The GOP is distancing itself from its controversial nominee for North Carolina governor.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party are ditching Mark Robinson, their scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governorā€™s race.

Robinson has been battling to keep his head above water after claims that he called himself a ā€œBlack Naziā€ 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 AssociationĀ said in a statement that they are pulling Robinsonā€™s financial support.

      If it puts NC in play at a presidential level, thatā€™s where it gets interesting. Only 3 fewer electoral votes than Pennsylvania, same number as Georgia. Could be a big swing.
