Trump has a problem following reports about Robinson’s comments identifying as a “black NAZI” and supporting slavery, as well as his Ashley Madison account.

      The only thing MAGAs might dislike about him is that he is black.

        Yes, but he also gives them an excuse, “See, even decent black people know we’re right!”

      Too blatant. He said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.

    He was already polling poorly and while it’s basically tied in the polling, it’s 47-47 and Trump won the state by a point in 2020 so the undecideds probably lean his way.

    I tend to think a scandal of some other person can’t hurt a presidential campaign that much, mostly just enthusiasm. So no, I don’t think it will tank the Trump Campaign.

    Gut says it moves from toss-up leaning Trump to true 50/50 toss-up.

    Logic and decency says it SHOULD, but we all know where we’re at with all that.

    If he’s got an R next to his name, they’ll vote for him.

      Republicans have performed poorly in the NC gubernatorial race over the last 30+ years, winning once.

      Council of State and elections to the legislature have been successful for them, though

      I think this dude is actually going to make some Republicans not turn out.

      His statements actually are still shocking, even after a decade of Trump.

    revelations are quite fitting for the R badge, so nothing changes there

    That’s like asking conservatives to place facts and logic ahead of rethoric and idol worship. Good luck with that.

      You are not going to easily convert a hardcore Republican, but a lot of undecided voters do not follow politics closely. Having the Republican describing himself as a Nazi is about as clear as it can get, which will convice a lot of them to vote blue. It is also a good way of bringing people who would vote Democrat to actually vote.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
