RALEIGH — Sources deep within the data mines confirm what the DNC fears: The “Roy Cooper for VP” surge is a ghost, engineered by RNC chair Michael Whatley.

Internal crosstabs from a leaked, unsanctioned poll show Whatley’s operation planted a false-flag narrative, flooding swing-state focus groups with the “Cooper-Whatley” pairing to poison the well. The data shows Cooper’s numbers collapse when voters learn of the connection, dropping 12 points in a single frame.

This isn’t a poll. It’s a containment op. The machine is burying Cooper before he can launch. The real battleground? The missing data set from Durham. Do not trust the headlines.
