Mark Robinson may be about to go though some things

[AuroraHawk]

Bingo. This isn't terribly difficult to grasp but apparently so above.

Look … I really don’t like DT Barnum. He’s a stain on our country.

That written, I have a hard time believing that there are any significant number of voters who will not go to the polls on voting day because they dislike Robinson and, thus, significantly impair DT Barnum’s chances in NC.

DT Barnum isn’t riding Robinson’s coattails … if anything, it’s the other way. Robinson benefits from DT Barnum’s candidacy.

Does it help him? Absolutely not.
Is it a “disaster” for him? I’m very dubious of any such claim.

At least based on the few hardcore trumpers I know well, there is really nothing that would mean they wouldn't vote for him. They say Robinson "has nothing to do with Trump" and "he doesn't know anything about Project 2025, that is all made up by the left" and "Loomer lied to get into his camp, he realized she is crazy and got rid of her." They think he won debate even, or a couple say Kamala had an earpiece in giving her answers.

But that’s the point. We have a ridiculously low voter turnout rate even when turnout is high. People find all kinds of reasons not to vote. Anyone who is a “hardcore trumper” isn’t staying home - they’re hardcore. Nobody is saying all GOP voters will stay home now, obviously that’s not true, but will the lack of a legitimate gubernatorial race mean some stay home who would have pulled the Trump lever? It’s certainly possible. All of this stuff with Robertson certainly isn’t going to gain Trump any additional votes. Maybe it’ll be a nothing, but it could hurt him a little….and a little might be enough if the race is close.

"Shame Is Dead" should be the new GOP motto.

The mental gymnastics it takes for his supporters to justify their support is staggering.

There has been decent reporting and polling that suggests they really aren't pretending that they care about ethics and values anymore, it is all justified by the outsized power they wield. They aren't interested in giving that up over a rapist with 34 felony convictions and massive civil judgements against him.

Trump is in NC again, and again no Mark Robinson. He's cut out the man he vigorously supported. If anything I assume this helps Trump. Robinson is going to lose, but it's one more notch in the victim belt for the MAGAs. "They are attacking Trump because of what this guy he doesn't even know said"!

They should take her for her word and not allow her to vote, since it wont bother her.

So, Robinson was treated for 2nd degree burns after leaning up against a truck?

They have reservations about voting for an alleged porn pervert, but can’t wait to vote for Donald Trump?

Makes sense.

There is a significant percentage of Republicans that do not like Trump but will vote for him simply because he's a Republican. They really need something to pull them to the polls and, after Trump in NC, that's the governor's race. Robinson is not going to do that...the folks who don't like Trump but will vote for him anyway are repulsed by Robinson. This will definitely affect the GOP turnout and, as close as NC is, it wouldn't take much.

Probably ingested too much of his sister-in-law's urine and Santorum.

Down 15 points in the polls now. Still way too close .

There are a LOT of very stupid people in NC who would vote for Hitler if he had an R after his name.

Actually, there are a number of people in NC who would vote for Hitler, period.

LOL at McCrory. I saw him in Lib TV when the latest scandal broke saying it was probably a media creation, and you really had to wonder about the timing. He's also a Trumper. The fact that this campaign is within 15 points is sad and pathetic.
