Hillary lost by 173,315 votes.

3rd parties in NC got 189,617.

Anyone who voted for a 3rd party threw their vote away and handed those states to Trump basically. So they cannot complain about Trump as though they can claim "Well I did not vote for him..." well you kind of did indirectly. At least Jill Stein and Gary Johnson voters should own up to it.

There were two choices in the election Trump v. Clinton. This whole bullshit of I am voting useless 3rd party because I cannot bring my self to vote for either is self-delusional.

If you voted for Trump, he is your President
If you voted for HRC, good effort but she came up short and Trump won and is your President, shit happens.
If you voted for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson, you knew you were handing it to Trump so embrace it.

You only need to look at GWB's Trump cheerleading to 3rd party post ratio to see where his loyalties lay.

Right. Adults understand this.
 
Sadly we are stuck with Trump showing up in Charlotte. Nobody here in N.C. wants the associated riots and protests. The number of delegates showing up is so small (6 per state) that Charlotte will not get much of a hotel or restaurant revenue boost.

Trump says he will accept GOP nomination in North Carolina

President Trump plans to accept the Republican presidential nomination in North Carolina next month after all, he told a local news outlet on Monday.

“I’ll be in North Carolina and that’s a very big deal because we have a lot of the delegates there and that will be a nomination process, and that’s essentially where the nomination, where it’s formalized,” Trump told Raleigh-based WRAL News in an interview after being asked where he planned to deliver his acceptance speech.

“I’m really honored to do it in North Carolina. We won the state,” the president continued, referring to his 2016 victory. “We’ve had really great relationships with the state and so I’m very happy to be back.”

Trump said further details on his acceptance speech would be released later in the week.

The announcement amounts to a reversal for the president, who had moved his acceptance speech and other convention events from North Carolina to Florida after North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) insisted on the GOP holding a scaled-down convention because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump was slated to deliver his acceptance speech in Jacksonville, Fla., but the president abruptly announced at a White House briefing last week he was canceling the events there due to a surge of coronavirus cases in Florida.

“I told my team it's time to cancel the Jacksonville component of the GOP convention,” Trump told reporters. “I’ll still do a convention speech in a different form, but we won’t do a big crowded convention."

The regular convention business was still expected to take place in Charlotte, N.C., even after the Republican National Committee moved the larger events to Jacksonville. Trump said last week that the nominating business would move forward in Charlotte as planned.
 
Looks like Trump won't show up in Charlotte...
