Wishes and prayers for Glen Bradley...tonight's the night.

[phill4paul]

Prayers or best wishes. I'd love to have this brother in our state Congress. A primary win is a big deal against the entrenched.

[kcchiefs6465]

When should results be known?

[Swordsmyth]

GOD speed the right!

[Anti Globalist]

Good luck Glen Bradley

[Suzanimal]

I'm in for a bunch of best wishes, a few Hail Mary's, and I'll keep everything I have two of crossed.

[phill4paul]

Track it here...

Gunny is down but it's not over.

Lisa Barnes 76%
Glen Bradley 26%

[AuH20]

It's tough to beat a woman in 2018. Gunny is at an inherent disadvantage.

[phill4paul]

Done deal. Gunny lost.

It's past the ballot box for real change. Establishment wins.

[RJB]

That sucks!

[Swordsmyth]

Sad.
We musn't give up but this is not a good sign.

[phill4paul]

That sucks!

N.C. is a liberal state. Don't believe that because someone wears a tag of "Republican" that they aren't bought and sold. N.C. first amendment created a legal challenge that went to the nine clowns in gowns. It was meant to happen. Glen offered the only way out. Get government out of marriage. His proposal should have resonated with ALL sides. Instead he was gerrymandered. Because, "half backs" control N.C. politics.
It's really no different from National politics where you have Amash, Massie and Paul...and everyone else.
It's all bullshit.

Both sides are controlled by their shadow owners that tell the slaves what to do and the slaves dutifully follow the orders, to their own slaughter.

Republican voters rejected ex-convict Don Blankenship in a West Virginia Senate primary in which he sold himself as "Trumpier than Trump" but was vigorously opposed by the president. GOP voters in Indiana, meanwhile, chose wealthy businessman Mike Braun over two sitting congressmen to lead the party's charge against a vulnerable Democratic senator in the fall.

Hopelessly behind in West Virginia, Blankenship conceded defeat in the contest to determine Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's general election challenger. The Republican president fought in the campaign's final days to defeat Blankenship, a retired coal executive, who remained popular among some West Virginia Republicans despite having served a year in prison for his role in a deadly mine disaster and attacked the Asian heritage of the top Senate Republican's wife.
State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey claimed the nomination instead, promoting his record of challenging policies of the administration of former President Barack Obama and deflecting criticism of his roots in New Jersey, where he lost a 2000 congressional race.
"Mr. President, if you're watching right now, let me tell you, your tweet was huge," Morrisey said in his nomination address, referring to Trump's election eve call for voters to shun Blankenship's candidacy. "You've been to the state now four times. I'd like you to come back as many times as you can between now and November."
Vice President Mike Pence congratulated Morrisey on Twitter, saying, "The great people of WV need a senator who supports the #MAGA agenda."
The key Senate contests headlined primary elections across four states on Tuesday that will help shape the political landscape in this fall's midterm elections. Control of Congress is at stake in addition to state governments across the nation.
In a possible sign of party unrest, however, Rep. Robert Pittenger lost in North Carolina to the Rev. Mark Harris, a Baptist pastor he narrowly beat two years ago. Pittinger is the first incumbent to lose his seat this primary season.


In Indiana, Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly will face off in November against Braun, a multimillionaire owner of a national auto parts distribution business who loaned more than $5.4 million of his own money to his campaign. Braun credited his victory to voter disenchantment with "business as usual" and said he hoped to join other Republican senators who came from outside politics.
Another Indiana contest was less contentious: Greg Pence won the primary for the congressional seat his younger brother, Vice President Mike Pence, once held. Greg Pence is a Marine veteran and owner of two antique malls who once ran the now-bankrupt chain of Tobacco Road convenience stores. He'll be the favorite to win the seat in November.
In Ohio's high-profile governor's race, Democrats nominated Obama-era consumer watchdog Richard Cordray while Republicans selected state Attorney General Mike DeWine.
An Ohio state senator won the Republican primary to succeed retiring Rep. Pat Tiberi. The race had become a proxy fight between Tiberi, a GOP moderate, and conservative Republican Rep. Jim Jordan. Tiberi's candidate, Troy Balderson of Zanesville pulled out a win.


A bright spot for Republicans in swing-state Ohio: GOP turnout was considerably stronger than Democratic voting in the open governor's race. With nearly two-thirds of the vote counted, 567, 000 Republicans cast votes, to 412,000 Democrats.
U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci, with Trump's support, won the Republican primary to challenge Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in November.

Keep fighting the good fight Gunny.

In a district that includes Franklin and southern Nash County, former House member Glen Bradley is seeking to return to the legislature. He served one term in 2011, and was best known for filing a bill to have the state issue its own currency (http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/under-the-dome/article199987484.html). He has raised about $4,700. Bradley's opponent, Lisa Stone Barnes, had raised $96,250.

Tough to win a race when outspent 20 to 1 and the media distorts your record. People will have to be dragged to Liberty kicking and screaming...

[JohnCifelli1]

Thank you Gunny

[RJB]

N.C. is a liberal state. . I probably live in the most liberal hole in this state, but at least the scenery is nice.

[AuH20]

At least, Walter Jones won.

Thanks for the effort Glenn.

I can see why she won. Glen Bradley's site looks like some random assortment of issues, facts, and details... it's a mess.

Lisa Barnes's site however is very well done, it focuses on the key things voters care about: a pretty face and the words "conservative republican".

Thanks for running Glenn.

73% for Lisa, according to:

Also interesting to learn from that article, Glen Bradley once made headlines when he filed a bill that would explore creating a state currency. Isn't that neat?

I'll just donate it to Trump 2020.

You get to meet her family in 1 click. That's what counts. Chicks go for that crap, and their mens follow.

Scroll up a little bit to SneakyFrenchSpy's post and you'll see that isn't true.

Where can I purchase a Bradley - Carolina currency ? Already accepted in almost as many places as bitcoin .

Doesn't matter. We have 100% black box voting in NC. The voting machine paper trails are prohibited from being audited by the public, by state law, and recounts are only allowed if the "official" total is <1% difference between candidates. The real vote totals literally don't matter one tiny bit. What the computer spits out to the BOE website is what goes.

But I'm sure we all know that the Bush v. Gore debacle was all about ensuring future election integrity, right? RIGHT?
