Jonathan Last: “Up until last night, the GOP in North Carolina could have replaced its gubernatorial candidate. Robinson is going to lose this race. He’s going to lose it so badly that he might pull the top of the ticket down with him. And he’s going to lose it dishonorably. He isn’t Barry Goldwater going down to defeat because of his principles.”
“What happened is that the Republican Party of North Carolina got hijacked by an insane person. And when the shit hit the fan, the NC GOP didn’t have the ability to push this insane person aside.”
“This is the difference between a healthy institution and a failed institution.”
