Trump provokes domestic political violence and his foreign policy emboldens the worst characters in the world. He sure will cure the border crisis by ending the very existence of the United States.
The reason the Republicans keep getting crazies is because nobody likes the GOP's agenda. But rather than moderate their policies, Republicans resort to smearing and demonizing the Democrats, and eventually this hysteria consumed the party.
Yes if you want $4.00 gas , inflation so bad families can hardly survive, a world on fire at war, and open boarders , yes please vote blue but if you have common sense just vote for Trump. You don’t have to like the guy but you do have to give him his props. We were better off under him. I personally would never vote for Harris after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle. She call getting 13 Americans killed a great success. It’s on video.
We live here in NC and I can guarantee you that Robinson will not win just like the diaper will not win. You can’t alienate the majority of the voters then expect to win. The GQP Maga Party has alienated black and brown folks, women, gays, Asians, adoptive parents etc. you get the drift.
A homeless man on drugs randomly picked off the street is better then Robinson. The fact that you go straight to "we deserve better than a Democrat " is what's wrong with your entire GOP @@garybryson1900
That was his first elected office! How do you start there? His batshittery is probably what made Roy Cooper withdraw from the VP shortlist. Couldn't turn the state over to that wackaloon.
Most people never pay any attention to who are running for office and politics have become such a sewer of an enterprise that few good people actually get involved. And truly good people are far too wise to get into politics. Frankly, you have to wonder what is in someone's mind if they think they belong in politics, that they believe they should represent a multitude of other fellow citizens. It's an extremely weird ego trip, isn't it?
I’m from Missouri and found it hilarious that Trump endorsed three of our Republican primary gubernatorial candidates and both candidates for attorney general. 😂 I guess endorsing practically everyone in the party is one way to make sure his endorsements never lose.
Some of these Republicans want these crazies to loose and I believe they know that's what will happen. But they don't want to endorse a Democrat either. Good for the ones like Adam K. and Liz Cheney that actually did the right thing.
I disagree. They literally can't imagine that a majority of the country doesn't love Trump. They rather believe conspiracies about Hugo Chavez, dead people, and illegal immigrants than accept the possibility that they backed a loser. They will just keep losing and losing as they back the same losing strategy while insisting they are winning.
I live in southeast NC. Before the robinson CNN story broke, wherever there was a trump campaign sign on the sides of roads here, there was a robinson sign next to it. Now all the robinson signs have been removed so as not to associate one with the other.
Central NC native here......just wait until Trump calls Mark Robinson a left-wing socialist Democrat that he's never heard of. Keep the faith man, we'll elect Josh Stein and Kamala Harris...the vibe is stronger than 2008.
And that math has to include a lot of people who are not among his “base”. So the actual problem is considerably larger than most of us assume. I’ve talked to some of those people and the cluelessness is stunning. They seem rather normal at casual glance, but they’re just a short measure from the actual base.
Mark Robinson is horrible and disgusting, but Trollnald Dump has to be the worst candidate with the most issues I have ever heard of. There obviously is absolutely no bottom how low these Republicans In Name Only can go.
Republicans and conservatives believe in shows of strength and loyalty. You got to be loyal even if you’re terrible, and if you are terrible, but remain loyal, they’ll keep you. Do the right thing but be too honest? Gone.
Mark Robinson is an "isolated incident" is the funniest example of the denial of the Republican voter base remade in Trump's image. Brian Kemp is the isolated example.
Extremely unqualified, and ethically lacking candidates for high office is nothing new to Republicans and their financial support. It says a lot about those called conservatives character. Sure wish we could learn to expect candidates to state real fact on real issues while champagning, and form opinions based on that.
These people aren't really crazies, they are grifters. The current GOP attracts grifters, as grifter in chief, Trump has made it worse but it was no accident he chose to stand as a Republican.
The problem is very simple, and only honest people will admit this. Character, decency, and principles are no longer attributes a lot of people care about. That has become very evident in the clamour for the likes of Trump and friends. You only have to watch the line up of Fox News or Fox and Friends. There is a deep rot and deficiency of basic human values that is not only lacking but actively celebrated. The Republicans have been at the forefront of that celebration, and what makes it worse is that because this celebration is being perpetuated by certain types of white men, those that hold inherent beliefs that they are entitiled to act this way, unchallenged and unhinged or in some way more superior than everyone else on the planet. A lot of folks are struggling to come to terms with it and therefore struggle to be honest about how we got here and how to resolve this problem. Therefore, everyone uses euphemisms and platitudes, dancing around the issue that there is a toxic part of our society that we need to address.
The GOP has been doing this for over 20 years. Example - WA state Dan Evans was Republican governor for 2 terms, well liked. More recently, Ellen Craswell, gubernatorial candidate, was not considered a mainstream candidate. The GOP in WA state has largely failed- except for the few moderate candidates
“The blast radius”! The GOP will probably implode, and have to start over. They’re eating themselves alive. Apparently, McConnell has been beating the drum about electable candidates for 15 years. This is turning into a cult of personality, instead of a political party. 😢
They CAN'T stop them coming as long as the Fetid Orange odor hangs around. That's why Mitch glitches out, lost in images of HORROR. Fantasizing about being a Grim Reaper leads you down a bottomless dark well.
I don’t get the black Nazi thing. Weren’t nazis known for their antisemitism? I know they didn’t like anyone who wasn’t arian, but I’m confused by Naziism being used to explain his belief in slave ownership.
Trump will support anyone who flatters him and who hasn’t criticised him. That means it’s crazy-time, baby! Reasonable people have a track record of criticising Trump… but all the crazies can just flatter away and get themselves into politics on the GOP’s dime! Isn’t nature wonderful?
They want people to stop saying Trump is an "existential threat." That means we should say it EVERY. CHANCE. we get.
@@garybryson1900 If you don't think he's an existential threat after Jan 6, then you're in denial at this point. How about you let the adults talk?
Trump provokes domestic political violence and his foreign policy emboldens the worst characters in the world. He sure will cure the border crisis by ending the very existence of the United States.
If they got rid of all the crazies would they have anybody left?
When your whole party is a grift, bad candidate's are all you have to choose from
Well said!!

Vote Blue 🗳 For Women's health care 💙 ❤️ Aaaaah..#. WE WON'T Be Fooled Again 🎉 Aaaaah 🎉
Well said.
GOP get rid of the crazies? It IS the crazies!
Here's a clue. 4 years ago he said women didn't deserve the right to vote. Misogyny should be heard as a 3 alarm fire. When will people learn that?
I blame the voters who are putting all these 💩 candidates in office. What does that say about America??
I’ve often said, the only thing worse than Trump is a Trump voter.
Sad but true
Unfortunately a lot has to do with republicans gerrymandering.
That’s why they do it, that’s the only way for them to constantly win some districts.
I love the poorly educated
100%. In the primaries MTG beat a neurosurgeon. Not saying doctors can't be crazy but I doubt he was crazier than than MTG.
Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
ROY MOORE, TRUMP, MARK ROBINSON ETC THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LEARN UNTIL THEY GET RID OF TRUMP.
A normal republican could not win a primary.
Exactly.
Many tried. Asa Hutchinson probably would have been Harris if he had been nominated. Republicans don't like normal people. The party is done.
Exactly so. The Republican Party has no way of firing its primary voters and hiring new ones with better political judgment.
The GOP has really painted themselves into a corner.
So UN-gerrymander the districts in a bipartisan manner so that sane people CAN win a primary for either party?! It’s just a thought.
North Carolina, you deserve better. Vote blue. Harris/Walz 2024.
I live in NC. We deserve better than what Democrats can give us.
Yes if you want $4.00 gas , inflation so bad families can hardly survive, a world on fire at war, and open boarders , yes please vote blue but if you have common sense just vote for Trump. You don’t have to like the guy but you do have to give him his props. We were better off under him. I personally would never vote for Harris after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle.

Harris/Walz 2024 💙💙🙏🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
The party of do your own research doesn't do their own research
They need to set their standards higher.
They had to recruit millionaires who could self-fund. Donald Trump took all the RNC funds to pay his Lawyers.
Trump sure can pick them!
He likes the literal bottom of the ocean just as he is
Vote blue. Harris/Walz 2024🇺🇸🌊🗳️🇺🇸
They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating... They're eating the pets of the people that live there. 😂😂😂 Vote blue 💙💙💙
Da dawwwwgs😅
Vote Blue 💙💙💙💙 Patriot's
He wis the Lt Governor for heaven's sake. How did he get that far?
That was his first elected office! How do you start there? His batshittery is probably what made Roy Cooper withdraw from the VP shortlist. Couldn't turn the state over to that wackaloon.

Jesse Helms was NC's Senator. Toxic politicians are not a new problem and reflect a toxic (section) of the public.
I’m from Missouri and found it hilarious that Trump endorsed three of our Republican primary gubernatorial candidates and both candidates for attorney general. 😂 I guess endorsing practically everyone in the party is one way to make sure his endorsements never lose.
Lucas Kunce for Senate! And “yes” on 3 Missouri. 💙
Evil begets evil like a magnet.
Some of these Republicans want these crazies to loose and I believe they know that's what will happen. But they don't want to endorse a Democrat either. Good for the ones like Adam K. and Liz Cheney that actually did the right thing.
"When Will They Learn?"
When a critical mass of American voters will make such approach simply politically unviable.
I disagree. They literally can't imagine that a majority of the country doesn't love Trump. They rather believe conspiracies about Hugo Chavez, dead people, and illegal immigrants than accept the possibility that they backed a loser. They will just keep losing and losing as they back the same losing strategy while insisting they are winning.
When they can’t make any more money
Exactly, when the gop loses every single race possible.
I live in southeast NC. Before the robinson CNN story broke, wherever there was a trump campaign sign on the sides of roads here, there was a robinson sign next to it. Now all the robinson signs have been removed so as not to associate one with the other.
Central NC native here......just wait until Trump calls Mark Robinson a left-wing socialist Democrat that he's never heard of. Keep the faith man, we'll elect Josh Stein and Kamala Harris...the vibe is stronger than 2008.
Wait, who would they have left if they did that? This is WHO THEY ARE. They just say the quiet part out loud now
Like... *How is this presidential race even CLOSE* its outrageous, depressing, and embarrassing. And trump is boring AF
Unless the Democrats can STEAL the election, you will be very unhappy on 11/5 and the next 4 years.
And that math has to include a lot of people who are not among his “base”. So the actual problem is considerably larger than most of us assume. I’ve talked to some of those people and the cluelessness is stunning. They seem rather normal at casual glance, but they’re just a short measure from the actual base.
On 1 hand it is amazing it is close, on the other a close race will be a motivation, to get out and vote, to make sure he doesnt win
Again, as in trump in 2016 campaign, you could see the disaster from a mile off. Blast radius is perfect metaphor. Thanks for this vlog.
Democracy or else Dictatorship
Our current governmental structure includes safeguards designed to hinder a President from exercising dictatorial powers.
Mark Robinson is horrible and disgusting, but Trollnald Dump has to be the worst candidate with the most issues I have ever heard of. There obviously is absolutely no bottom how low these Republicans In Name Only can go.
Seems like they are real republicans, like all republicans, not in name only
Robinson and Trump are both morally superior to any Democrat.
Yes and ... the shadow of Trump's unfitness is so broad and so dark that it ALMOST covers guys like Robinson.
Republicans and conservatives believe in shows of strength and loyalty. You got to be loyal even if you’re terrible, and if you are terrible, but remain loyal, they’ll keep you. Do the right thing but be too honest? Gone.
They're not hostages to their crazies, hostages don't cheer their captors.
The Republicans are who they want to be.
Can they learn? Their brains seem tied up in gaining power and money. May not be room for any other thoughts. 😮
Yep😢
Vote Blue America 🇺🇸
Never. They've been grooming these people for decades.
Great show! Enjoyed the conversation!
❤💙🇺🇸AMEN to all that. What a list of the worst of America. Hopefully, one day, this crap will all stop. Tha KS for all y'all do❤❤❤
I’m just thankful that MLK never used steroids.
Thank you for saying this is pre Trump. I get sick of people acting like this wasn't happening before he entered politics
Not apologizing is weak. Only strong people admit the truth and apologize.
Terrible, utter lack of leadership on their part.
Pack of cowards.
We need to test these people before they start working.
FOR US. !!!
WE PAY THESE PEOPLE SALARIES.
WE SIGN THAT PAY CHECK.!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH US.🇺🇸
Mark Robinson is an "isolated incident" is the funniest example of the denial of the Republican voter base remade in Trump's image. Brian Kemp is the isolated example.
Never…. They’ve allowed the patients to run the asylum
Either way, they depend on the same voters. The only issue they have now is, they are no longer hiding behind hoods.
You NAILED it 💯💯💯
Get rid of the crazies? They ARE the crazies.
It is both a voter & candidate issue. 💩 attracts flies.
💯
Big fan of Joe Perticone. Thank you.
You'd think even republicans might be anxious to support ranked choice voting now.
Extremely unqualified, and ethically lacking candidates for high office is nothing new to Republicans and their financial support. It says a lot about those called conservatives character. Sure wish we could learn to expect candidates to state real fact on real issues while champagning, and form opinions based on that.
Alex, I'm going to go with,
"Assorted Nuts" for 500.
Hopefully they'll never learn! 💙🇺🇸
Looking at the polls, they may not NEED to get rid of the crazies. THEN what?
Tom Tillis is dreaming. We are all in just a short space of time before this Robinson character is back in the booth. 🔥
If it results in Harris /Walz winning, I'm all for it.
Dude crazies are all they have left.
Crazies can’t get rid of crazies because they don’t think they or them are crazy.
They won't because its an addiction.
Sam said he never seen a candidate with more problems as Robinson, has Sam forgotten about Roy Moore?
🤫 Don't stop them
Blue tsunami 🌊
Their supporters like crazies!
Is there a way to get rid of crazies?
Robinson is great for the Dem ticket up and down the line. Just Dandy. 💙💙💙
The GOP is a mess. The fact that the dems could get Biden swapped out but the GOP can't shake this nut case says volumes.
Excellent episode!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Tillis has previously said he would retire after this term. Has that changed?
It’s who they are. #cravenGQP
These people aren't really crazies, they are grifters. The current GOP attracts grifters, as grifter in chief, Trump has made it worse but it was no accident he chose to stand as a Republican.
They have to get rid of "Despicable Him" first

They are not interested in getting rid of the crazies. The party strive on their behavior.
You left out Doug Mastriano-one of the biggest kooks from last cycle.
When Palin was mainstreamed, a Faustian bargain was “tolerated”, and now we reap the seeds of that fruit.
They can’t win without the crazies
It's not a bug, it's a feature
When the Grift and Gravy Crazy Train runs out of "patriots" to fleece.....
If they get rid of crazies, 95% of the party would be gone. Nuts!
they can’t get rid of them, the crazies are all they have left
Perspicacious Perticone.
Joe is my favourite on the Bulwark
Sam Stein is a solid addition to The Bulwark.
Jim has the most hilarious sinister laugh

“Unfit for office”
So what’s worse? The obvious absurdity or the mild-mannered stealth candidate?
They CAN'T stop them coming as long as the Fetid Orange odor hangs around. That's why Mitch glitches out, lost in images of HORROR. Fantasizing about being a Grim Reaper leads you down a bottomless dark well.
These guys are delusional.
I love how almost aggressively 80s that room that guest is sitting in is.
"Gubernatorial", emphasis on "goober"...
woof woof! down Trump! down!
I don’t get the black Nazi thing. Weren’t nazis known for their antisemitism? I know they didn’t like anyone who wasn’t arian, but I’m confused by Naziism being used to explain his belief in slave ownership.
It's because he's an authoritarian.
Nazis also thought blacks were an inferior race.
I really think Robinson identifies as white in his mind.
Sam looks like he’s at that abandoned farm just north of town….
My Really Rotten Theory is close to becoming a Really Rotten Law.
Trump will support anyone who flatters him and who hasn’t criticised him. That means it’s crazy-time, baby! Reasonable people have a track record of criticising Trump… but all the crazies can just flatter away and get themselves into politics on the GOP’s dime! Isn’t nature wonderful?
The GOP will ditch the crazies once it is no longer politically profitable to keep them on.
Harris, justice'''
A party lead by a person with a tenuous grip on reality and no sense of justice or morality is obviously welcoming to similar individuals.
The gop is the craziness, they got rid of Shara and Tin
