The deadline to withdraw has passed, he couldn't withdraw if he had a spine anyway.

The party doesn't care about him, specifically. His polling has been under water for months, and anyone who's not utterly delusional knows he's about to get thumped by Stein. They're now worried that if he stays in the race over the next month and a half, he will continue to be a lightning rod for Democratic attacks, especially on abortion, and that'll continue to dampen Trump's messaging. Still not convinced NC could go blue, but if it does, Robinson will be hugely responsible for it. He's a fucking moron who makes Trump look sane and stable.

Congratulations to North Carolina's ~~incumbent~~ Democrat governor-elect.

I'm not talking about the current governor.

Edit: Oh I see, I wrote 'incumbent.' My mistake.

Wish we could keep Cooper. Stein is a good replacement. We need to stay with a Democrat governor to keep the last bit of sanity in the state government. Or even better, get rid of a lot of the Republicans in state Congress, but that's a stretch.

I would expect nothing less.

Robinson was already like 15 points behind BEFORE this news. I'm not sure this will say many people. He has already publicly denied the Holocaust and called Jewish bankers "the fourth horseman." The only thing I could see having an effect is that he jerks it to trans porn despite being anti trans and the fact that he paid for his girlfriend's abortion despite calling abortion genocide.

Sometimes the news, rather than depressing me, makes me feel like I cam do anything.

Not fixing the typo lol
