Mark Robinson ja Trump: Yksi kohu, monta ongelmaa!

Kohut, kommentit ja kytkökset – North Carolinan kuvernöörikamppailu on transformoitunut sirkukseksi!

Lakeuden kuningas vai kansakunnan kiro? Mark Robinson, Pohjois-Carolinan kuvernööriehdokas ja paikallinen republikaani, on yhtäkkiä kaikkien huulilla räväkkien kommenttiensa ansiosta. Kyseessä ei ole vain tavallinen vaaliväittely, vaan Robinson on saanut itselleen ympärilleen niin valtavan kohun – se voi vaikuttaa jopa entisen presidentti Trumpin maineeseen. CNN paljasti, että Robinson on käyttänyt karkeita ja jopa loukkaavia sanoja seksuaaliseen sisältöön liittyvissä keskusteluissa, mikä on saanut tantoja enemmän kuin koskaan ennen.

Demokraatit ovat nopeasti hyödyntäneet Robinsonin kohua omassa mainoskampanjassaan, yhdistäen häntä Trumpiin, jonka on tarkoitus pärjätä Pohjois-Carolinassa. Kun Robinson on yrittänyt selitellä ja irtautua omista sanomisistaan, Trumpin kampanja on nostanut käsiään ylös ja etääntynyt Robinsonista. Olisi melko kova isku, jos Robinsonin lausunnot romuttaisivat koko republikaaneiden mahdollisuuden voittoon tässä tärkeässä osavaltiossa. Mikäli Robinson ei kuuntele Kritiikkiä, voi olla, että sekoitus Trumpin ja Robinsonin kytkösten ympärillä oleva kohu syö heidät molemmat.

Robinsonia ovat puhutelleet monenlaiset reaktiot, ei vähiten NAACP:n vaatimukset vaalitaistelun lopettamiseksi. Monet pitävät häntä potentiaalisena lippuna, mutta tällä hetkellä hän on enemmänkin musta lammas kuin niitä sinisiä elefantteja. Kyse ei ole siitä, mitä Robinson on sanonut, vaan siitä, kuinka kauas hän on mennyt itse itseltään. Jos Robinson ei onnistu kääntämään tätä myrkkyä voitoksi, voi hänen uransa kaatua ennen varsinaista vaalipäivää.

Toisaalta, tähän jännittävään kehitykseen liittyvät myös muut politiikan pelurit. Tim Walzin paljastettu keskustelu on kiihdyttänyt vauhtia, mutta toisaalta tällaiset näkemykset saattavat puhaltamaan tuulia Trumpin laivaan – jos sitä nyt voi edes sanoa. Politiikasta on tullut kerran taas näyttämö, jossa henkilökohtaiset skandaalit vallankumouksellistavat perinteisen vaalitaistelun!

Viimeisenä tietona Robinsonin kohdalla on, että hänen julkiset lausuntonsa ovat keränneet valtavan kannanottoja, mutta on mielenkiintoista huomata, kuinka vaalikampanjat käyttävät toistensa vastustajien sanoja oman hyväkseen. Ruokaa keskustelulle ja mahdollisuuksia, jotka voivat muuttaa vaalien suunnan! Politiikka on kuin huumori: jos se ei saa sinua nauramaan tai hämmentymään, olet todennäköisesti väärässä paikassa!
