...a complete political upset...
_________________________________________
POTUS does not have a great record in his personnel picks. We need these young people, going forward.
I will keep an eye on Madison Cawthorn.
He was interviewed on F&F this morning. He did mention he was injured in a car accident several years ago, but as an aside to another question - I didn’t know he was in a wheelchair until this article. He did say he has talked with President and he has been invited to the White House.
He also once called the Clintons “very good people”. I know that he tends to butter up everyone, but his judgment on appointments has been disastrous.
Nikki Haley? She did everything but knight the loathsome racist Bubba Wallace, before his “noose” was exposed as a fake.
Caveat: Most judicial appointments have been v.g. He cannot be blamed for the leftist rat Gorsuch.
I think that this was one where he defers to Meadows and the NC GOP Party. The frequent gut instinct in todays WOKE Media environment is to go to a female candidate, as there seems to be a lower chance of background problem(s). HOWEVER, Mr Cawthorn gives every indication of being a superb candidate and I'm sending him a contribution for his campaign.
I saw the interview this AM. Very impressive young guy. It was really interesting (weird?) that all these ‘powerhouse’ conservatives endorsed his opponent and she got slaughtered. Madison was endorsed by Trump,Cruz, Meadows, Jim Jordan and a number of others.
I donno... I think it’s less of an upset for the president and more an entire rejection of Lynda Bennett’s running of effectively a national campaign instead of campaigning for local votes. The extremely impressive endorsement list by Madison Cawthorn is a who’s who of local politics, vs Lynda’s strange endorsement by Ted Cruz?
Most of Trump’s disasters are actually GOP disasters. He picked experienced insiders - only to find out they are the same kind of narcissistic sociopaths who make up the insiders in the other party. But as a new President with weak party support, he would have had on open war on his hands if he brought in a whole team of DC outsiders from business and state governments. This way, he only had a secret war to deal with...
In this 2015 article Madison said “I absolutely will run for Congress.”

True, but he had plenty of time to listen to loyalists before he picked the swine Chris Wray.
This kid lives near me. Bennett could have been beaten by a wet frog had it campaigned like Cawthorne did. She was out politicked by a kid who had more energy and determination. His signs and banners were everywhere and he busted her chops with instant radio rebuttals to her attack ads.
The last ad that ran in the final days last week had audio of her dumping on Trump “No Trump! Never, never, never”, which I assume was a quote from 2016.
Trump didn’t lose anything by this kid winning.
We LOVE this young man here. He and President Trump will have a great relationship. Madison is a motivational speaker and would be just the right person to speak at Trump’s rallies. And he’s such a pleasure to look at for us gals.
Romantically linked to Ben Dover.
Formerly dated I.P. Daily.
He sounds impressive!
We are sign up to canvas fir him in Murphy .
He interned for Meadows.
I guess he showed Meadows how to run a campaign .
His ads were everywhere .
Only 24 and he fulfilled his promise to run for Congress .
The wheel chair did it.

His fiancee is the one standing behind him in the first picture . . . she’s a Cross-fit competitor. And a local down here in Florida.
No. He will be a big plus.
I never could warm up to Lynda Bennett even though I love Meadows and he endorsed her. She got out-hustled and he is fully in the President's corner. Apparently a lot of others saw that as well, by 2-1.
