In the NC gop primary there is no runoff if someone has a 30%+1 plurality. It was close.

“Oppo research” and “friendly fire” should be easier to tell apart.

It remains to be seen how Cawthorn will choose to spend his lame-duck months in the House.

If his home videos are any indication…

Depends on whether he’s got a campaign fund left to play with. I read two weeks before the primary that he was down to about $100k, with $300k in obligations. I don’t know if he sequestered any of the money he raised while “serving”, supposedly around $2 mil gross.

I wonder if, like the steele dossier, the juicier stuff was shopped first to the opposition. This time a quicker play opened up.

The same people who believe in Jewish Space Lasers and try to hook up with him or MTG on Tinder.

I think he’s more the wine to water kind. But he’s got that “mein führer, I can walk” shtick down.

He did nothing while in office aside from elevating his profile for the grift.

He has money squirrelled away and you’re right…he’ll be on the bible thumper circuit.

There’s a lot about Texas that I want to like, but it’s bathed in a sea of things that i can’t help but loathe.

Kinda like how California used to be, back when it elected folks like Ronnie Ray-Gun as gub’nor.

Every R has kompromat file - every one is beholden. This is how you quickly, meticulously, rewrite the story on a compromised incumbent, and throw them an anchor
