Thom Tillis, Republican Senate candidate from NC:

The traditional population of North Carolina and the United States is more or less stable. It's not growing. The African American population is roughly growing but the Hispanic population and the other immigrant populations are growing in significant numbers. We've got to resonate with those future voters.

I imagine African Americans will probably be pretty skeptical of the notion that they are not part of the 'traditional' population of NC.

His team pathetically tried to smooth this over, later, by saying:

""Traditional" North Carolinians refers to North Carolinians who have been here for a few generations. A lot of the state's recent population growth is from people who move from other states to live, work, and settle down in North Carolina. Thom Tillis for example."

Oh, I see! When Tillis initially divided the population into "traditional", African American and Hispanic, he really meant natives and newcomers! I'll buy that.

We'll probably elect this asshat, too.
