Leave it to Tillis to be in favor of anything that hurts Americans. Of course, since he lied about where he lived in NC, perhaps we shouldn't believe anything he writes or says. KATHY

Right on, Thomas! I'd like to see ire also directed at NC's (gerrymandered) Republican congressional delegation as well. The Trump coalition is divided on tariffs and will become more so as they feel pain in the pocketbook.

There are several outlets selling Trump "I Did This" or "My Tariff Did This" stickers, for example:

If someone made a smaller sticker with Tillis's face and the caption, "And I Helped!!", I'd buy a bunch.

Way to bring in penguins. Great move. Cadence speaking/writing, harmonic. In the moment with PoliticsNC. Thank you Mills and subscribers. Everybody stay well.

You can’t get through to Tillis. Was put on hold forever. Maybe that’s a good thing if the phone lines were jammed with protests about the tariffs

Would be nice, but probably not jammed with protests. He doesn't want to hear from constituents, so the phones might have been deliberately 'off the hook,' just as he would like to be.

There's occasionally a glimmer of hope from Tillis but it doesn't last.

He's a hypocrite thru and thru, no jingle, no shine, no glimmer.

I pretty much left this exact message this morning in my email. Sent the same email to

Budd but we know that is a waste of time. I just cut and paste.

Ya know, I think both those iafs think they will nit be voted out in NC. I hope they are in for a surprise. Wake up NC repubs.

I don't get the calculation that he is more concerned about losing in a primary to a MAGA, than ensuring that his coddling the extremist right he loses in the general election. Explain? In either case, I hope the Democratic party doesn't blow what could be a gimme, and nominates a left/center candidate.
