'Hot mess' Madison Cawthorn faces judgment day in North Carolina

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. — In little more than a year in Congress, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., has become famous in political circles. On Tuesday, that could cost him his job.

"He's a hot mess," Susan Newman, 53, a teacher from nearby Laurel Park who voted for Cawthorn two years ago, said in the parking lot of an Ingles grocery store. "I really don’t see him doing anything in the district — and he just keeps getting in trouble."

That sentiment, echoed by several voters here who spoke to NBC News, suggests Cawthorn is in danger of getting the boot in Tuesday's hotly contested Republican primary for the 11th District seat.

-snip-

Political insiders here say it's Cawthorn's race to lose — and if he does, it will be his own fault.

Seeing that the GOP stands for nothing, has no policy initiatives, and are basically just trolls, what was Ms. Newman expecting?

The vote will be split between him and a bunch of other Republicans. Perhaps that was by design. If he faced just one person, he’d be toast.

I'll vote for the worst most destructive people on earth because I hate the libs? Sounds like a real shitty existence.
