    Apparently, you can’t be both black and nazis and get elected by the GOP

    “A good chunk of those sticking by Robinson may only be doing so because he is a Republican.”

    No. Shit. Lol

    When asked whether Vance believes Robinson’s denial that the comments were made by him, Vance said that the situation needed to “play out.”

    “I don’t not believe him, I don’t believe him — I just think that you have to let these things sometimes play out in the court of public opinion."

    Remember that for Republicans it’s not a matter of how despicable a candidate is, it’s only a matter of if they’re popular or not. Vance came right out and said that the truth doesn’t matter, just public opinion. If 50.1% of voters in North Carolina were going to vote for Robinson, the GOP wouldn’t care what he said. If that number was 49.9%, it wouldn’t matter if he was an amalgamation of Jesus Christ and Captain America, they’d throw him to the curb and claim they’d never heard of him.

    They have no principles. The only thing they believe in is power; getting it, and using it against the people they hate. That is their only true ideology.

      He’s a self-loathing black republican. And a self-described black nazi. He’s like a unicorn to Republicans.

    I want his defeat to be written in history books. I want his name to be remembered in history the way we remember Darwin Awards winners.

    This guy is pure lead brains.
