I’m fine with him retiring, because this is a clear chance for a Dem replacement, but politics shouldn’t be a blood sport. A single disagreement with your party shouldn’t lead to threats from the President. It’s insane.

Let’s be honest this is as bad as it’s been since 11/5. SCOTUS just kneecapped the judiciary and Miami is postponing elections. Canary in the coal mine. And now Trump has essentially pushed Tillis out. We are pretty well F’d imo

Sounds to me like they looked at special elections so far and decided they would lose and moved them. So yeah it sounds like BS where the GOP is afraid of their voters not showing up

I would like to see just 1, dem or rep, stand up for what they think is in the best interest of their constituents, against their party pressure,and not pull out of the following election. If they believe they are doing what their constituents want, why pull out? We would have beat him anyway.

Its not about the threats or disagreements. It’s about not having the courage to speak up and say enough is enough. He has no faith in his constituents standing behind him either.

Do you think he’s getting threats to his physical safety? Or is it just threats to his political future (i.e. Trump will endorse a challenger)?

He’s already gotten them; they threatened his kids & grandkids. From both sides. And probably from the Nazi Nosferatu, now, too. I mean, I hate Fascism but these fuckers are unhinged. Honestly, we don’t need psychopaths on our side, and damn sure don’t in the White House. youtu.be/G5a4-3CzOiw?...

Honestly he’s deeply unfavorable in the state at this point and NC is more purple than it is red. He understands there is going to be major backlash in 2026, and internal polling is probably grim against Cooper. Tillis is now going to be a major source of frustration for Rs in the senate.

This particular group of Rs, especially. If you haven't read Sarah Kendzior's books, consider them. The US became so distracted after 9/11 that the Russian mafia took hold in NYC.

I was struck by the debris that flowed south on 9/11, saw it shoot up as each tower fell. The Russian mob has been in Brighton Beach since the 70's. They scared everyone else to death, but there was one NY state senator who got his from them, regardless. Can't remember his name...

He's from that neck of the woods. Back in the day, both Gastonia and Belmont were rough mill towns. I stayed out of both of them. I think a lot of that area has gentrified now.

Oh yes, where I come from in Brooklyn, the neighborhood was 85% Italian. It's mostly Chinese. I saw one old woman on my grandmother's block with her head out her window, moaning, "We're being invaded!" The houses are old. The influx saved them. The same windows with no Christmas lights is a trip...

Agree. But Republicans have been chasing moderates out of the party for decades now - Chafee, Snow, Corker. The last 2 got out while the getting was good. Corker was the first to call the party under Trump a cult.

A sad time in this country when a politician disagrees with the president that he and his family are subject to death threats from the Maga Cult! Both sides are not equal. It's a very rare case when Dems threaten those whom they disagree with. Too common among the Magas!
