hint: death, catastrophe, and ruin.
