ROY COOPER AND MICHAEL WHATLEY: THE POLL THAT TERRIFIES THE ESTABLISHMENT

In a political event that moral critics are calling “the final straw for ethical campaigning,” former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and RNC Chair Michael Whatley have joined forces on a shocking new poll that has prompted hand-wringing from coast to coast.
