"That 12 weeks, exceptions for rape and incest … I’m not going to say it’s reasonable."
And that he would prefer a "zero week" ban. But that they "have to start somewhere."
Should be one of the final nails in his coffin. What an idiot. Oh and he said this last week. In light of everything else it's almost astonishing.
What I'm really not understanding though are the NC people who say, "Robinson is too extreme but Trump the civilly liable and admitted serial sexual assaulter who has been solely responsible for Roe being overturned, this is a guy who I can give a pass to."
Who the f- are the ones not abiding Robinson but claim to stomach Trump? Good grief with the hypocrisy.
It doesn’t go much further than “I felt the economy was better with Trump so I’m going to brush aside or stomach the other insanity to get me back to it”.
For example, if Robinson were Governor (heaven help us) for the last 4 years and was running for re-election, these same voters would do exactly what they’re doing with Trump, with Robinson’s statements. It boils down to “I experienced their government and liked how much better the economy was” so everything else doesn’t matter to them. They’ll still vote for him, even with all the things they hate about the character of that man.
So it’s way easier to turn people off based from their terrible character for someone as a potential leader than it is for someone who’s already done the job. That’s why, as Harris team has smartly researched: Trump attacks don’t move the needle, everyone knows his character flaws, but positive agenda for her potential presidency does.
A candidate being unknown to them, makes them more susceptible to arguments of having terrible character flaws and makes them reconsider their party preference or person preference if there’s an attractive moderate democratic alternative. Most voters don’t want to rock the boat if things are going ok regardless of the party in charge.
Those are the Trump/Stein (AG) voters, which there will be plenty of in NC. They’re supporting Stein because they like how he did as Attorney General and feel he won’t be too far left, more moderate, in the vein of Cooper. Who they also like and would vote for again, if they could.
The media’s constant puffing up of the Trump economy as better than it was during his chaotic presidency has permanently etched this version of Trump’s presidency that never actually happened in a lot of people’s minds. They still have learned zippo since 2016 and are making the same predictable mistakes in 2024 by sanewashing a clearly insane man to the masses who is by far the worst version of himself in this election. He was bad before, but my god is he so, so much worse now.
That's exactly the issue. The one thing keeping Orange Slob alive is the fact that the majority of Americans pretend that COVID and the shutdown that came with it didn't happen. That and the fact as an anti tax country, people buy into the lie that in all cases "tax cuts stimulate the economy." Thus advantage, Republicans.

He’s going to make it easier for Josh Stein to win the NC-GOV race at the rate he’s going with his batshit crazy antics.
I’m having a hard time processing who is crazier:
Hershel Walker or Mark Robinson
Imo it's no contest; Robinson
