McCrory concedes NC gubernatorial contest.

[11 Bravo]

The good guys win one! I hope McCrory realizes that it was his maniacal transphobia vis-a-vis NC's "Bathroom Bill" which ironically sent his political career right down the shitter.

1. Now he can fulfill his dream of being a bathroom attendant

13. "May I check your genitalia, Ma'am?"

[Island Blue]

2. The best news I've heard

in an entire month!

[Farmgirl1961]

3. Hallelujah for small miracles...

Otherwise I've pretty much lost faith in our country.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. It's about stoopin time!

[OnDoutside]

5. "The McCrory administration team will assist in every way to help the new administration make a

smooth transition."

Yeah, right, sure Pat.

[MineralMan]

6. About time, too...

[blm]

7. Partially true - Specifically, what cost McCrory in one VERY RED area was privatizing toll lanes

and signing the deal with corrupt Spanish firm, CINTRA. Had those Republicans voted typically then McCrory would have narrowly won a second term despite HB2.

Toll lanes will likely cost Thom Tillis, too. The toll lanes were pushed through by Tillis and that highway just happens to be in what should be his strongest area, his hometown.

This is a lesson Dems should take up nationally - say NO to privatization of the nation's roadways, lands, and waterways.

8. Color me surprised

I figured McCrory was going to fight it right down to throwing the election to the legislature, hoping they would simply appoint him for another term as governor over the election results (there's a provision in the North Carolina state constitution to do that). Apparently, there are still some Republicans with a vestigial conscience in North Carolina, who have reached their limit at last.

9. Lets not be dumb about this. The real reason he concedes is

they are not going to let him argue before the cours for a recount and open the "books" and risk revealing what really happened with the NC vote tally/count. Are we that naivete ?????

[blm]

15. I've been saying so since he dropped the idea of a full state recount almost immediately. No way

does NCGOP want a full state recount - they padded Trump and Burr votes all over the state.

[Lucinda]

10. KNR

[lame54]

11. It would have been a bigger blowout if it wasn't for...

The exposure he got for the hurricane and the floods

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Not a moment too soon. . . . nt

14. A ray of hope breaks through the muck. So how about a little Hallelujah Chorus...
