That tree punching moron Cawthorn is losing by double digits.

Update 2200 ET:

MADISON CAWTHORN HAS LOST

[secondwind]

1. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!!!!

[Novara]

2. YESH

[Cha]

3. OMG.. No Shit!!!! Gracias!!!

💙💛

[question everything]

4. He can join Whiny Donny and whine together

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/president-trump-endorses-popular-north-carolina-rep-madison-cawthorn/

Endorsed him yesterday

[Traildogbob]

13. That make it even sweeter.

Fuck both those pervert dumb asses.

[Boomerproud]

5. Really? Wow.

Hope the trend continues. 🙏

[Lovie777]

6. Make it so ...

[Takket]

7. maybe a sign the gop wants to move a bit back towards the center?

it would be nice we we could at least get back from the completely insane scam artists to the usual basically evil gop.

[OrangeJoe]

53. Loser, but a real Republican

While everyone is glad to see this sack o' merde lose, my joy is tempered by the fact that the Republican leadership also wanted him to lose. He was a shining example of Republican values who embarrassed the leadership with his antics. In some ways it's too bad he's not in office showing the true face of the Republican corrupt grifters to the nation. The silver lining is the schadenfreude we can enjoy knowing that his post election employment plans probably are limited to assistant manager positions at Applebees.

[BigOleDummy]

59. Nah

I wish his employment prospects were that limited. Let's face it, he'll be a talking head on fox or oan or working for the Heritage Foundation faster than I can write this. We haven't heard the last from this p.o.s. I'm afraid.

[JohnSJ]

8. That is trump's boy

[a kennedy]

9. Yeehaaaaaaa..... 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[blm]

10. Not good news. He was Dem's best chance to win the seat.

I wanted him to squeak by. A growing number of Repubs here hate Cawthorn and are rooting for him to lose. They would vote for the Dem if Cawthorn wins this primary, they want him gone THAT bad.

[Traildogbob]

15. All his repub

Challengers are nut bag, off rocker trump humping idiots. If we can’t best that we suck.

[blm]

17. It's math, T. This is a heavy Republican district.

Enough Repubs wanted to see Cawthorn lose and they would have voted for the Dem rather than endure another 2yrs of Cawthorn.

Now they’ll gladly vote for Edwards or any other nominee.

[Traildogbob]

23. Relieve me I know

I live here. We gave Meadows then replaced with Cawthorn. And this district encompasses Asheville. The bluest dot in the state.,

[forgotmylogin]

45. Is there any variation of anything we can be happy for? n/t

[blm]

48. I'm happy to see his defeat, but, strategically

he was Dems only chance to win the seat in Nov.

[Maraya1969]

55. That is just defeatist talk. It doesn't help anything

[blm]

56. I hear ya

But, this is where I live and the math just isn’t there, yet. It could have been had Cawthorn won, because enough Repubs here want him gone.

[housecat]

18. Be careful what you wish for

[joshcryer]

33. If he won that primary after that circular firing squad...

...then he probably could've won the general.

[blm]

40. A good number of Repubs here want

him gone no matter what, and would either vote for the Dem in Nov or not vote at all. And the Cawthorn and Edwards people are in total enemy mode. It was Edwards team dropping those videos and pics of Cawthorn.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. Steve Kornacki just reported on MSNBC that Cawthorn "is in trouble"

I discovered that he's the Rep. for my grandmother's former district and I cannot imagine my grandmother - or any of her like-minded friends who I got to know well - voting for the likes of him!

[calimary]

28. Oh PLEASE make it so!!!!

[spanone]

12. Fuck that little twerp, he's reaping what he sows

[blueknight73]

14. He is

The Rep for my district. And some of my idiot neighbors still have signs everywhere

[rso]

16. Cawthorn

Would a democrat have any chance of beating the republican candidate in that district ?

[mwooldri]

31. Not even if the D candidate was Jesus H Christ Himself.

That district is so red, you could stick a turd up for re-election there and even if it was Jesus, or Ghandi, or Mother Theresa... the turd would win.

[SheltieLover]

19. Good!

[lame54]

20. What evilness does Edwards bring?

[blm]

24. He's a KochBrosRepublican. Pure evil.

[TygrBright]

21. I never did understand the tree thing. Beating up rotting trees is... super-manly? n/t

[TlalocW]

46. That tree

Said something bad about Hitler. Cawthorn had no choice.

TlalocW

[barbtries]

22. i had a feeling he would lose.

too much bad news out there, and he talks too much.

[Turbineguy]

25. He'll have to apply for

putemployment without that nice fat congressional salary.

[CRK7376]

26. At least a few people in my state

are trying to throw this oxygen thief out of office, AWESOME!!!!

[KPN]

27. Nice! So I guess there is possibly a limit to

GQP voters’ idiocy.

I hope Cawthorn keeps spilling the beans on all his Congressional playmates.

[Gregory Peccary]

35. Its not that there is a limit to GQP voters idiocy

It's that Cawthorn did gay shit. It's fine to be a complete nutjob hater, in fact that is preferred, but man on man stuff is what crosses the line to these knuckle draggers. They'll just vote in a replacement loonball.

[ancianita]

29. He has to lose by 30 pts or there's a runoff.

[sarcasmo]

30. I don't know who owns the car I'm driving, is going down, Nice!

[Bleacher Creature]

32. I'm kind of hoping he wins.

Republicans are 100% going to win that seat in November, so why not have it be someone who will continue to be a national punchline for the next two years?

[melm00se]

34. 80% in

Edwards 33.6%
Cawthorn 31.6%

[Brother Buzz]

39. It looks like it's gonna be a late night

Chuck Edwards......27,812 - 33.57%
Madison Cawthorn..26,105 - 31.51%

Looking like we may have a runoff. Maybe. Time will tell.

First-place candidates must get more than 30% of the vote to avoid a July 26 runoff.

[Scottie Mom]

37. YES!!!!!!! Karma rules!!!!! EOM

[BlueCheeseAgain]

38. Down to the wire...

But the experts think Cawthorn is running out of time.

On the other hand, this Edwards guy doesn't seem much better.

44. I hope we get the same news about MTG next week

[SouthernDem4ever]

50. don't hold your breath

republicans, particularly in rural georgia don't base their choices on common sense, intelligence and a will to advance society. Just the opposite. I was happy to see a small group question her eligibility.

[SoonerPride]

43. The first rule of GOP cocaine sex orgies

Is we don’t talk about GOP cocaine sec orgies.

[GenThePerservering]

47. Awww...

Cry more, Nazi.

[SouthernDem4ever]

49. why do i keep hearing Cawthorn was "dry humping' his cousin?

You can't really tell that for sure when you see the video.

[DET]

51. Be careful what you wish for...

I just looked up Chuck Edwards. He’s an older guy who owns a bunch of McDonalds franchises. From his bio…”Chuck was raised in a Southern Baptist home on McClure’s Creek with what he calls ‘mountain values.’”, “I believe the preamble to the NC Constitution binds us to consider our religious principles when passing legislation.”, and so on and so forth. Unlike Cawthorne, this guy is a true believer. The last thing we need.

[angrychair]

52. No, I agree with you

Edwards is a monster. Cawthorn is just the piece of crap we know and hate today. I'm positive Edwards will be just as much an asshole as Cawthorn

[niyad]

54. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

[iscooterliberally]

57. He got 'Nordberged'

[quakerboy]

58. Meh

I'm not one to cheer when my opponent makes a wise tactical move that doesn't benefit any cause I care about.

Ie.. id much rather have had ol cawthorn squeek past his primary by .001%, and then face a tougher general.

Instead we have a "respectable" trump supporter winning a primary in what I assume will be a fairly safe red district.

[dsharp88]

60. The first rule of cocaine-fueled Republican sex orgies is..

you don't talk about cocaine-fueled Republican sex orgies.

[rockfordfile]

61. good now vote out the republican that defeated him

[EarnestPutz]

62. No pension for a one or two term congressman, which makes me very happy. Got to wonder.....

.....if we'll see anything of him in the future.

[Blue Owl]

63. Wompin' and a' wompin'

[riversedge]

64. BUT in his anger I am sure Cawthorn will cause many little trees to die

[samplegirl]

65. Thank God!!!!
