Mark Robinson thread | Report - Pressure on Robinson to drop out?

The good news is it’s hard to see Robinson being removed from the ticket as meaningfully helping Trump’s chance in North Carolina. I can’t imagine that there are many, if any, voters who were going to show up to vote for Robinson but also vote against Trump. Also, can’t really imagine there are many, if any, Republican voters who will say “you know what, I wasn’t going to even vote since Mark Robinson was on the ballot, but now that he’s not, I’m definitely going to show up to vote!”

Some of this is probably about trying to depress Pub turnout at the margins.

If you've got Pub-leaners who look at the ballot and see folks they don't really like, it might make a few of the apathetic enough to stay home. Not a lot by percentage, but if it shaves off 0.1-0.2% from Trump, perhaps it makes a difference?

And, of course, the article (not Robinson potentially withdrawing) likely makes a huge difference to Stein.
 
“…
“I like watching tranny on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”

In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Robinson repeatedly denied that he made the comments on Nude Africa.

“This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. Presented with the litany of evidence connecting him with the minisoldr user name on Nude Africa, Robinson said, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.” …”
 
“… Robinson, who would become North Carolina’s first Black governor if elected, also repeatedly maligned civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., attacking him in such intense terms that a user accused him of being a white supremacist.

“Get that f*cking commie bastard off the National Mall!,” Robinson wrote about the dedication of the memorial to King in Washington, DC, by then-President Barack Obama.

“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!” Robinson responded. …”

I guess it's not all bad for Mark. This will pick him up some supporters around the state.

Have the Republicans ever simply considered not putting insane weirdo freaks on, like, every single one of their tickets?

If not, he could make a strong run for Senate in Mississippi.
 
“… Writing in a forum discussing Black Republicans in October 2010, Robinson stated unprovoked: “I’m a Black Nazi!”

That same month, Robinson wrote in another post that he supported the return of slavery.

“Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it (slavery) back. I would certainly buy a few,” he wrote.

In March 2012, Robinson wrote that he preferred the former leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler over the leadership in Washington during the administration of Barack Obama.

“I’d take Hitler over any of the sh*t that’s in Washington right now!” he wrote. …”
