Read more about what Republicans and Independents are saying about Pat McCrory:
- Former State Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr: “Candidly, I don’t think Pat fits in the Republican Party of today…He’s trying to. But it’s a square peg in a round hole.”
- Former Republican state Sen. Bob Rucho: “He would enjoy coming down and telling us what to do…He didn’t understand how Raleigh worked and how you had to work with a legislature. There’s an old saying: ‘Some people just don’t know what they don’t know.’ Clearly, Pat believed he was going to tell Raleigh what to do.”
- Former Republican state Sen. Tom Apodaca: “He did not understand how state government worked.”
- Former GOP state Rep. Charles Jeter: “He still has pretty thin skin when it comes to getting his way…Pat may have one of the shortest fuses I’ve seen in my life.”
- Steven Rader, former state party official from Beaufort County: McCrory is a “wishy washy moderate.”
- Jim Womack, director of the grassroots Conservative Coalition of NC: He “blows with the wind…“Whatever’s expedient about getting elected.”
