But that's got to be sad for the people who were hoping to use Mark Robinson's problems against anyone other than Mark Robinson.
I'm reading "Mark Robinson’s porn site scandal greeted with shrugs by some Trump backers/The revelations surrounding the N.C. gubernatorial candidate mark a test of voters’ tolerance for disturbing allegations in the Trump era" (WaPo).
Oh, it's not "tolerance." It's just withholding all support and letting him go.
Here, you can see the history of his polling. He wasn't going to win.

Didn't the Democrats show everyone that what a person does in their personal lives does not matter (i.e. the Bill Clinton Rule)? The left/Democrats/media should not be shocked when we start following their rules.
In an earlier time (JFK) one needed the media's help (wink, wink) to keep personal picadilloes under wraps. Ever since Teddy left that woman to drown and was still able to advanced in Congress the left showed they did not care. Now the right is "evolving" some on these same topics cause "we learned it from you".
As an aside, is any of it even true? The reports say they have traced the moniker to one used by Mark but has anything come out to "prove" it was Mark? Just asking for a friend...
Why do people on team R, with this kind of background, bother to run? Like it won't be found out?
For one thing - the left will lie about you anyway. If the past history true -that makes it worse. So stupid.
Only leftists are allowed scandal and bad past behavior.
Another stellar endorsement by Donald “Ballot Box Poison” Trump.
If not for Trump’s idiotic endorsements the GOP would have had 54 Senate Seats. The “American Recovery Act” a d the “Inflation Reduction Act” would never have seen the light of day.
I hold the Fat Tub of Goo personally responsible for Bideninflation.
Why do Republican voters nominate clowns like this. The one thing you can say for Democrats is that they play to win. Victory is secondary to a good number of Republicans.
He had to agree to run first. Why did he?
soon it will be" No I never met him maybe he took a picture with me.I never said THAT!
Trump wasn't responsible for Martha McSally being appointed to an AZ seat after she lost one senate race. That was Ducey. Trump wasn't responsible for Kelly Loefflers appointment to the senate seat from GA, that was Kemp. Those two cost the GOP the senate, along with the usual fecklessness of state party leadership.
In the case of Robinson, the man had won the lt gov race and was basically the highest ranking republican in the state. He was always a shoe-in for the nomination. The real question is why didn't anyone in the GOP find this out earlier? If Erick Rrickson is to be believed, there were plenty of rumors, and several people knew, but they all kept their mouths shut. That's on them.
Just note that if this candidate were a pro-abortion lefty, all these detractors (blog and otherwise)would be singing a different tune. That Robinson got endorsements BEFORE this was revealed is meaningless. Does he still get endorsements after, is the question. Look at Walz. Embraced before his scandalous behavior was revealed, aaaand still endorsed AFTER as well.
Lefties have no morals, Stop pretending that you do. We see right through you.
Kamala Harris has done sex acts on politicians - even married ones. This doesn't seem to be hurting her chances. I mean, when you don't have to actually win any elections, but still get the nomination anyway, that does help.
An action, an orientation, or promotion?
Did he abort a life, corrupt a life, or encourage others to follow?
Read what Mr. Wibble said. This isn't on Trump. The democrats are power-obsessed and corrupt. The GOP is a lazy mess. (not all - but most of it)
If Trump couldn’t give a flying fuck about downticket Republicans, why should anyone else?
Trump (or any candidate) is expected to endorse senate and house candidates - so that he has the numbers needed to perform his agenda.
University professors making porn fils: They're Progrssives so that's terrific !!!!!. Politician accused, without evidence, of some kind if porn site activity: OHMIGOD a Republican OHMIGOD.
It doesn't matter regarding Trump. Democrats and NeverTrumpers will not allow him to win even if they have to kill him. Fortunately for him, cover from the leftmediaswine has allowed them to become so shameless that they can cheat him out of a win openly. Corrupt and/or cowardly judges will do nothing. Republicans must win the Senate or we can expect the First and Second Amendments to be neutralized, the SCOTUS to be diluted and the filibuster to be eliminated. This is our last stand for freedom.
When you've gotten to the point of declaring you're a 'Black Nazi' on a porn site, you probably should not consider public office. At least not as a Republican (Democrats can still get away with whatever).
But I think the larger picture is that people are much more disturbed by this- at least the media is- than the idea of our FBI and a letter from dozens of national security experts told us that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation even when they knew that was completely untrue. It changed an election. And it put a non-entity in the position as President.
That should be of concern. Mark Robinson will be forgotten by Nov. 6, and never thought of again.
This. Every day - the left get away with lying and corruption. The grifters inside the FBI are as corrupt as the puppet masters and grifters in the D-party machine.
linked to the account of a porn site user who once argued for the reinstatement of slavery, detailed an affair with his wife’s sister, called himself a “black NAZI” and praised Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” as “a good read”?
Did the pornography normalize redistributive change, involuntary exploitation, friends with "benefits", a father showering with his daughter, a neighbor raping his neighbor's daughter, an illegal alien rape-raping his girlfriend's daughter, socialism, Diversity, abortion and sequestration of the "burden" of evidence, or other unseemly choices? Did he empathize with the site user?
"Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood" might have been a funny, devastating skit, but Eddie Murphy got there first.
Political parties get stuck in some unpleasant and uncomfortable situations. Nowadays, we never hear the end of it, especially if the embarrassing politician is a Republican. Perhaps there should be a vetting agency, organization, or group, but lately all such groups are likely to be suspected of having an agenda of their own.
It should be noted that all of AMDG's NeverTrump "heroes" vouched for Joe Biden as an "honorable man" even AFTER knowing biden showered with and sexualized his own adolescent daughter.
So at least we know what is acceptable and beyond the pale in NeverTrump Wannabe DeSantis Online Influencer world.
All the lefties braying like the asses they are about this, when they installed a non existent President who showered with his young daughter. Sit down, shut up, and leave the rest of us alone with your moral lowground.
Mark Robinson pressured by the GOP to step down because in 2009 he wasn’t racist enough online.
In a century, students will read about the Trump era and think to themselves how crazy people were in the before times.
What a strange throw away line, apropos of basically nothing.
The left is more disturbed by this, than by 2 assassination attempts on Trumps life by 2 guys who have ties to Government agencies. Funny since they brag about the sexual hijinks of their own, and cry that the rest of us are trying to stop them from murdering the babies they produce from those hijinks.
Is the scandal linked to Robinson, the site, or the progressive liberal orientation of one of its users? Has the user apologized and seeked rehabilitation?
“But I think the larger picture is that people are much more disturbed by this- at least the media is- than the idea of our FBI and a letter from dozens of national security experts told us that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation even when they knew that was completely untrue”
If you let your opponents smear your candidate with allegations that may or may not be true and don’t support your candidate then you eventually embolden your opponents to make up lies about your candidates.
A candidate making up silly names on a porn is a stupid reason to withdraw support from anyone.
How many people are linked to WaPo? NYT? Fox? DNC?
ALTHOUSE.BLOGSPOT.COM?
I'm with Drago here. I get a Democrat vibe from AMDG.
Agreed
Bingo!
Thats because the hardcore NeverTrump crew were always going to end up on Team Blue...and using their so-called "muh "conservative" "principles"' as the mechanism to get there.
Think of David French, Bill Kristol, etc.
Why would anyone believe the allegations against him? They are so absurd they sound like they were created by a bunch of trannies on Reddit to smear him because he says “mean things” about trannies and gays. So of course they fall back on their theory everyone is secretary gay and wants them sexually. It’s text book gay hate fantasy. It’s bizarre to me that anyone would take this at face value. Why? Because a porn site says so? lol. Sure, they’d never lie.
Posted this on the cafe post this morning....
Exactly how the media and the left has made us feel. Go to hell Progressives.
Lavern Spicer 🇺🇸
@lavern_spicer
Let me get this straight.
The party that has:
Rafael Warnock beating his wife and being a slum lord
Gay staffers making porno videos in the senate
Andrew Gillum getting caught in a motel room with a overdosed male prostitute
Tiffany Henyard stealing all her constituents money and bankrupting the township…
And Obama reportedly smoking crack and banging dudes at hotels…
…is gonna lecture me about some damn Mark Robinson posts from 100 years ago?
I don't fucking think so!
Whatever Mark Robinson did or didn’t do, Democrats invented and perfected it.
Shut the fuck up with that morality bullshit yall spewing.
Yall wouldn’t know it if it came up and bit you in the ass.

Joshua Kalla and David Brookman concluded that it was almost impossible to win over swing voters. It is just too hard to persuade voters to vote one way or the other. (The Minimal Persuasive Effects of Campaign Contact in General Elections: Evidence from 49 Field Experiments.) As a result, campaigns must focus on getting out their guys to vote.
The Trump assassination attempts will super incentivize Trump voters. But the NC governor's gross sexcapades will do the opposite.
Dyin for a black candidate is why.
Speech resulting in a conviction only in NYC and electoral abortion in a WaPo clinic. Is there more to this story than has been published? Is he a Democratic who identifies as a Republican? #NoJudgment #NoLabels
After all the losers that have tried to use Trump, you think they learned something from it. This is the 3rd time he’s running. Wtf?
WaPo undoubtedly paid someone a lot of money to confect that buttload of lies and gibberish. But then they paid someone else a lot of money to make it impossible for me to read it. Works for me.
My friend with a masters in cyber security says that there's a 70% chance those accounts were repurposed just like the California Uber driver. CNN exposing them just after the time to pull a candidate, tells me that it is all a scam. He has issues, but Republican squishes were proud to glom onto him after his powerful speech & quick to abandon him after the controversy.
Mr. Wibble - Trump actively suppressed the voting in the GA Senate runoffs in 2020. The shortage in Republican votes came specifically from heavy Trump areas. The reelection of Perdue and Loeffler would have made all the difference in the world. In this instance Trump put his wounded ego in front of the country’s best interests.
Was the "user" his, her, or its authentic selfie, a troll, or a doppelganger?
Drago - you have no idea who my heroes are but I know who yours is. Your Lord & Savior is big into tariffs. Tariffs, like wealth taxes and price controls, are policies put forth by cynical or ignorant politicians in order to attract the support of ignorant or stupid voters.
Michael K. I am not a Democrat. I am a conservative. In. November I will cast a straight Republican ticket, except for the Presidential line, whichI will leave blank. Candidates who endorse the termination of the Constitution are unfit for office.
I would venture a vast amount of people have Intentionally, by accident or out of curiosity clicked on a porn site. It takes a special effort to post on one.
The tRump Swabs will never get that the only thing that Trump cares about is Trump. There is no doubt that Trump would sellout people like Drago and the rest of the Trump Colon Cowboy Brigade if it would move a few more units of his stupid sneakers.
Trump does care about winning the Senate. Exhibit 1 is his endorsement of noted loser, Kari Lake. Now that seat is going to go to a full blown prog of the AOC variety.
I honestly haven't read much about this, and I don't trust Democrats and their repeaters as news sources.
Seems to me the fellow is guilty of Shitposting while Republican, ten years ago.
Yawn.
There is no better way of celebrating the diversity of our great nation than by a electing a Black Nazi. This man contains multitudes. As an added bonus, he openly celebrates his admiration of transsexuals. That's a step forward for transsexuals. He's the candidate of tolerance and diversity. Democrats who don't vote for him are just as bigoted as their KKK grandfathers.
The mindreading by the leftists, like AMDG, is always amusing.
Why couldn't Trump have endorsed another Martha McSally type? Or better yet, like Mitch McConnell, tossed $10M at a Murkowski type? Hey, I've got a great idea! You know who would make a great candidate at this moment of populist movements? Installing the wife of the chairman of the NY Stock Exchange to a Senate seat in Georgia!
"Smart", deeply thought out, inside the beltway sort of moves.....
Can your friend explain how these posts pre-date Robinson having a national (or at least statewide) profile?
Georgia and Pennsylvania last time, Arizona and North Carolina this time. At a minimum, that's FOUR Senate seats lost by Trump candidates that should have been won.
AMGD: you are absolutely right. That was a huge problem. And Steve Bannon was right in the middle of it. Also Jenny Beth Martin. Do not trust these people. They lost us the Senate.
I hold the Fat Tub of Goo personally responsible for Bideninflation.
Why wouldn't you hold the Biden administration and the congresspeople who voted for the laughably named "Inflation Recovery Act" responsible for Biden flatiron?
The soft bigotry of low expectations? "They're only Democrats, after all"?
And this is where Drago shows his total lack of intelligence. Drago, you will never see an election where all the winners adhere to your world view.
The question isn’t whether Kelly Loeffler or David Perdue should be in the Senate. The question is whether the country is better off with them in the Senate as opposed to Warnock and Ossoff. You prefer the latter and you call me a Democrat??? To quote Bugs Bunny, what a maroon. Reading your posts I have wondered if you are just ignorant or a retard. I now know.
But according to AMDG (I might have transposed some letters there but I have been outspoken in my irritation at Blogger's new comment format and don't want to have to scroll hither and yon to find out), Democrats' lack of moral sense is a feature, not a bug - they're in it to win it, which is all that matters, says AMDG.
If Blormf had anybody in his corner who wasn't an asskisser or yes-man they'd tell him to shut his pie hole about candidates in his party's primary elections. Trump's record is littered with kooks, idiots, backstabbers, & flakes who went down to defeat. Trump should let local voters pick candidates and STFU. Tendencies like this is why he can't put this election away.
Jaime - because if Trump had not suppressed the vote in the 2020 Georgia runoffs the Senate would have been 52-48 Republican instead of 50-50 and Biden’s awful legislation would have died before passage.
Then to top it off Trump endorsed Herschel Walker in 2022 thereby gifting a certain Republican victory to the Democrats.
More lefty stuff from AMDG Hmmmmmm.....
OK. That's enough for me to enroll AMDG in the lefty club.
Interesting point.
AMDG show his (hers?) lack of knowledge about Arizona elections.
Lefty Mark, our elections expert.
There was nothing wrong with lake walker and co, so lets start there
We nearly had a dem governer who was starked naked on his hotel floor
I read this shit and what pops into my head is, "Can we get back to governing on the basis of effective policy creation and execution?"
Kamala Harris is a freaking sitting executive running on absolutely none of her existing positions and execution.
Donald Trump is a former President running on basically his entire former position and execution + some updates on where he failed.
Trump sucked in the last debate and frankly made me like him less. But he remains a Policy & Polemics driven Politician.
"Drago, you will never see an election where all the winners adhere to your world view."
LOL
Uh, gee, thanks for that revelation.
But since we are here, lets have some fun with AMDG since he appears so gung ho. AMDG, give us the pro-side of why Kemp appointed Loeffler to the Senate seat in Georgia when there were established and stronger actual Georgian candidates, men and women, that would have been much more effective.
Then, after you've done that, give us Loeffler's history/background/upbringing (spoiler: nothing to do with Georgia...until she bought the WNBA franchise and hung out in Buckhead) and what impact that had on voter turnout in her election campaign.
Trump didn't change anyone, he gave them license, finally, to express their true selves. What else explains the stunningly rapid descent of the former Republican party? This is also about people, maybe nearly half the electorate, who have different moral standards.
The MAGA takeover of the GOP has been something to behold. Speaking out against it (from conservatives) is important.

PLOT TWIST: WAS OLIVIA NUZZI NUDE-BOMBING RFK JR? “For most of the next 8 months, Kennedy kept her blocked, except for a few occasions when Nuzzi contacted him from different emails and phone numbers, insisting he unblock her for urgent discussions about an imminent hit piece. Once unblocked, she bombarded him with increasingly pornographic photos and videos that he found difficult to resist. After brief exchanges, he would block her again.”

Look, I will vote for Trump. But I'm in the Ann Coulter cohort that he screwed up immigration reform and being tough on criminals (there is no non-violent crime, is my view). There are illegals here whom I love and care about. I still want and urge them to go home. They don't pay taxes. None of them. That's utter crap. They all have fake ID. They all steal or buy stolen social security numbers. All of them. They all get paid under the table, or in a Russian doll of subcontracting inside subcontracting, and everyone who is legal sees his or her income stability decline. I have worked in a lot in restaurants (screw Anthony Bourdain, who bragged about mainly hiring illegals) and construction, and also directly with refugees and immigrants, legal and illegal. I've heard the pain of men who have no more construction business to pass down to their children because of competition from illegals.
Ironically, Mr. Trump went to Washington and thought that, if he could handle NYC construction culture, he could handle federal government culture. He lost that bet. He better start earning the vote I'm giving him.
And I was offered a position in his campaign. He better start listening to people like me, or he will lose. Not my vote, but the election.
Mr. Wibble, Kelley Loeffler was a stellar junior conservative Senator. Bloody stellar. She took the issue of protecting free speech further than anyone. Principled, brilliant, and she sacrificed the thing she loved most, her basketball team, to become a Republican Senator. Perdue, whatever, but he generally voted right.
You know nothing about her legislative and political record, before, during, and after she was grotesquely deposed by grifters like Bannon and Jenny Beth Martin and a bunch of peroxided dumb bunnies in the GOPe and the Tea Party who thought like little girls. And their baby husbands.
Shes kind of an average bottle blond

A lot of phony attacks going around now. Here's one.
Tina, was that position like my invitation for dinner at Mar a Lago ?
So Bich thinks Trump "gave license" for two Democrats to shoot him. Interesting.
A stalker, like Freder.
Im not playing this game remember the fake blogspot they created for pelosis stalker
How about georgia tech the so called crowdstrike approved hack
I hold the Fat Tub of Goo personally responsible for Bideninflation.
That's because you're a fool.
I live in North Carolina and actually have the legal right to vote for or against Robinson for Governor, or for or against his Democrat opponent Josh Stein. I have no inside (or even outside) information about Robinson's (or Stein's) extracurricular behavior. But I am concerned that an awful lot of commenters here seem to be buying into the Democrats' propaganda without critical analysis.
I know from the political ads on my TV that Robinson admitted months ago -- months ago -- that he and his wife -- the Dems say she wasn't then his wife; I don't know -- had an abortion decades ago. THIS IS NOT NEWS to us in North Carolina. The Stein campaign ran an anti-Robinson ad several months ago in which Robinson was quoted as saying that an abortion wasn't justified just because "you couldn't keep your skirt down". In response to the pro-Stein ad, Robinson and his wife revealed that they had had an abortion; they didn't explain why. Now, for anti-abortion me, that might be a reason not to vote for Robinson if his opponent was sincerely anti-abortion, but if Stein is anti-abortion or has been running anti-abortion ads, my local TV network has not been carrying them.
But what IS clear is that the Democrats had a "case" against Robinson for months or years, most of which they "saved" until it was too late in the campaign for the Republicans to respond effectively.
Personally, I would like the the good people of North Carolina to elect a Black Republican governor. The Democrats' smears of Robinson don't persuade me to abandon that objective.
I have tried, not very hard, to understand the basis of the smear. It appears that somebody made some posts, using the name 'mark robinson', and use some of the phrases and sentence structures that Mark Robinson has used - and this is the basis of the allegation that it really was Mark Robinson, writing comments on a porn site as 'mark robinson'. In 2009. Have I missed anything important, like Mark Robinson admitting he was that 'mark robinson'?
I'm struggling to see how this has gotten traction when compared to actual, proven things that we've seen this year - so far.
I mean, let's face it: If you were looking to perform a character assassination on a colleague, or business competitor, or some other grudge target, you would go to a nasty porn site with a sheaf of their emails, and mine them for certain distinctive phrases and favorite words to use, assembling some really disgusting stuff, and signing their name to it. On a porn site. I just don't see how this has gotten traction without any kind of proof positive.
"Democrats' lack of moral sense is a feature, not a bug "
I agree and Tim W is a prime example, read below:
https://www.raweggstack.com/p/the-timchurian-candidate?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1953998&post_id=149317973&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=37yx0&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
I smell Democrat, AMDG. You have that lefty stink.
I agree that these times are crazy but, if Kamala is installed, I'm not sure there will be History written. Maybe in cuneiform.
And that RFK,Jr story was made up by a stalker. No truth but widely believed.
Just a coincidence that her husband is rich and a potential donor.
As mentioned many times over the past 9 years, and is perfectly reflected in Tina's comment, Trump's election in 2016 became the biggest GOPe/faux conservative "Get Out Of Jail Free" card for the Ryan's, McConnells and GOPe sellouts....and not just from 2016 on, but even for years before the 2016 election.
How anyone could look at the Washington GOP sellouts on immigration, obamcare repeal, etc and still blame Trump alone for all that and more must give the GOPe-ers warm little fuzzy feelings each night as they drift off to sleep in preparation for the next sellout of the GOP base opportunity.
Long history of Democrat " October surprises ".
"But that's got to be sad for the people who were hoping to use Mark Robinson's problems against anyone other than Mark Robinson."
What does this mean? Does it mean that it's sad that some people wanted to use Robinson being a POS against DJT? Since DJT supported Robinson even though it was known that Robinson was/is a POS (like: quoting Hitler, calling kids in shot up schools bastards, calling homos filth/cow shit/ maggots, and other stuff he said that was known before this Black Nazi stuff.)
Seems like the saddest thing is that a lot of humans have brains that have been deranged by DJT. Trump Derangement Syndrome makes these people support deranged and disgusting people. If these folks were smarter they'd be in the Never Trump group.
So, so sad!
From the Guardian, since Althouse likes reading that:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/05/mark-robinson-north-carolina
Althouse: We should disregard the fact that Trump strongly endorsed this pig Robinson because he wasn't going to win anyhow.
Trying hard to distinguish between porn site comments and “grabbing pussy”. Dumbo rats got an opportunity to float with the gloat. But Repugs WTF is your problem? A comment made in privacy, especially a decade ago, cannot be something you give an eff about.
But thanks Ann, I will vote for Mein pal Robinson
