I go directly to the midget category and cut to the chase. Wasn’t even aware they have a chat function.
It was depressing walking around a local small town while going to yard sales this morning. At least 2 dozen Trump signs. Small town Iowa is so messed up in the way they think politically.
I drove all around NW Iowa today and was pleasantly surprised to see only one Trump sign. Doesn’t mean people aren’t voting for him obviously but the shine is definitely off.
I live in NC also and tarhellbybirth is correct;
He'S FIgHtINg fOr ME!!!
And, let's all be honest as long time Iowans, the racism really plays well in rural Iowa, especially as this state browns up a little.
It's strange to me that NC elects governor and lieutenant governors on separate tickets. Like POTUS/VP pre-12 Amendment. I imagine that causes some interesting political maneuvering.
Wasn’t it Idaho that had weird shenanigans couple years back with the far-right LT and more moderate Gov because the LT became temporary governor when the elected guy left the state?
Yes, Idaho allows the LG to act as Gov when the Gov is out of state. The LG did something with some Covid regulations.
I think it’s rural America generally.
I am a small part of that community and it makes me disgusted. Pro rapist and conman.
Thankfully, i believe Iowa will play a small role in this election. The big 6 will be the difference.
Thats a lot of change in a small window considering it's just a Dem smear campaign <per him>.
Important to note that people like this are not doing this for moral reasons. They are paid to win elections. They know they won’t win so they’ll go find somewhere they can be on a winning team.
I guess the racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic stuff wasn’t enough to step away earlier, but this is just a bridge too far!
He hired Phenomenally Frantastic?
It certainly doesn't help DT Barnum's efforts in NC but I'm struggling to conclude either (1) Robinson's demise equates to DT Barnum's demise; and/or (2) those who would've otherewise voted for Robinson are now going to forgo voting for DT Barnum.
Don't get me wrong. The "overall" impact likely helps Harris but calling it a "disaster" is likely an overreaction.
The point may have been made over and over already in this thread, but if Robinson is beyond the pale even for many Republicans than why the hell isn't Donald Trump beyond the pale? Convicted criminal, rapist, attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States, the charity, Trump University, on and on and on.....
I think the point is that there was a lot of motivation in the NC GOP to re-take the Governor’s office and I think there would have been a lot of motivated voters to get out and vote for Robinson. Certainly almost nobody who loved Robinson’s profile is going to vote Harris, but I think there’s a very real fear that the base will lose a lot of motivation to get out and vote with him being such a mess.
To be fair, we’ve seen countless times where the non-Trump candidate over or underperforms Trump by a wide margin.
Conventional wisdom would say this guys troubles would also hurt Trumps chances in Carolina, but that’s just been impossible to gauge with trump involved.
We’ll see how the turnout goes. This absolutely does not help Trump in any way. Maybe NC GOP will still pull enough turnout for the POTUS election, but we’ll see. It’s one thing to outperform (I think Robinson was always going to lose), but he’s so bad, some percentage may simply stay home.
And NC is a <2% state. It was going to be VERY close for Trump even with a competent GOP candidate for governor.
Are you going to be ok? I have a great therapist who has helped me with my depression.
They still swoon for Fat Elvis, but the cover band version isn't as good to their ears.
