Erick Erickson acknowledges<\/a> a possibility I brought up not too long ago<\/a>, although I view it as a near-certainty<\/em>:<\/p>\n

But MAGA [in North Carolina] chose to go with Mark Robinson, a minister who had a weird kinky fetish history online and is among the walking dead of candidates now.<\/p>\n

The drip, drip, drip of scandal is now going to continue because Robinson will not step aside by midnight. He will lose. He is ten points behind the Democrat in the polls right now.<\/p>\n

Erickson is in the process of pinning future blame on MAGA<\/strong>. What he doesn’t understand is that the Republican Party team politics toxic culture will most likely lead to another crisis in the Republican Party in the not too distant future. Until Gingrichian dictates are explicitly rejected as immature foolishness, the Republican Party will be at risk – or at sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
