The Morning: Could Mark Robinson decide the presidency

So What. Chris Cillizza

North Carolina Lt. Gov Mark Robinson did NOT drop his candidacy — amid a series of salacious allegations — on Thursday night.

Which means that he will be the Republican nominee for governor in November. Which is an electoral disaster for the GOP — and could matter in the presidential race.

Start here: Robinson, even before these latest allegations, was likely going to lose this race. He has long been a controversial figure — popular within the Republican base but without any significant appeal in the ideological middle of the electorate. Polling has shown state Attorney General Josh Stein leading the race.
