Comments for The Robinson affair - is it fact or fiction? | Eastern NC Now

As of yesterday, in every poll available, Stein is UP 7% to 10%.
MR WILL NOT win this battle.

I don't care how many stars he has.
He should have withdrawn. The $$$ battle at the nutrition business is fraud. That is not going away. The bookkeeping, record keeping, the falsified info about family members in the business is not going way.

MR is destroying the ticket. Down balloting needs STRONG support at the top.
Our Council of state is at risk

And the Gen Assemblly leadership (who support MR) are doing nothing.

MR is NOT a Jesse Helms. He can't offset. His only pushback is DENIAL.
Stein is running a Jesse-type campaign. I'll give him credit He is DESTROYING MR on the air and now tying MR to Trump.

The NC COP is a mighty weak party and are kowtowing to the dems (by choice or inactivity).

When it comes to fighting illegal immigration, Robinson is the only game in town. Stein (or should it be FRANKEN-Stein) is horrible on illegal immigration, a real amnesty whore. Robinson is the only candidate saying the right things on illegal immigration. Libertarians are not to be trusted on immigration issues, as they are all bad on them. Vinny Smith, the Constitution Party candidate avoids the issue, so he is not to be trusted either.

Come on people please! You know it's false, the fact that CNN (Communist News Network) said it's true tells you right there. Just like whenever Little Bobbie makes his Communist comments! LOL
To be perfectly honest I could care less about ANY politicians sex life. Didn't care about Clinton with Monica, didn't care about JFK and Monroe, didn't care nothing about Trump and Stormy. That's between a husband and a wife. I only care about how your running the country or state. I'm sure EVERY politician has some kinda skeleton in their closet. DON'T CARE!!! Stick to what really matters and what happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty!!

Republican voters were let down by party leaders for failing to vet Robinson. Now most of his campaign staff, who were not the most competent anyway, have bailed out. Why the heck did NC Republican leaders not push him hard to withdraw. I don't know if any of the CNN claims are true, but it is clear that their being out there makes Robinson unelectable and a drag on the overall ticket. Unless he comes out with something more than a general denial, he is finished and he ought to recognize that. The way CNN habdked this gives every inidcation it is a smear, but it is an effective smear.

Robinson was never a top drawer candidate for a high profile race. Of the three who ran in the primary, Dale Folwell was electable, and the other two were not. Sadly, Dale ran second.

It was irritating that Robinson stuck his nose in local state senate primaries twice, both times supported the least conservative of the candidates. The most recent time was for Bob Brinson over staunch conserative former legislator Mike Speciale. I would have had a hard time voting for Robinson after that anyway. I dispise Raleigh knownothings trying to interfere in eastern NC primaries.

I voted for Dale Folwell in the primary. He was one of our best state treasurers ever and could have been one of our best governors. I'm sick about that. It's been a while since North Carolina had a good governor and now we lose our good treasurer too.

It's true that Robinson has some flaws. Is this latest bombshell true? I don't know. Using the Dem standard we shouldn't be worried about sex behavior. Personally, I'm way more concerned about he and his wife's business dealings. Whichever version of the Robinsons are true: Are they worse than Little Commie Josh Stein? The sad truth is, all three of the others on the gubernatorial ballot are better choices than Stein or Robinson, and the general public knows nothing about them.

In NC races I'm excited about voting for Bishop for Attorney General, Causey for Insurance Commissioner, Morrow for Superintendent of Public Instruction and Republican Judges. Countywide I'm only voting for conservatives. The NC GOP is a corrupt disaster doing more harm than good - more on them later.

Of course, Trump for President. If we lose that one, I'm heading for the mountains of Switzerland or underground to parts unknown. We're likely in for an interesting ride no matter who wins.

Robinson was a very poor choice as a nominee for a lot of reasons, and Jeff, you are correct that Dale Folwell was far and away our best choice. A lawsuit is not ginned up overnight, but Robinson ought to file one. However, the only way he survives this politically would be taking and passing a polygraph test. The timing of it does stink to high heaven and CNN was clearly playing partisan politics with at least the timing and maybe more of that.

This is not Robinson's only problem even if he passes a polygraph on this one, he is badly flawed. He should have been vetted much better and the "leadership" of NCGOP is responsible for that.

The big problem is that we need a viable candidate to stop far left socialist Josh Stein, who probably shortened the family name from Frankenstein. He is really horrible. Between Stein and Robinson, one wishes there was a "none of the above" choice on the ballot that would force a new election with different candidates. Neither of them is fit to be our governor.

IF these allegations were false, Robinson would be suing and have restraining orders applied.

He has NOT offered one instance of opposition to these allegations, OTHER than, it's a lie.

There are MAJOR allegations, in many facets of his personal life, business life and political life.

Robinson should have resigned wks ago but after last wk, immediately. He should END his candidacy. This STATE is ABOVE and MORE IMPORTANT than HIM.

He CANNOT win this election.
I expect a dripping affect to allegations and it will continue, daily and weekly.

Folwell was a GREAT candidate and his service to THIS STATE is impeccable. HE should become the candidate.

Stein will walk into the gov mansion for 4Y and likely 8Y.
Do you realize how much damage will be done in 4Y and/or 8Y????????

It is unlikely that one could get very far into an investigation of this matter before election day, which is another reason it was timed this late. It would take time to peel back the layers of the onion. Undoubtedly, the team that created this is different from whoever was supposed to have "discovered" it and there might be further cutouts until you get to CNN. However, if Robinson is serious, it is time to get started on that process. If not, he needs to step aside. The timing of this stinks to high heaven and that creates a bad smell around the whole claim.
