Super Tuesday dealt another blow to the already shrinking bloc of House Republicans who prefer governance over political performance art, as several below-the-radar races delivered victories for the hard-right faction.
In Alabama, after redistricting thrust two incumbent Republicans into the same district, Rep. Barry Moore defeated Rep. Jerry L. Carl despite getting outspent by a more than 2-to-1 margin, relying on his ultraconservative credentials to topple Carl’s establishment-backed campaign.
In Texas, GOP primary voters nominated an election-denying first-time candidate who has promoted conspiracy theories to replace retiring Rep. Michael C. Burgess (R-Tex.), a genial doctor who is a member of the establishment-friendly Republican Governance Group.
A state representative with overwhelming backing from local Fort Worth GOP leaders got forced into a runoff election against a little-known businessman touting the endorsement of the state’s controversial attorney general. And Rep. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R), who was censured last year by the Texas GOP for dabbling in bipartisan dealmaking in the Capitol, also got forced into a runoff against a firearms manufacturer who now runs a YouTube channel focused on far-right ideology.
And while Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) won, he faced his first stiff primary challenge since his initial win in 2010, narrowly edging out a state legislator who was angry that Womack voted against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a MAGA darling, during the House speaker votes in October.

They really see it that way. These delusional hair-on-fire articles are so enjoyable.
This article almost suggests that Democrats are worried that the ever faithful “Voter Fraud” won’t be able to save their sorry a@@es this year.
Washington Compost.
It’s about time we had some good news reported.
People are watching two movies.
One is reality
The other is narrative
This article indicates that the MSM will adopt the same tactics of accusing their opponents of right wing extremism that have been used since the days when Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater were denounced as imminent threats to “democracy”. Their hypocrisy is evident when you see that Big Tech censorship, which has been encouraged by the Obama and especially the Biden Administrations, is far more restrictive of free speech than any actions taken against Communists and fellow travelers during the Red Scare.
Writer says MAGA is “hard right”.
ALL of the Democrats are hard left, so within their own group they are Team Normal. Within the whole group of ... well ... everybody, they’re Team Traitor.
Hard right? Good God....it’s been the *Rats* who’ve been insisting that DJT incited an erection!
Being for liberty and justice for all is “hard right” and “controversial” according to the radical commie left.
And the hard left wing of the Democrats is fiction, jackass?
“Hard” right — as apposed to flacid Rinos?
It will counter the hard left wing of the House.
absolute YEP!
This article is soooo bad I thought it had to be written by at least three ‘journalists.’
I have challenged my Democrat/Communist Party friends to find any substantive difference between the Democrat Party platform and the American Communist Party platform. They cannot. Oh, there are differences in wording and in other subtle ways, but there is no substantive difference. Hence, it is crystal clear the Democrat Party has devolved into the Party of Tyranny: the Democrat/Communist Party ... and it must be fought and defeated as such.
If most Republicans had been go-along moderate all along, most black people in this country would still be picking cotton.

WAPO is very clear as to who they like and who they do not like.
The WaPo is worried America may not become the Soviet Union.

No bias there.
