Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, reportedly watched porn in private booths up to five days a week in the ’90s. He strenuously denies that as well as the Holocaust. https://t.co/C3P4jT3bMv

 

 

That's it? Expected a lot more from the GOP.

Edit: nevermind, that's not the big news story, that's from a couple weeks ago.

1. This is technically a voting right rally, not an Allred rally.

2. Gary Peters (DSCC Chair) was on TV recently talking up TX and FL.  Both these races are attempts to salvage a Senate majority if Tester loses. (see #4)

3. Senate Dem incumbents in WI and PA and NV look in good shape - shit, the GOP isn't even investing any money downballot in Nevada anymore.  Gallego is flush with money, running against maybe the worst swing state GOP Senate nominee, and Brown is doing what he needs to do in Ohio - I don't think Moreno has led a single poll.  Scholten has lead in every poll in MI and I don't see the GOP or Trump even making big moves there - they're really all in on PA, GA, NC right now. 

4. Tester is in trouble, but we said the same thing about Susan Collins (ugh) and she won in 2020 - she and Tester are big ass brands in low-population states where retail politics wins.  So hard to count him out.

5. There's a shit ton of money to throw nominally at TX and FL to see what happens. 

6. Fuck Ted Cruz, and even Trump's campaign manager is sounding the alarm that something stinks with the Cruz campaign.

Don't forget Tester's political superpower: being a big ol' boy.

RE: Robinson in NC, this feels like a NCGOP hail Mary to get him off the ballot. The governorship is lost. They are just trying to stop it from taking down Trump too. If Robinson is off the ballot, they are betting a lot of folks stay home that were only going to vote against him and Trump while they were at it.

I think it’s entirely too late to remove him, but he can be replaced and any votes for him go to the replacement. That is entirely too confusing for moronic voters

Some major drama is shaking out in NC's gubernatorial race. Sources tell me a CNN story is forthcoming. Robinson's two campaign events today in Vance and Warren counties have been cancelled. Robinson's closest advisers & Robinson himself aren't taking my calls for comment. #ncpol

Honestly can't even begin to speculate what could be worse than the endless Robinson information already out there.

the premise of an impending "damning news story" about *Mark Robinson* is insane because he's already openly a Holocaust denier who paid for someone's abortion so you really wonder what the straw that broke the camel's back is going to be...... https://t.co/c2iTPv5cdm

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/huge-story-about-to-drop-on-mark-robinson/

Quote

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. Robinson spokesman Michael Lonergan tells National Review it’s “complete fiction” that the lieutenant governor will drop out of the governor’s race.

Reminder that Republicans have long worried about this exact scenario playing out. That roster of concerned Republicans includes North Carolina senator Thom Tillis, who endorsed one of Robinson’s primary challengers back in December in an interview with NR.

Here’s some of my reporting from January 2023 in The Dispatch:

North Carolina Republicans continue to feel uneasy about their party’s current gubernatorial frontrunner, firebrand Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. But no coherent strategy yet exists to knock him out in a primary.

Those with concerns about Robinson fear his controversial views, as well as his checkered personal and campaign finance history, will alienate suburban and independent voters in 2024 as Republicans try to flip the the gubernatorial seat of term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper.

And many Republicans know Democrats have amassed an opposition research file that could be leaked at any time. Even Robinson seems worried about more potentially damaging revelations.

“I know there’s probably a lot of stuff out there swirling around …People are trying to put doubt in the air about our campaign, about me, but none of that stuff is true, I guarantee you,” Robinson said in a voicemail he left for a prospective Republican donor on Thursday, obtained by The Dispatch. “We’re ready to take this challenge on. And I believe that we are the candidate.”

This story has been updated.

Cruz is vulnerable. Tossing a bit of time and money Allred's way isn't a bad investment as long as it's not at the expense of other races. 

And this. I don't think people really understand the advantages the Democrats have this cycle in money and infrastructure. 

Also, spending a bit of time and money here can help build for future races.

Nah, feels like the undecided voters will all move towards Kamala at the end.  Why? Because she's more liked.  Independents will gravitate to the more likable candidate. 

Say what you want about Trump, but he was the more positively viewed candidate in 2016 and all the late deciders ended up picking him over Hillary.  God she was awful.  

This.  CNN wants Trump to win bc eyeballs.  That's why Fox wants her to win.

I think it depends on which Murdoch gets Fox. Right now, Rupert is in court trying to give it to Lachlan so it stays radical right wing. If James gets Fox, he’s already said he’s taking Fox News back to being moderate. 

Personally, I’ve been surprised at some of the “positive” news they’ve given Harris lately and how they’ve been fact checking turnip a lot more.

I'm unfamiliar with any of this...there's a battle for control of Fox? Lachlan has always been Rupert's boy, why is this even in question? Is there some kind of push from the board or something?

Seriously.   The concept "would be completely unacceptable for GQP voters" does not exist, with one exception: "He's running as a democrat."  That's it.  That's the only thing that loses GQP support.

Being a scumbag piece of shit is a feature, not a bug, AND GQP VOTERS LOVE IT BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW POWERFUL THEY ARE.  They can force the people to be governed by a scumbag piece of shit, and there's nothing you can do to stop us!

#35922

The NC candidate supposedly being an avowed and confirmed Holocaust denier and now there's information supposedly about to drop that he referred to himself a Nazi does nothing for me. It's the same damn thing. But here we are. Taniel is very legit, founder of Bolts Magazine, very active political and poll analyst. https://businessnc.com/upcoming-cnn-story-has-robinson-on-defense/  (edit - he's also one of the best follows on any election night)

That’s just a warning shot.  People don’t go to those places to just watch porn, especially in the age of the intardnet when you can watch all the porn you want for free at home.

Yes, trial in Las Vegas just underway. Rupert wants to bust the family trust and give Fox to Lachlan. The two offspring (son and daughter) are suing because he shouldn't legally be able to bust the Trust.

Exactly.  I'm starting to think you could catch them in bed with a live boy and the gqp would just shrug and say, "Well, Imma Christian so I believe in redemption.  Also, he's our guy."

I cannot fathom the trauma Mark Robinson has that makes him hate so much including his own people. 

Like that trauma is bad bad. Sure, he was probably called the n word a few times when he was younger like we all have but it has to be worse than just that.

You see, the left is SO EVIL, that it doesn't matter how evil team (R) is. That's the fun part. There could be verified video of Trump and Vance murdering children and laughing while they do it, and the vast majority of their supporters would say "Still better than voting for a democrat!".

You have an actual tweet above saying in plain terms that violating one of the Ten Commandments (you know, the "laws" that are so important that we need to REQUIRE that they be posted in all our schools) is okay if that violation is in service of GQP electoral goals.

They.  Have.  No.  Moral.  Limits.  None. 

As for it being a "scandal" that a Republican called himself a nazi....WTF?  Again, that's a fucking PLUS, not a negative, to GQP voters.
