It is not the Democrats that are trying to get Mark Robinson out of the race in NC...

[kentuck]

They could not find a better candidate to run against.

Rather, it is the national Republicans that are fearful of losing everything, the House, Senate, and White House, if they lose North Carolina.

And the Republicans are not really concerned about what Robinson said or that he visited a porn shop.

They see he is a loser. And they are ready to dump him. They do not believe he can win.

It is as simple as that.

1. But he will not leave.................

apparently with GQP support.

2. They have only a couple of hours to get it done. Nt

3. yep and i'm guessing he's going to get paid to drop out

he knows they have a lot of money, i bet he's holding out for as much as he can get. Conservatism is a big grift.

[kentuck]

4. If he drops out...

I would agree money was in the equation.

5. I keep hearing he can't drop bc the ballots have already gone out and the deadline for withdrawl has expired.

But we're also hearing Trumps camp is pressuring for him to drop out so his taint doesn't infect Mango's anus. So who knows?

10. Ballots to be mailed Friday (today), after being reprinted once already for RFK Jr dropping out.

This would have meant reprinting ballots AGAIN, delaying them for a week or more. The military overseas wouldn't get them in time for them to be mailed back, most likely.

The Republicans are showing their usual manic fuckery, but Robinson isn't playing ball. I think they meant for him to drop out just to delay mail-in ballots so they wouldn't be counted.

Now they're stuck with him. Buyer's remorse, idiots.

6. Could this finally be the glorious moment the GOP rightfully destroys itself?

7. It would be a good first step. Nt

8. I'm personally waiting for the GOP to douse "gasoline" on each other ...

... in North Carolina and then light matches. I've been waiting for more than 50 years for this immolation. Looks like it is happening this election cycle -- good riddance Know Nothing Party!

9. It would probably be better in general if a self declared nazi was not a major party candidate

…but everything inside me is telling me he is just so outrageously unelectable that there is no downside to his staying in. Basically: This simply isn’t 2016.
