It’s official–Mark Robinson is the worst candidate for a major political office I have ever seen. He has no chance of winning an election he should win, and he may even cost Trump North Carolina, which would effectively cost the man on golf cart the presidency. The Democrats put pressure on Biden to withdraw under somewhat similar circumstances, but the Republicans are doing nothing of the sort to Robinson even though the stakes could hardly be higher. What does this tell us?
While the Democrats are a normal political party that seeks to win and exercise power, the Republicans are controlled by MAGA. With the exception of Trump, it cares less about winning elections than owning the libs. It has no positive vision for America, but it wants to stick it to the people it hates. It will forgive any kind of transgressive behavior or opinion–in fact, the more outrageous and extreme, the better–as a form of protest against the establishment even at the risk of losing votes. The only thing it won’t tolerate is the willingness to concede any ground to the corrupt system.
Like Matt Gaetz and Ken Paxton, just to name a few, Robinson has angrily asserted his innocence and blamed his problems on the liberal media. That’s what a true MAGA person does regardless of the truth or falsity of the allegations. As a result, the base won’t desert him in spite of the potential consequences.
