NC Governors race.
If you follow politics at all, you know that late last week a bunch of allegations came out against Mark Robinson, the current Lt Governor of NC who is running for governor against NC Attorney General Josh Stein. I won’t repeat the allegations, but if you want to know what they are they are easy enough to find.
Given that Stein has pretty much been in the lead of this race all cycle, it’s interesting, to me anyway, that these allegations are being thrown out there. October surprises are nothing new in Politics, they are a tradition, throw something bad out about your opponent late in the cycle that they won’t have time to react and recover from in hopes of winning the election.
....
If I were in North Carolina, I’d still vote for him. These allegations are relatively old and it’s porn. He said some stupid stuff in the Chatroom probably to get a raze out of the other posters. Has his performance as Lieutenant Governor given anybody pause in voting for him? That’s really what matters. How he’s doing in his current job and his vision for the next four years in North Carolina. Unfortunately, he will lose because voters are reactive and emotional.
NEVER understood ticket splitters.
KY is a ruby red state. I have friends who live there, and they were disgusted at the number of single republican women who gushed about how 'good looking' Andy Beshear was and voted for him as governor. This guy had the police writing down license plate numbers of worshipers during covid who were holding church services outdoors. But he's 'good looking.'
Ticket splitters are idiots.
I sure hope the people of NC recognize what is at stake here.
I don’t trust CNN. PERIOD. They’ve lied about all sorts of things why believe them now. And if this were a Dem, it would be a resume enhancement. The Left doesn’t care who it destroys and has zero remorse for the destruction they cause.
I’m in NC and actively working to get Robinson and all of our GOP candidates elected.
Our Governor controls the Board of Elections here in NC. Another reason they don’t want Robinson in office.
Mark just needs to stand strong, the people KNOW this stinking playbook and it WILL NOT WORK, it didn’t work with Trump and it will no longer work with Mark!! The people have had ENOUGH of the media propaganda, MOST no longer believe a damn word they say!!
Robinson refuses help to discredit CNN:
And, here is the story about the porn shop Robinson frequented:
He needs to drop out and let Dan Forrest step in. The ballots will not change, but votes cast for Robinson will accrue to his repalcement.
This kind of utter BS just may help Mark people are just SICK TO DEATH OF THIS CRAP!!!
NO Mark should NOT step down, NONE of these people are saints AND MOST are having sex with kids for crying out loud, STAY STRONG MARK!! I hope this BS backfires BIG TIME!!
I can’t speak for anyone other than myself and I don’t vote in NC.
Honestly, of the allegations I saw, I wouldn’t care about much of what I have seen reported. But I’m not a NC voter.
OF Course I didn’t care about the “scandal” that took out the guy they burned to make a lane for OBama to be the Senator for Il.
The “scandal” was they guy was married to Jeri Ryan and during their divorse she testified he took her, or wanted to take her to a swingers club so other people could watch them have sex.
That’s it.. that was enough for the guy to be run out of town...A guy, married to one of the hottest chicks on the planet at the time, dared to want to go to sex club to have sex with his wife.
Not my cup of tea, but that’s what passed for a republican sex scandal in the 90s.. enough so that the guy dropped out of the race.
High Tech Lynching by the DNC. Clarence Thomas fought back immediately, fought hard and won. I watched Trump’s rally this last weekend in NC. Major let down on any support.
We shall see...
From what I have seen, none of this even if true, it utterly scandalous... I’d really like the see the context of the “I’m a black nazi” post.. my guess would be he said it sarcastically or satirically in reference to him being a black conservative or republican.
I have no idea what will happen with this. Polling has shown him down consistently by 5 or more, so unless something was about to seriously shake up the race, odds were not in his favor so its odd something like this was put out.
Certainly looks like someone wants to destroy him, and its more than simply part of the governor’s race. Could be the lavender mafia doesn’t want anyone who doesn’t tow the trans line to ever have a platform.
I dunno, if it does turn out to be false, and verifiably false, then it could backfire big time, since he could play the victim of a vicious racist assault. I suspect its probably true, at least some of it... but I doubt highly the public will ever see the full context of what they claim they have found...
Guess we will see what happens.
Trump is wise to let this calm down before he steps into this fray. Maybe that’s why they did it, to try to get Trump to jump in.. because they would love to paint him with this stuff.
We’ll see what happens.
Well I honestly could care less is someone visited porn shops... I know some will not feel that way, at least in public, but I doubt highly the majority of people can say they never watched or rented porn.
As the the denial to have folks help investigate, so far the reports are anonymous, and denied by the campaign.
My gut is the guy probably did some of this stuff, but I’d really like to see the context... especially the black nazi comment, because that to me I am guessing was probably a sacastic comment about being a black conservative or Republican...... I’d love to see the full context of that one.
Gotta love a republican sex scandal they are hillariously stupid most of the time. Last big one I remember was the on e where they took out the GOP Senator so they could clear a path for Obama...
The scandal was beyond comical... ex wife (Jeri Ryan) alledged he wanted (or did take her, I can’t remember which)( to a sex club so they could have sex with each other while others watched....
Yep, the sex scandal that took him out of the running was he dared to want to take his hot wife to a sex club AND HAVE SEX WITH HER....
Thomas was also after them destroying Bork, so the party machinery was not going to let that happen again, they got caught flat footed with Bork.
BREAKING: Mark Robinson has been activated. He just said he's "Coming After CNN Full Throttle" for creating a hoax to lynch his historic campaign for governor
He's reacting by going on offense instead of letting the lies flourish
"Everything is up to legal counsel to take CNN to task for what they have done to us. We are going to go after them."People forget that Robinson ran for Lieutenant Governor and WON with no problems. Then, out of nowhere, they "discover" messages he allegedly sent long ago, right before the election. It feels like an obvious plot by the Uniparty to take him out because it is.
Any Republican asking him to step down is a piece of feces. If Robinson is such an unpopular candidate as the pollsters claim, why are they coming after him with everything they've got? It's because he has a huge chance of winning and becoming another DeSantis-esque governor and turning the state permanently red through his policies.

The allegations are not about the Governor race, they’re about the Presidential race. Conservative voter suppression. NC will be closer than it should be.
Like I said we will see how this plays out.
If it is completely false, and they can prove it, it could backfire big time...
Which kind of adds to the timing question as well.. this coming out friday before they election no time to do much... there are still 6 weeks or so to the election date... won’t get in a court room in that time, but there is time to react and respond to it.
We will see how this plays out.
I highly doubt that. I don’t see one single solitary person who is committed to Trump not voting because o f anything going on in any local race... anywhere.
