David, thanks for another great column. I also kinda love that the link to Ohtani let to a happy review of Kamala and the "concept of a business" remark, which was just wonderful. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too. Many thanks.
DeWine: Gotta do more, mate, than an Op-Ed criticizing tRump-Hillbilly...announce that you will be supporting Kamala Harris for president, as tRump has yet again demonstrated his unfitness for the office. Talk is cheap, how about some direct action, hmm?
BTW, tRump Media shares falling toward all-time low as lockup period ending, and large investors may bail, leaving tRump with a loser company that he very well could ride down to the bottom.
tRump has ZERO skin in the game, but thousands of his MAGA cult went big, and now looking at taking a financial bath..."A fool and his money....etc., etc."
As a honky, I have no right to say this and of course can be wrong but: making any particular issue of Robinson outside of NC (where he matters) can be seen as an exercise in racist or at least suffer from racist overtones.
Is he in any way worse or more unfit than Trump? of course not. By the standards of the Party of Trump which is to say the GOP, not really.
In the context of a party led by a subhuman monster who, while in office, supported gratuitous deaths from Covid of ~300k people instead of responding in any sort of competent, proper way and for whom the primary concern of every policy was how it helps or enriches him (and who is still electable), I can't see Robinson being especially bad, awful, disgusting, sorry. (Not a defense of him intended at all.)
Meanwhile, for all the criticizing of let's say Robinson's lifestyle and beliefs, I don't see NC rejecting him for a Democrat, more particularly a Jewish specially now that Trump is let's say encouraging antisemitism by painting Jews as his personal enemy--Jews with voter fraud will be the only reasons he loses the election per him.
Robinson looks yet more par for the course when one looks at the kind of people who vote for Trump: willful ignoramuses, people who put their greed for a tax cut ahead of the good of the nation, and so on and so forth.
Robinson, other than being electable isn't the problem, the entire GOP is: special interests, chickenshit, unprincipled, venal politicians, and every voter who vote any of the Republicans now in office--actually, that's a much bigger problem than Robinson alone.
BTW, the core supporters of the GOP have been supportive of Nazis and Nazis' beliefs since the 1930s. (Still no defense of Robinson intended. As if.)
Instant editing in part in response to runfastandwin's comment below: Robinson already has been elected to statewide office. Why will 2024 be different?
Meanwhile, the one area of softness is Democrats outperforming polls since Dobbs is that a number of people voting for choice in referenda then turn around and vote for and even elect Republicans opposed to choice.
Which is to say:
I'm certain your 3m women number is high or hopeful;
I'll be happy to eat all available crow when Robinson is rejected at the polls; and
With the vile things Robinson's been shouting, I think it's pretty safe to criticize him without fear of being called racist. Is he shouting things that many of the GOP have been to politically correct to say with such specficity all these years? Probably. But he's shouting them nonetheless.
Criticizing is one thing but this is a tsunami of criticism and, I mean, he's pure Party of Trump. The entire party and everyone in it is a POS. And I was just raising the questing, not saying it was racist. I just wonder.
So (for example) he likes Nazis; Republicans have been de facto Nazi sympathizers since at least the 1930s. Which maybe is a more important fact than Robinson's stupidity.
Speaking of Nazis, what's gotten no more and probably less excitement than Robinson is Trump's flat out threats against Jews and incitement of antisemitism.
The tl;dr version of my post is that I don't go along on all the beating up Robinson as if he's a specially heinous Republican POS. Likewise, I wouldn't assume his defeat is assured.
If you have issues with that, skip the personal attacking and spell out your problem. And if the problem's only that you were offended by the post (which had a sufficient trigger warning in the first line), a) no comment was needed, specially a substance-free one and b) we might have here a you problem, not a me problem.
I repeat, after meeting with Putin in Geneva, POTUS gave Kaitlan Collins a gift of a lifetime, which she blew by not following up. I don’t know if there will be a Republican Party, do you? 🔥🔥🔥
If republicans want Robinson gone all they need do is go to the state republican Supreme Court. So far they have done everything republicans have wanted legal or not
Nice to see Olivia Nuzzi finally revealed as the far right Trumpscum she is.
So far as the 230,000 dad anti-vaxxers are concerned, a pandemic is Evolution's IQ test: are uyou intelligent enough to take this information and put it to use so as to increase the likelihood of your survival? It's pass/fail. I only wish more of the Trumpscum morons had flunked. A lot more.

Wouldn't it be somethin' if Governor DeWine called out the Ohio National Guard to stop the POS from entering Springfield?
Gaetz: Still not out of the woods yet
tRump: Jews in fact WILL [help to ] replace you.
DeWine: Gotta do more, mate, than an Op-Ed criticizing tRump-Hillbilly...announce that you will be supporting Kamala Harris for president, as tRump has yet again demonstrated his unfitness for the office. Talk is cheap, how about some direct action, hmm?
I'm thinking DeWine will collapse before trump/vance will stop with this bunch of lies! He did during the Covid45 catastrophy!
spineless assclown
Thank you David, especially
for Othani. I've been following
him for a long time and he's a
remarkable player. Have a
great weekend.
May the "best" man win in NC
and it's not Robinson.😁

There's 3 million women primed to vote in NC and they ain't voting gop. It's going solid blue this year.
Happy to be, time will tell.

Thanks for the message from Earth II, where the sky is green and the grass is blue.
Your Volvo is outside. Please drive it off the nearest cliff. "Progressive" morons like you are an embarrassment to the rest of us.

Ohtani is a unique player n MLB history. He's going to get an entire room at the HOF.

Dude dresses like a pimp cosplaying being a preacher.
