Donald Trump and the Republican Party are ditching Mark Robinson, their scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governor’s race.
Robinson has been battling to keep his head above water after claims that he called himself a “Black Nazi” and made other offensive comments on a pornographic website.
But it appears the national GOP hierarchy are prepared to let him drown. The Republican Governors Association said in a statement that they are pulling Robinson’s financial support.
So there will be a Democrat in NC. Nice.
If it puts NC in play at a presidential level, that’s where it gets interesting. Only 3 fewer electoral votes than Pennsylvania, same number as Georgia. Could be a big swing.
