Omg he's denying he said the things reported in the CNN article even though they are 100% on brand for him

What agenda? To own the libs?

Oh is the comment about Tr**y p*rn what made him drop out? I’m so confused. I would think all these comments are ok for MAGA? Where’s the controversy?

Thursday evening is the NC state deadline to withdraw from the race. The deadline to remove Robinson’s name from the ballot already has passed. There are just four weeks to go until early voting, and absentee ballots are due to go in the mail (tomorrow) Friday.

According to the sources, the campaign of Attorney General Josh Stein, Robinson’s opponent in the race for North Carolina’s Executive Mansion, leaked the story to CNN and local Raleigh news outlet, WRAL. It is expected to hit airwaves later on Thursday.

Also according to the anonymous source, earlier this week leaders in the Trump campaign privately told Robinson that he was not welcome at rallies for Trump or vice presidential candidate JD Vance. He was slated to speak at the Vance appearance on Wednesday, but his office announced that Robinson had tested positive for COVID.

This is OP - and I think if this were a Dem leak, they'd have waited until tomorrow to drop it. Why risk having a better candidate come in to take his place? Today he can still drop out - tomorrow it's too late. I think this comes from nervous Rs who don't like how he's polling.

Maybe Stein's campaign leaked it to CNN under the condition that they wait until Friday to release the story. CNN has been very friendly to GOP folks this cycle, giving them lots of airtime and cultivating better relationships with GOP in DC. CNN may have unilaterally decided to move early before the deadline.

But why the urgency to drop out today if it’s already too late to remove Robinson’s name from the ballots?

Robinson's replacement would get any votes for "Mark Robinson" on the ballot, plus any write-in votes, if replaced today by the NC GOP. It's easier to replace the candidate than mount a write-in campaign.

Okay thanks. I guess we’ll see if he’s willing to fall on his sword for the party.

He’s MAGA on steroids. So, good luck with that. They don’t fall on their swords for the good of anyone else.

But hey— we get a turnout boost in states like FL and AZ because of abortion being on the ballot. Would LOVE if R turnout was depressed and D turnout was juiced because of this guy. 1% could make the difference. And MAGA so completely deserves to lose NC, and the election because of a monster they created. Hard to se Trump losing NC and winning the EC.

As an aside, I grew up in rural NC and moved from there to the DMV in 2006 at age 32. I have no illusions of what rural NC is. But even given my background, I’m gobsmacked that Rs nominated this guy. Or maybe not. I’ve had to do a lot of muting and unfollowing of low information voters (people I went to HS with who never got education beyond HS or left the small town we grew up in) and my parents 70 something friends this election cycle. The rhetoric from them on FB is so bad. These people do believe the illegal aliens in Springfield are eating pets and want to do terrible thing to them and posting things of the inciting violence variety. Etc. It’s surprising me, because I made it through 2016 and 2020 and the insurrection with these FB friends. I didn’t agree with my politics, but it didn’t cross into “I just can’t deal with you, good bye” territory until recently. My tolerance for/ understand of having a different political positions is pretty high. But not calls for violence against legal immigrants (and in some cases women) high.

WTF is going on NC? A significant % of your population is really ugly, divisive, and in some cases, IMO, evil. DH and I are finally in a 2 teleworker setup with kids out of HS and we’re looking at selling the house in the ridiculously expensive FCPS district and moving Asheville this summer. Emphasis on were. We are really re-thinking moving to a state that seems to be headed in the direction of FL.

Is the fact NC is the closest “abortion state” for the South driving this? Or what?

What are the odds he drops out?

This website says it involves activity on adult websites in the 2000s.

How is this a disqualifier for the GOP?

The only thing I can think of that would just qualify him would be if he went against Trump.

Or caused NC to tip to Harris. It’s possible. NC looks as red as it does because it is incredibly gerrymandered. It does vote for Dems statewide sometimes. If Mac goes for Harris, does Trump have a path to winning. Because there is a second thing that could disqualify him— if he causes Trump to lose the election.

Zero. It will play to the base. They’re these things too.

Stein is up +6, so I think he should stay in.

I'm OP here and ha no, no no no, that is not me whining about the unfair treatment of Republicans

DP. I think PP is referring to a different, current thread in this forum: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1228192.page
