NC Lt. Gov. Candidate Mark Robinson Sees Surge in Conservative Grassroots Support
Campaign slogan: “Patriots, not Politicians”
We have witnessed a lot of wailing and hand-wringing from #NeverTrumpers about the death of conservatism in the “age” of Trump. Never mind that eight years is hardly an “age,” and that’s the maximum Trump can spend as president.
You’d never know it from the “conservatives” who claim some higher set of principles . . . principles it seems that makes someone with all of Trump’s personality flaws and none of his essential attributes (or even a socialist) a more attractive president than Orange Man Bad.
If anything can kill a conservative movement, it’s a bunch of “conservatives” standing as a bulwark in daily support of socialists and communists. And if anything can push forward a conservative movement, it’s actual conservatives.
Enter Mark Robinson, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor in North Carolina. Robinson became a national sensation when he stood before the Greensboro city council and mounted a passionate defense of the Second Amendment.
Watch:
In July, I blogged that Robinson was running for Lt. Gov. in his home state and that his campaign’s focus was on “patriots, not politicians.”
Since that time, Robinson has been tweeting about numerous issues and getting a good response in terms of relative shares and likes. Here’s a sampling:
Leftists are mad at PRESIDENT Trump for “insulting” Baltimore, but are not angry at Democrats for DESTROYING Baltimore.
Pure liberal lunatic hypocrisy.— Mark Robinson (@markrobinsonNC) July 29, 2019
If Democrats were interested in providing the MAXIMUM amount of OPPORTUNITIES for Americans they wouldn’t be so obsessed with the minimum wage.

The same people who don’t want the police to profile suspicious people on the streets, will now want to PROFILE every law abiding gun owner in America.

The same people who told us not to “rush to judgement” and blame Radical Islamic Terrorism for Ft. Food, San Bernardino, and Pulse Nightclub, are sure in a big hurry to blame the NRA and President Trump for El Paso and Ohio.

On September 14, 2019, the Robinson campaign is hosting a statewide grassroots launch.
Robinson has recently garnered a lot of grassroots attention; this is somewhat surprising given how little media attention this race has received so far. This appears to be actual grassroots support of the sort the Tea Party enjoyed and not the manufactured “grassroots” astroturfing that marks the majority of leftist movements.

Robinson has apparently noted the surge of grassroots support. He posted a video in which he states that he sees his campaign not just as a campaign but as a conservative movement rooted in (actual) conservative principles.

This guy has a gift for rhetorical argument. You don’t have to make long speeches if you can string together one killer argument after another the way this guy does. I can’t wait to see how his political career develops. Hoping the “professionals” don’t advise him out of winning.
His best line, “We’re [the law-abiding] the first ones taxed, and the last ones considered, and the first ones punished when things like this happen”
Ain’t that the truth.
I love it — this is citizen civic engagement at its finest.
I’m heartened by Robinson’s candidacy, and, that of Catalina Lauf, as well.

There is still hope for Americans who reject the Dhimmi-crats’ unabashed, jackbooted totalitarian antics and agenda.
Donated…again. And thank you Legal Insurrection for reminding us of these worthy candidates. I will be contributing again to the L.I. foundation, too.
Yes! Thanks for helping remind me to donate.
Also, anyone in NC, vote current Lt. Gov. Dan Forest for Governor!
Politics, regardless of party, is in dire need of fresh blood. I hope that Mark Robinson wins the election and does what is best for the people. He most certainly shows promise.
Rinos/Never Trumpers and conservatives get conflated. RINOs are just what the name suggests. Neer Trumps still think they know more than we do so they suffer from Dunning Kruger smae a teh left. What they all forgot is DOLE< MCACAIN a. and Romney. LOSERS one and all.
RE: “If anything can kill a conservative movement, it’s a bunch of “conservatives” standing as a bulwark in daily support of socialists and communists. And if anything can push forward a conservative movement, it’s actual conservatives.”
They’re CONS alright,
just not conservative ones…..
Hello, calling President Trump. The Trumpster needs to go to NC and have a rally supporting this impressive man. This is exactly the kind of person we need at the local level.
Trump is scheduled to have a rally at Fayetteville NC on September 19th. I would hope Robinson is invited.
Maybe those of us outside NC, in impossibly blue states (e.g., CA), could consider donating to Mark’s campaign.
