GOP left is pushing RINO Steve Troxler for governor | Eastern North Carolina Now

The trial balloon over Thom Tillis trying to move into the govenor's mansion from DC seems to have deflated.  The 3 to 1 vote by NCGOP state convention delegates to censure Tillis for his leftwing ways ripped an irrepairable hole in it, but it was already deflating from the 53 counties and several districts that had already passed similar resolutions of censure this year, including Beaufort County.

Now, Tillis' handler, RINO consultant Paul Shumaker, who was also RINO Senator Richard Burr's handler, and the guy behind RINO Pat McCrory's run for Senate, has come up with a new candidate.  He is pushing RINO Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.  Troxler had alluded to possibly running for something different in his speech at the recent NCGOP convention.

Troxler's candidacy stuck in the craw of many loyal NC Republicans when he first ran for Agriculture Commissioner.  The reason was that Troxler had been state chairman of "Farmers for John Edwards" when slick liberal Democrat personal injury lawyer Edwards ran against incumbent conservative Republican US Senator Lauch Faircloth.  The fact that Faircloth's own background before he was a senator was in agriculture, made this a particularly brazen move by Troxler.

A "Republican" who can back liberal Democrats seems a perfect fit for a snake like Shumaker.  He is right in line with other Shumaker candidates like Tillis, Burr, and McCrory.   But it is not what the grassroots Republican activists and voters want.  We do not need another Thom Tillis sitting in the governor's mansion or as our nominee for such.

And Shumaker?  He is one of the two RINO consultants caught by Civitas taking very large sums of money from national far left environmental activist organizations to promote the far left green agenda in the NC General Assembly, a process that gave us North Carolina's Green New Deal, HB951.  To any conservative, Shumaker's association with a campaign should be the kiss of death.

Troxler has also been questionable on gun rights issues which is a huge contrast with frontrunner Mark Robinson, who gained fame originally with support of gun rights.
