i hope you are right, but what are you basing this on?

Total votes this NC Primary
Democrat Votes: 1,129,241
Republican Votes: 1,138,718

I can see the vast majority of Bernie votes going to Hilary if she wins the primary. But I doubt the vast majority of Republican votes go to Trump. I foresee a lot of republicans abstaining or voting for a third candidate. If Cruz wins, then I can see the vast majority of trump votes going toward Cruz. What I really hope is that Bernie doesn't pull any **** and pull a Ralph Nader if he loses.

Lol, sorry... I couldn't resist a little ribbing.

Highly doubt it. Romney was a weak candidate and still won the state in 2012 and it took historic black turnout for Obama to get it in 2008. Hillary doesn't bring out the same type of enthusiasm as Obama.

I have to agree. It will have to take more than Black turnout to get NC back in the blue and it doesn't have the large liberal base that a comparable state like VA has.
