The GOP fears the "absolute destruction" their nominee for a gubernatorial race will cause, a New York Times columnist wrote.NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg detailed the concerns of the GOP after self-described "high-risk humanitarian" Victor Marx won his party's nomination for governor last week. Marx has been in the national spotlight for claiming that he killed a man when he was 7 years old. Goldberg also highlights his series of bizarre and dubious claims, such as that he saved over 40,000 women and girls from sex trafficking, that he can perform exorcisms by phone, and that he has a black belt in "Cajun karate," which was invented by his father, Karl Marx.Although some of these claims haven't held up under scrutiny, Goldberg wrote, "These discrepancies haven't stopped Marx from building a brand out of action-movie evangelicalism," and winning the GOP nomination for governor to go up against Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in November. However, the Colorado GOP is worried about his nomination, Goldberg noted, not because it has its sights set on the governorship but because of how it will affect down-ballot races. "Marx's close victory in a three-way primary has some Colorado Republicans despairing," Goldberg wrote. "Given how blue the state has become, the GOP never had much hope of winning the governorship, but Republicans told me that having Marx at the top of the ticket could put some statehouse and congressional races in danger."Darcy Schoening, a top Colorado GOP party staffer who runs an anti-Marx website, told Goldberg that Marx is "going to do absolute destruction to all the candidates down ballot," and that his campaign has divided the state's right wing."The elevation of Marx is, in part, a story about the right-wing revolution eating its own," Goldberg wrote. "Marx demonstrates what can happen when voters, feeling apocalyptic, disdain concerns about expertise and electability and let themselves be guided by their id."
