* You’ve probably heard the news about North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. Well, there’s an Illinois angle…
The Tenth Congressional District Republicans have devoted an entire page to promote the event. But click here in case they delete it.
I reached out to several Republican organizations yesterday about whether the event was still moving forward and have yet to hear back.
* And I know I’m kinda asking the impossible, but please do your utmost to keep it clean in comments. Thanks.

Man, what I’m stuck on is that Robinson was planning to be in IL to benefit IL/WI candidates 5 weeks before his own election in NC.

In a brilliant move, Rich Miller has an excuse to ban every single Cap Fax commentator as they struggle to reference what Mark Robinson did without violating the rules. Allowing him to enjoy his blog without the headache of the comments.

From what I’ve gleaned elsewhere, he thinks he has his own election locked in. Either he wins it by vote (growing less likely by the day, but still in the realm of possibility) or he claims it was stolen and tries to win it in court (which is not impossible to rule out given some of NC Supreme Court’s other rulings).

In Kenilworth??
“Location will be emailed to you the day before the event” - is this some underground rave at an abandoned warehouse or lakefront mansion that they don’t want busted up by the cops?

I’m an old guy, so forgive me saything this…. but I can remember when any political party would have dumped this candidate immediately. Respectability, they used to call it, was important.

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt!
Cho and Shaw are two of the most inept GOP party hacks in Illinois.

Wait, Mark Shaw is responsible for bringing a seriously flawed candidate to IL that will hurt IL candidates. Shocking.

Looks like someone is about to get a taste of the GOP cancel culture.

I wonder if Jack! ever regrets starting his political career running for office in 2004 and not waiting until 2024

You don’t have to be that old. It’s not so long ago that ILGOP dumped Jack Ryan because he wanted to bring his wife to a sex club. Of course, then they chose Alan Keyes to replace him, not the brightest of moves.

I tried to to post something nice about this situation.
But, Nope, can’t do it.

ILGOP brings Mark Robinson to Illinois for a fundraiser.
Yep, checks out.

The very moderate 10th District GOP was bringing in a guy who was telling audiences some people just need killing.
And yet it got worse.

Still waiting for them to hit bottom.

I am a conservative. I value the two party system. But some of these Republicans….sheeesh, they really make it hard.

do they think he will appear angelic if they bring him to a state they always criticize for corruption?
Comment by Amalia Friday, Sep 20, 24 @ 10:08 am
Just one question: Will Darren Bailey and his Christian school be supporting Robinson?

It seems like these GOP couches have a hard life.
Comment by Three Dimensional Checkers Friday, Sep 20, 24 @ 10:26 am
Not surprising, given the state of leadership in the State GOP right now. Sometimes I think they’re all nut cases.

Even before this latest revelation, Robinson was known for his views on a variety of subjects. The fact the the once pragmatic and centrist 10th District GOP chose to invite him really says a lot about how far out of the mainstream they have become.

Robinson is more Art Jones than he is Jack Ryan.

Whether it is this guy, or bomb threats in Ohio, or AwakeIL/LibsofTikTok encouraging bomb threats to schools/hospitals, this is just the direction that the majority of the Republican Party nationwide is going.
I don’t know how anyone can look at the Republican Party as a whole on any level and think it is worth saving. Every sane member needs to seriously ask themselves why they are associating with these people.

Mark Shaw…. I am cracking up. He’s for sure a needle mover! Not in the direction he thinks though.

So many skeletons in the closets of politians. If the allegations are true, he should step down. Don’t double down, just go.

GOP is responsible for the hoax bomb threats in Ohio that originated from overseas according to the Ohio Governor?
Comment by Anonymous Friday, Sep 20, 24 @ 12:10 pm
Republican’t slogan “When in doubt, double down, lie, and smear.”
Comment by Huh? Friday, Sep 20, 24 @ 12:21 pm
Hey when hasn’t the GOP been in favor of patronizing local small businesses? Over and over again… he’s supporting the local economy. Stimulating growth… In the local tax base. Shame on you for criticizing him. The GOP has nothing but the finest people.

Thought process: “Wait, I live in the 10th, don’t I? Do I live in the 10th?” *quick google* “Is the GOP even running a candidate in the 10th? Shouldn’t I have heard something about it by now if they are?” *more googling* “Well, I have never heard of this man but at least he’s not on the gross flyer. Ew ew ew ew ew.”

Pretty sure it was clear that Robinson was radioactive long before yesterday. I’d say What were they thinking? But as usual, nobody was thinking. Typical, sadly.

I’m pretty sure they’ve moved beyond shovels, beyond bobcats and backhoes, and are into dynamite & heavy industrial earth movers by now.

So the same far Left-wing crackpots who pushed a Russia collusion hoax nonstop for 3 straight years despite a total lack of evidence, are now pushing a smear campaign against a successful Black Republican with no evidence and despite Robinson’s strong denial. Got it.

“No evidence”
Hilarious.

The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that D’s “let their freak flag fly” and R’s hide it in the closet and get all sanctimonious when they get busted.
