I will admit to hoping he continues to stand his ground - sure, the comments on slavery isn’t going to hurt him with the white part of the GOP base (okay, fine, 90%, there, I’m being fair) but it isn’t going to help much with the rest. May he, like a lot of Trump picks, push a Democrat into a win! ---

Yeah, but they always say that when the story first breaks. But Robinson is crazy enough that he just may mean it. ---

Damn this election campaign would be just the absolute best funniest thing ever to happen if the Republicans were losing by double figures in every single race I mean how are they not losing by double figures in every race?!! Well actually I do know and it’s not funny. But seriously you could not write this stuff. Like there are 3 news stories a day that if you put in a story about a fictional terrible electoral campaign your editor would tell you to tone it down for fear of breaking the willing suspension of disbelief ---

I look forward to the inevitable progression of responses. 1. “I didn’t do it!” That wasn’t me, it’s fake." 2. “Well, I guess it might have been me, but I don’t remember it. I had issues with addiction back then, but I have been clean for years now.” 3. “Yes, it was me, and with all the reminders I’m getting, I now have a vague recollection of writing those things, but they don’t represent my current point of view. I have evolved.” ---

From the CNN story: > [@](#): > > This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. So _none_ of his personalities could have posted this stuff? Well alrighty then. On the bright side, Robinson may have clinched the “black Nazi” vote. ---
