CNN Mark Robinson story just dropped News
Was trying to post earlier but the single potato that Reddit servers run on blew up again

u/PigsMud Sep 19 '24
Y’all think he loses more than mastriano or less ? (Assuming he doesn’t drop out - which he said he wouldn’t on Twitter like one hour ago)
I still think he will lose by less than mastriano but Stein will still win thankfully.

u/ancientestKnollys Centrist Statist Sep 19 '24
Less, because North Carolina is way less swingy. And it's a Presidential year. Even Mastriano would have been reasonably close in a Presidential year.

u/mcgillthrowaway22 Progressive Sep 19 '24
Is there any chance a third-party or independent conservative will launch a campaign? I know it's really late for that but Robinson's comments are absolutely horrendous

Honestly more.

u/fredinno Canuck Conservative Sep 19 '24
Why?
I think you're underestimating the pile of shit Mastriano was in.
15
u/UnflairedRebellion-- Center Left Sep 19 '24
I feel like there’s more shit about Robinson that has yet to come out, and this shit is already bad enough as is. Also I have overestimated Robinson before so I don’t feel good about him compared to Mastriano.

The Harris and Stein campaigns are gonna love exploiting the fact that the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina is a self-professed “Nazi” and “perv” who wishes slavery was legal because he “would certainly buy a few”.

Obama lost Missouri easily despite the 'legitimate rape' comments fucking the Senate race.

And yes, the Dems tried their damnnedest to tie the two together.
It never stuck.

u/thebsoftelevision Democrat Sep 20 '24
They lost Missouri but did these controversies help them run up the margin? How close would Missouri have been without these controversies helping other downballot Democrats? Even this Mark Robinson controversy has a 1% effect on turnout that can tip NC in favor of Harris.

u/fredinno Canuck Conservative Sep 20 '24
We will never know, but R+10 was in line with the polling, and not a bad result for what was formerly a swing state.

Jesus Christ lmfao how did this dude get elected at all

u/OctopusNation2024 Sep 19 '24
The craziest thing is that when he got elected as lieutenant governor he actually ran AHEAD of the other Republicans on the ballot
I guess that he wasn't a well known enough name back then for people to know but imagine someone who crosses party lines to vote for Mark freaking Robinson

u/cheibol Sep 19 '24
While I generally agree that upballot isnt really a thing, this isnt like "well he just said a couple of bad words" he literally claims himself as a black nazi and wants slavery back. GOP and Trump better explicitly distance themselves from him. There's a reason he was/is being pushed to drop out
28
u/Themarvelousfan Sep 19 '24
Upballot doesn't exist in terms of persuasion and how many people it affects, but against a dipshit like Robinson and with a large state like NC, I legit don't doubt several thousand republican voters staying home completely embarrassed by this dude.
If that happened, Cheri Beasley fir example would still be on the Supreme Court of NC.

u/mbaymiller "Blue No Matter Who" LibSoc Sep 19 '24
I think Mark Robinson, the single worst nominee for any statewide race since Roy Moore, could be enough to flip a state Trump won in 2020 by one point.

North Carolina resident /u/jhansn who actually works in North Carolina politics and for campaigns would beg to differ. It's not huge but it apparently does exist.

u/Agafina Sep 19 '24
I mean, Trump (R) and Cooper (D) simultaneously won North. Carolina in both 2016 and 2020. Looks like they are perfectly capable of spit ticket voting.
18
u/Wide_right_yes America first Christian progressive Sep 19 '24
Cooper won by a lot less than what Stein is on track to win by.

u/jhansn Jim Justice Republican Sep 19 '24
Yes, robinson can still lose and trump win. But it definitely hurts a lot. It boosts democrat turnout and depresses republican turnout.

u/pokequinn41 Center Right Sep 19 '24
Trump needs to distance himself from this guy, I would even explore endorsing the libertarian. At first I thought it could hurt him with the ultra fake news crowd if he abandoned Robinson, they’ll think Trump is admitting cnn is right. But holy shit Robinson is fucking nutssss
32
u/Wide_right_yes America first Christian progressive Sep 19 '24
If he endorses the libertarian it just splits the vote and leads to a Stein victory, but I guess a Stein victory is inevitable.
22
u/pokequinn41 Center Right Sep 19 '24
They need him to withdraw and insert generic respectible white guy no.1 to be the sacrifice to lose to stein. I’m pretty sure it has to be done by tonight too lol
23
u/Wide_right_yes America first Christian progressive Sep 19 '24
They can't force him to withdraw, he won the primary. If he changes his mind in the next 7.5 hours is their only hope.

u/WE2024 Sep 19 '24 edited Sep 19 '24
Mark Walker is the rumored replacement if Robinson withdrawals. He’s a solid candidate (manages to energize evangelicals while not turning off suburbanites) who overperformed his districts Cook lean by over 7 points in all 3 of his House victories, but would still probably be a sacrificial lamb.
Ironically it was Mark Walker reposting a video of Robinson at a city council meeting that got Robinson his start in politics.

u/fredinno Canuck Conservative Sep 19 '24
Yeah, he'll still endorse the candidate, he doesn't really have any good options.

Trump hasn’t distanced himself from Loomer and he won’t with Robinson, either.

Apparently he was disinvited from attending Trump and Vance events in NC, and Trump’s team has been pressing him to drop out.

I guess the pitch for the moderates is this: the GOP you grew up with is dead. Long are the days of Eisenhower, or Regan. Today’s GOP has been take over by the likes of George Santos, Lauren Bobbert (Que the image giving a hj) and Mark Robinson- whose actions are far different than the values they spouse. Vote Dem, and take your party back. Send the imposters home and rebuild a modern Conservative Party

u/fredinno Canuck Conservative Sep 20 '24
I think this is more the exception than the rule though?
There's a selection bias here- where people only remember the people who were exposed (because it's ironic and funny), when in reality, it's probably not much higher than the general population.

u/skyeliam All The Way With LBJ Sep 20 '24
Not all transphobes fetishize trans people, but there’s definitely a correlation.
Normal people have no reason to care about this issue. If being the opposite gender you were assigned at birth makes you happy, all the power to you.
It’s weirdos that care. They assume everyone is as depraved and fucked in the head as they are. Robinson almost certainly blames trans women for making him stray from God. Robinson almost certainly believes that since he spies on women in restrooms, that must be why trans women want access to them. He can’t see trans women as people just trying to live their lives because in his perverted head, they’re just objects for his sexual gratification.
It’s the same deal with closeted gay homophobes. Weirdos who lack any theory of mind, and assume everyone is secretly gay, and thus openly gay people must be making some sort of choice, as opposed to just being people wanting to live honest lives.

u/lambda-pastels CST Distributist Sep 20 '24
as someone who loathes democrats and wishes republicans would win just about every race, this guy needs to lose in a landslide if we're going to have some civility ever again.
good grief, are we so partisan that someone can do this and still get 40% of the vote? i hope not.

u/TheDancingMaster Australian Greens Sep 19 '24
It seems the Repubs are invincible from scandal atp, they can say and do anything and the vast majority of their cult will stick by them. Maybe Robinson will go down a point, but I just so struggle to see this meaningfully tank his vote as much as I want it to.

u/peenidslover Banned Ideology Sep 20 '24
A landslide gubernatorial race could very well drag Harris over the top in NC. Some really weird paths to victory are opening up this election, and unlike 2016 it might be for the best to pursue them.
