1. All humanity rises up with this

great defeat.

[ananda]

2. i wish the same fate for MTG and Boebert

...

[Hoyt]

3. Good, he's a pissant. Not sure winner is any better or easier to beat in general, though.

[MyMission]

22. Actually the winner will be hard to beat

Chuck Edwards was endorsed by senator Tillis, who also spent a lot of money to help defeat cawthorn. He's a local politician, anti immigration, and is a good ole boy who will go along with the GOPQ agenda, not make waves. But he's not a rabid supporter of tfg, so that's something.

Haven't seen if there's a democratic winner yet, but whoever wins will be at a disadvantage in this +9 red zone. Elections generally run 60/40 their favor. But there's always hope, and a chance we can elect a Democrat to Congress. Heath Shuler, a yellow dog democrat, was our rep for 6 years before we were gerrymandered. Now that we're "un-gerrymandered" we have a better chance, but
Edwards will be hard to beat so we'll have to work hard.

I'm so glad cawthorn lost. I expect him to be more of an ass as he completes his term in Congress. Perhaps he'll resign early and leave us without a congressperson, as Meadows did.
Did I mention I live in his district, but don't call him my representative.

[Hoyt]

23. Good to hear he's not a rabid trumpster. I live in a similar district.

Thanks for the solid information.

[Archae]

4. Even money he's going to end up on Faux "news."

Or maybe some other far-right nutcase network like Newsmax or OAN.

[ShazzieB]

39. He'd fit right in at any of those places.

[calimary]

66. He photographs well.

And he’ll get lots of sympathetic viewers because of the wheelchair. I hate to be crass and I apologize. But folks, that works on a LOT of unengaged voters. “Awwww, he looks like a nice guy. Think I’ll give him a chance…”

[Kid Berwyn]

5. One link to GOP cocaine "origies" gone.

Gaetz breathes easier.

[ARPad95]

15. "origies"

Are those orgies with origami?

[littlemissmartypants]

74. And you don't have to buy a star to get the spell check function...

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Cawthorne's future will be interesting.

I see a disabled person's like spiraling down as his 25YO looks abandon him and he just becomes another insufferable middle aged asshole.

[hunter]

17. Maybe now he can be the man he wants to be.

Not a good man, I'm certain, but better than Republican meat puppet.

[FakeNoose]

43. Gov. Abbott may have a job for him in Texas

[applegrove]

7. Good night for Democrats.

[LenaBaby61]

10. So much for tRump's pick CRYthorne .....

He really needs to be in jail and not running for ANYTHING, and so does his master tRump. Unfortunately, tRump won't be going to jail.

Anyway, his fellow seditionist, racist pos buddy LOST as many thought he would

[lastlib]

44. (um, typo? "tRump's p_ick"?)

just askin'.....

[LeftInTX]

27. Cawthorn is gonna be replaced by someone even worse!

https://www.chuckedwardsforcongress.com/

The district is very red.
Cawthorn was "asleep at the wheel"...now they're putting a smarter jerk in there

It's like when Ted Cruz beat Lt Gov David Dewhurst in the primary. Hubby said, "Watch out Ted Cruz is extreme"...Well, that was an understatement on hubby's part............

[Mister Ed]

8. Fight back, Madison! Run as an independent!

It'd be nice to see the right-wing vote being split in the general. A fella can dream, can't he?

[Brother Buzz]

14. Bummer, North Carolina adopted that sore loser law.

[Norbert]

9. The election is rigged in three...two...one

Happy this POS is gone and hope it is just starters.

[LenaBaby61]

12. Or that pos liar will say that the Dems were responsible for his loss ....

[sarcasmo]

11. This makes my week, Karma has come calling.

[Ocelot II]

13. This might be his total undoing.

He's a hot mess who was an immature, entitled ass even before his accident. After that it seems he never was able to come to terms with what happened, so compensated by acting out and being as outrageous and transgressive as possible. He was far too immature and psychologically damaged to be a Congressman but it was all he had going for him - or all he thought he had going for him. Now that he's lost that, I expect him to either find an extreme right-wing outlet to help him stay in the spotlight, or start having serious substance abuse problems (if he isn't already), or, most likely, both. Without some drastic intervention things will not end well for him.

[LeftInTX]

32. Agree

[Hortensis]

58. Yup. Of course, he's just outgrown adolescence,

so there's a possibility he'll get more functional and build on whatever he's left himself. He does have a proven talent for self aggrandizement, but within the current RW insanity, itself extremely unstable.

Yours seems the more likely picture, certainly the most usual one, and fingers crossed. Continued self destruction for him and his extremist supporters.

[LeftInTX]

60. Maybe he will hit bottom, get help and turn away from politics

I was reading his bio in Wikipedia.
Seems like he was headed toward politics before his accident

Maybe he thought being in the spotlight helped him cope, but probably made him worse..

[Hortensis]

62. Sure. Or not hit bottom, just go on to do no more harm than

the right to vote confers on all of us.

[MerryBlooms]

16. Hopefully, his concession speech is the last we hear

From this creep. Although, he's probably already got a book deal. Wonder how much dirt he has on those repub coke orgies. 😄

[MontanaMama]

29. The good news is that his rubes

can’t read with any competence so they’re not likely to understand fuck all. He will have to buy his own books just like junior did.

[MerryBlooms]

31. 😄

[smirkymonkey]

18. No way!

I can hardly believe this. I am honestly having a hard time getting this through because they never seem to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming!

[Cha]

19. Ding Dong the Gaslit POS is Gone!

[dweller]

20. Well, there's one name

crossed off the cocaine orgy invitations …



✌🏻

[niyad]

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

[evolves]

24. Bye, Felicia

[MontanaMama]

30. Excellent.

[geardaddy]

64. LOL

[COL Mustard]

25. About fuckin' time!

Good riddance to the Congressboy!!!

[Traildogbob]

26. And he conceded

That close I thought for sure him and trump would do Stop the Steal insurrection in Raleigh.

[ancianita]

28. THAT is the important thing. Thank the universe that asshole is gone.

[Traildogbob]

33. Now we

Can drive around and not see his wheel chair campaign signs plastered everywhere. Makes for dangerous driving flipping off all those damn things.

[SergeStorms]

34. Awwwww.

Poor Maddy.

Wheel yourself out of the House of Representatives, Maddy. No more cocaine fueled orgies for you, dimwit.

The next time you try to carry a piece onto an airplane you're going to jail, motherfucker!

[VGNonly]

35. Maddy the Woodpecker

That's all folks!

[rpannier]

36. If only he hadn't run such a woke campaign

Should have run a Trump-like campaign
Should have tied himself more to Trump

[jmowreader]

41. I'm glad he ran a woke campaign

He woke the voters in his district the fuck up and they got rid of him.

[Lucky Luciano]

37. First rule of Sex Club is you don't talk about Sex Club

[orleans]

48. (hey--i see you had a du anniversary about a week ago...

happy 18th)

[Lucky Luciano]

54. Hah! So I did! Thx! 😊

[Hekate]

38. What do you want to bet he just stops going in to work?

If I had one wish for that little hyperaggressive overcompensating turd, it would be to take the salary he’s gotten from this gig and find a psychiatrist. That boy ain’t right.

[ancianita]

46. Or doubles down on the cray. Pelosi should let him nowhere near the Jan 6 hearings, or assign him

a minder.

[jmowreader]

40. At this point in time I can live with the Republican nominee for this seat getting in

Trust me, I would MUCH rather see that seat flip. But removing the loose cannon on deck that is Cawthorn is far more important, and that's done.

Hopefully Boebert and Greene also lose their primaries.

[LeftInTX]

61. I prefer that he stay in

He gives the GOP a bad name.....

Unless a Dem wins the seat.

The guy replacing him is a Ted Cruz type...

[ZonkerHarris]

42. I hope he runs as an independent

Split that vote baby!

[Galraedia]

45. He lost because he exposed his Republican collegues and their cocaine filled orgies.

Too bad he's too stupid to realize that it was republicans that leaked those videos and pictures of him. Well I think we know now why republicans vote in lockstep with each other. They're holding damaging information on their members.

[jmbar2]

47. What is he qualified to do now?

I'm glad to hear that he's going to be able to spend more time with his cousin. But it sounds like cousin has some high-flying tastes. So Maddie needs to get a job.

Having recently been looking for work myself lately, gotta say that it's more BRUTAL than anything I experienced in the past.

What is Maddie's next job?

[NCjack]

50. He is qualified to do nothing, except feeding at the government trough.

[HuskyOffset]

56. Wrong

He is the best at punching trees. The. Best.

I imagine the tree punching job offers are pouring in as we speak.

[NCjack]

57. Yes -- I forgot that. But, with his personality of a steaming pile, NC safety net will support him.

[LudwigPastorius]

49. I guess Madison can fully let his freak flag fly now.

...and by that, I, of course, mean this one:

[Coventina]

51. YaY! Now I will never have to say his name again!!!

[BigDemVoter]

52. Hell this just makes my evening. No, it makes my month.

That mother fucker can go back to hell.

[SpankMe]

53. NC's IQ just went up by 20 points. n/t

[Warpy]

55. I hope his parents have lot s of money

They're going to need to support his cigar habit and lavish lifestyle for the rest of his life as he tells everybody who will listen what a big shot he used to be in Washington.

Let's hope the other useless wastes of skin who got swept in on a wave of Q hysteria face the same fate---or get replaced by Democrats.

[Thtwudbeme]

67. This is why he is suing his friend for 30 million in damages from the wreck

I am not a lawyer- but, I am not sure he'll get that. My understanding is that the statue of limitations on damages from an accident in NC is 7 years. The wreck was in 2014.

[Warpy]

68. Depends on when he filed the case

He might have gotten it in last year, just under the wire. Some crook might have given him that advice, my guess is Meadows.

[dlk]

63. Unfortunately, Republicans have a very deep bench...

There will be others like him; we can count on it.

[samnsara]

65. when is this childs last day?

[lunatica]

71. After the November election I would think.

[Blue Owl]

69. It ain't over yet though -- Mad Caw disease has infested the GOP

[Rebl2]

70. Who will be

the republican primary opponent to the democrat?

[Wounded Bear]

72. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Wonder Why]

73. I live in his district

I live in his district and in NC, independents can vote in either primary but if there is a runoff primary, they must vote that same party if they want to vote. They cannot vote in one party's primary and the other party's runoff. A lot of my friends who register as independents and who voted, did so in the Republican primary specifically to vote against Cawthorn. Some went so far as to look at every candidate for every position they could vote on to see if they favored Trump and if so, voted for someone else.

[gopiscrap]

76. welcome to DU

[littlemissmartypants]

75. He's a no talent, illiterate prig and with his history of reckless driving I

Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up wrapping his fast car around a light pole or slides it sideways doing a switchback on the Blue Ridge Parkway in a rainstorm.
