Mark Robinson thread | Sues CNN for Naked Africa reporting

I feel pretty certain that there is nothing that Robinson could have possibly said, done, or written that would be bad enough to turn the Republican Party against him- this is simply because Robinson is tanking Trump‘s chances in a state that is a can’t-lose for the Trump campaign. It’s certainly not some principled stand by the GOP or anything.

This. No way whatever comes out would be worse than what's already known about this clown. He's an anchor around the neck of Trump's chances in NC, so he's gotta go. How much better would a last-minute replacement be for them?
 
Rumor is Vance, when he visited this weekend, told Robinson to kick rocks. And the Trump campaign has been distant from him.

They know. They’ve known. And he could bring down 45’s ambitions here, and it could cost him the election.
 
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!”
 
Can he be replaced on the ballot? Today is the last day to drop out but to get the name off the ballot has already passed.
And does the GOP care that much about the office of governor? They've already neutered the power of the office so it is not that big a deal if a democrat wins it again.
 
I, for one, would like to encourage Mark Robinson to stand strong in the face of these attacks and to refuse to drop out of the race for NC Governor.

He should not bend to pressure from outside forces and should instead continue his fight to lead our state no matter what utterly salacious details come out about him.
 

Huge Story about to Drop on Mark Robinson... | National Review

www.nationalreview.com

“My phone is blowing up today with calls and texts from Republican sources in North Carolina who are waiting with bated breath about a huge story CNN is reportedly about to drop on this year’s gubernatorial nominee, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson.

The CNN article focuses on unsavory comments Robinson made in several online chatrooms, according to sources familiar with the material.

If what I’m hearing is correct, this story will nuke Robinson’s already dwindling chances of flipping termed-out Democratic governor Roy Cooper’s seat. Today is the drop-out deadline in North Carolina, though ballots are already being printed. …”

Can the NCGOP get someone else on the ballot at this point? Other than a write in basis?

Nope. But they can name a new candidate who will be the recipient of all of the votes marked for Robinson once he drops out.

I'm calling BS on the Nazism thing. My (uninformed) opinion is that this is put out by his own campaign, so that when the story drops they can say "see, it was just sex and not Nazism like those lying liberals were trying to say".

I could be wrong. Could also be his campaign trying to get out ahead of some actual damaging online comments.

I do think that the fact that the source for the tweet was his own campaign speaks volumes in and of itself.
