North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R) is not a good person.

For starters, hes a liar. During his 2020 campaign, he claimed that in 2014 he was on his way to the Naval Academy when a car crash left him paralyzed from the waist down. He has also noted that he was a successful businessman. But both claims were lies. Cawthorn had already been rejected from the Naval Academy before the car accident occurred and, according to tax records, the real-estate investment firm that he founded in 2019 claimed no income.

But that didnt matter to his constituents, who were pleased to elect the youngest member of Congress believing him to be an astute real estate businessman who was on his way to serving the country before an unfortunate twist of fate.

But Cawthorn didnt stop there. Since taking office, hes claimed that he was training for the 2020 Paralympic Games until his disability began to worsen, causing him to opt out. The problem with the statement is that no one in the Paralympics was familiar with Cawthorns possible participation. While the statement isnt necessarily false, its most likely untrue. Let me explain. Before I got married, I would tell women I was dating that I was well on my way to playing in the NBA until an unfortunate knee injury ruined my basketball dreams. If you asked anyone in the NBA, they would give you some of the same stunning, quizzical looks that Ketanji Brown Jackson gave during her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. But that doesnt mean I didnt believe that my training wasnt going to get me to the league.

My assessment of Cawthorn is not a personal reflection: One of the lawmakers former staff members has called him a bad person and a habitual liar.

As far as the candidate himself, I mean, hes just a bad person, former staffer Lisa Wiggins said in a secretly recorded phone call with David Wheeler, the president of a political action committee called Fire Madison Cawthorn.

Hes a habitual liar and hes going to say and do anything he can to your face but behind your back, hes completely opposite, she added.

Wiggins went on to note that his district office was littered with alcohol bottles and added that there was more liquor in his office than water, because he treats the place like a frat house.

Which is ironic, considering he was caught lying about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) being an alcoholic when she doesnt even drink. And we cant forget the whale of a whopper (maybe?) he told about being invited to orgies and seeing Congress members doing cocaine in front of him. He was finally reprimanded for this statement by his fellow Republicans.

But heres the rub. Despite all of these tall tales that would likely sink a Democrats political future and all but ensure that they would be a one-term politician, Cawthorn is merely in a tight race for his seat.

This appears to be the way for the Republican Party: Candidates can be as vile, despicable, untrustworthy, horrid, deplorable, unpatriotic and whatever other adjectives one would use to describe Florida Sen. Ted Cruz, as they want while Democrats are forced to be the parents in the room. Currently, Democrats are facing tough questions around inflation, the war in Ukraine, gas prices, housing prices and climate change. As it stands, Republicans latest hustle appears to be blaming President Joe Biden for everything from Russias invasion of Ukraine (they claimed it only happened because Biden is weak) to high gas prices (hes holding back production of oil in the United States).

The shots against the president were so bad that Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) came to his defense after the House Republicans official Twitter account tweeted a photo of Biden walking away from a podium with the caption: This is what weakness on the world stage looks like.

Its not just an attempt to undermine the presidency. It falls in line with what appears to be the Republican agenda: tear the country apart while pushing wild conspiracy theories and manufactured beefs. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) has said that Muslims dont belong in government; mass shootings in Parkland, Sandy Hook and Las Vegas were staged; and California wildfires were not natural events but were actually started by secret Jewish space lasers and she believed all of this before she was elected to Congress.

Currently, the junior varsity Trump, Ron DeSantis, is in a fight with Disney over his states draconian and mind-numbingly stupid Dont Say Gay bill. While America has its eyes on the unprovoked war in Ukraine, the Florida governor is in an all-out war with The Greatest Place on Earth.

Because Congress is not a unified front, Democrats are busy governing the country and putting out Jewish laser forest fires that Republicans keep starting. Congress has never been a happy home, but what used to be outliers to a fundamental way of thinking have now become the basis of the aluminum foil party. Theyre wasting time fighting imaginary wars against so-called cancel culture (which does not exist) and wokeism, which for the uninitiated can easily be defined as anything that goes against GOP doctrine. By tearing down the fourth wall of decorum, Republicans have created a playroom that allows for meltdowns, temper tantrums, out-there theories and unsubstantiated statements, which enables them to be full-bodied politicians who can present however they choose.

The party that once prided itself as fiscally responsible or closer to God than the rest of us is now the party of insurrections, crusades against critical race theory and defending Russian President Vladimir Putin and they arent losing voters because of it. Its like one day the Republican party had a spine albeit a significantly crooked spine that pointed to archaic jurisprudence and racism but a spine nonetheless, and then Donald Trump took office and blunt, off-the-cuff, unadulterated and unfiltered soundbites became the new GOP.

This isnt the party that former president and GOP god Ronald Reagan exemplified; in fact, Reagan probably wouldnt sit at this Republican cafeteria table. But this is the shakily built political landscape that we live in, in which up is down and the right is allowed to be not only batshit crazy but potentially criminal.

Currently, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz is facing accusations that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and engaged in sex trafficking. Not only has he not resigned from office, but hes one of the most outspoken politicians in Congress. Ohio Sen. Jim Jordans entire time in public office will forever be shrouded by the claims from former Ohio State wrestlers that, during his time as an assistant wrestling coach, Jordan knew that the student athletes were being sexually assaulted and did nothing to stop it. And dont forget that in 2018, Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore was so allegedly predatory that The New Yorker reported that he was banned from a local mall because he preyed on teens and he barely lost his election.

But Im sure there is an explanation as to how Republicans lost their moral compass. If we could only get access to Hillary Clintons emails or Hunter Bidens laptop, Im sure wed find it.

Republicans Temper Tantrums Should Hurt Them At The Ballot Box. Instead, Theyre Hurting Democrats. - HuffPost

Although analysts disagree on the magnitude of the coming Republican midterms rout, few believe that Democrats will retain their House majority. Despite a few losses during redistricting, Republicans need to net only five more seats to win the Speakers gavel.

The Senate landscape is a bit more uncertain for the GOP. Whereas Democrats are defending four incumbents in competitive seats, Republicans have two vulnerable incumbents and three open seats in states that could go either way. Former President Trumps controversial endorsements in some of these primaries may be dividing, more than uniting, Republicans, which could prove problematic come the November elections. Still, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is spending widely to maximize the chances of Senate Republicans netting the one more seat they need to make him the chambers majority leader.

But even if the Republicans win majority control in both chambers of Congress in November, what exactly will they have won?

Without question, Republicans will win the three most cherished legislative powers: control over the legislative agenda; committee chairmanships; and investigatory discretion. But they may get more than they bargain for, and Trumps power may grow in Washington, even in absentia.

This means that shortly after the new Congress is sworn into session, House Republicans are likely to shut down the Jan. 6 commission and launch an investigation into Hunter Bidens financial activities. Part of the purpose is to downplay the insurrectionist (and possibly criminal) activities of fellow Republicans, while attempting to normalize the allegations of nepotistic corruption by Trump with a whataboutism strategy for President Bidens family. Despite what House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says, some Republicans are champing at the bit to impeach Biden to discredit him in advance of 2024.

This issue sheds light on McCarthys other problem. He believes winning will make him Speaker, but with the possibility of more far-right members joining his conference, his elevation to the position is likely to garner some challenges including perhaps, one from Mar-a-Lago. And even assuming McCarthy wins the gavel, a Republican majority with fewer institutionalists is likely to make controlling the agenda in the House difficult. Plenty of pests may spoil this partys unity picnic.

While a future Majority Leader McConnell will not likely be able to advance much policy in a closely divided Senate, the Republicans would be in position to obstruct, and possibly defeat, several of Bidens nominees to the federal courts. Still, herding McConnells conference around a single political agenda when Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has released his own proposals already and a few Trump-boosting senators (Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Tim Scott of South Carolina) may launch presidential runs, could prove exasperating at best.

And lets face it, neither McCarthy nor McConnell is currently well-regarded. According to a recent survey by The Economist-YouGov, they have higher net negative approval ratings (McCarthy is at -15 percent and McConnell is at -31 percent) than Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who is at -12 percent, and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is at -8 percent. Do they believe that more high-profile obstructionism will make voters like their party more next year?

Further, if culture war issues are all that are on the Republicans policy agenda, will the public persist in blaming Biden and the Democrats first-year spending spree for high inflation and a faltering economy, or will they be reminded of why they wanted Trump out of the White House?

Republicans winning congressional majorities on the backs of conspiracy-believing populists who are committed to overturning the last election and working with like-minded state officials to rig future elections is not a positive outcome for the country even if you prefer conservative policies over liberal ones. Because, as Juleanna Glover and Kalee Kreider explained earlier this year, Whats really on the ballot isnt one party or another; its democracy itself.

But even aside from this high-minded appeal, the bizarre truth of the 2022 midterm elections is that the Republican Party may be better served by losing. Losing, which might be defined as giving up a couple more Senate seats to the Democrats and netting fewer than 20 House seats, likely would undercut Trumps boss-like power in the party and allow the GOP to position itself more favorably as the out-party in 2024.

It should be recalled that the shellacking the Republicans gave the Democrats in 2010 didnt help them secure the White House in 2012. McCarthy and McConnell may want to be careful what they wish for this November.

A GOP win is a loss for everyone including Republicans - The Hill

No one can say they werent properly informed. The Democrats weaponized impeachment, Ted Cruz said on his podcast earlier this year. They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. This reveals the underlying cynicism of these pending efforts. Republicans are warning in advance that this is all really just political payback for Trumps impeachments.

To some, this will look like standard operating procedure, GOP rule akin to what House Republicans did after retaking the chamber in 2010, when they quickly launched seemingly hundreds of bogus investigations aimed at weakening the Obama administration and, later, the Democrats expected 2016 nominee, Hillary Clinton. These inquiries, whether they were examining the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal or the assault on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, were never really about uncovering the truth. They were about doing political damage and feeding red meat to the GOP base. Republican voters want their elected officials to wage total war on Democrats about the kinds of things that Carlson and other Fox News hosts whine about every evening. The Republican base is even more radical now than it was during the Obama years, when it stopped short of passing unwarranted articles of impeachment. Kevin McCarthy will wave through any move to impeach the president, however illegitimateand regardless of the chances of removal in the Senate. Otherwise, he would be ousted from his leadership role.

The distant silver lining is that all this may backfire. The good news for Democrats is that impeachment is one of the few processes in our politics in which the public has the time and space to truly deliberate on the merits and come to something resembling a reasoned assessment of the facts, wrote Paul Waldman in The Washington Post earlier this year. Impeaching Biden might ultimately rescue him from a public sentiment standpoint, particularly given how ridiculous such charges are likely to be.

The Republicans Are Going to Spend Two Years Impeaching Joe Biden Over and Over Again - The New Republic

This is an opinion column.

Youve met him before, my Reasonable Republican friend. Ive mentioned him in previous columns, shared his insights, his perspectives on some of the hot buttons out here making folks apoplectic.

Sometimes we agree. Quite often, in fact.

Sometimeswell, our friendship matters more.

Weve known each other since high school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Weve laughed and shared and debated for decades, so many we no longer calculate. Decades as we navigated the evolution of our respective lives. As he became a doctor, an OBGYN in Texas. As he obtained a Theology Masters. All while feeding his passion for sailing.

Most of all, weve respected each other at every juncture of the journey, through every back and forth.

We treasure what we have in common far beyond anything upon which we may differ.

Like me, hes a Christian, so our views are shaped and guided by our faith. By the greatest commandment. By Love thy neighbor. Period.

Politically, he describes himself as a fiscally conservative social liberal.

As I scratched my head, he explained: One who believes in less government regulation of trade, lower taxes, but advocates coordinated private assistance to those in need and seeks to be neither judgmental nor, worse, prejudicial.

Sounds reasonable.

Yet my RR friend grew frustrated as his party abandoned large swathes of policiespolicies that may be nuanced or complicated, or perhaps beyond the comprehension (or interest) of the average voter. Like trade. Like pursuing for their region the millions of federal dollars allocated each year to build and rebuild outdated roads, bridges, stormwater systems, and the like, no matter who occupies the Oval Office.

Hes exasperated with Republican lawmakers who hold their noses at any position or policy that might actually enhance lives. Like, in our state, Medicaid expansion. Or providing rural residents in places such as the Black Belt with systems that dont spit raw sewage, not their yard.

Hes even more agitated at the Republicans gluttony for red-meat social hot buttons. For Boogiemen.

Like eradicating a womans personal choice before shes likely to even know shes pregnant.

Like suppressing Black voters under a Trump-fueled delusion of fraud.

Like flailing on about critical race theory when most of them cant define it.

Like whatever they were mad at Judge (soon to be Supreme Court Associate Justice) Ketanji Brown Jackson about during confirmation hearings. Whatever made them act with ignorant petulance.

UNITED STATES - MARCH 24: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., left, questions witnesses as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, looks on, on the fourth day of the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Bidens nominee for Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, in Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill, on Thursday, March 24, 2022. (Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Imag

Texas should uniformly be embarrassed by [Sen.] Ted Cruz, my RR said after the Republican senators histrionics with a childrens book. As a Black man, I hope you dont think the Cruzes and [Sen. Lindsey] Grahams in any way speak for white America (Oh, did I mention my RR friend is white?)only twisted, perverse, self-serving, vocal judgmental white America.

Alright then. No, I told him, I dont broad-brush all whites with the pitiable, commandment-defying antics of white Republican lawmakersnationally or in our own blood-red state.

Our Republicans aimed their ignorance and fear at transgender youth just trying to live just as Bull Connor aimed firehoses at children just trying to live free almost 60 years ago.

Their new all-but unenforceable, big-government laws are embarrassing intrusions into the lives of trans youth (like where they can handle natural body functions), their families, and their physicians. They dont protect children, as Republicans lamely claim, but bully and demean them.

Stupid laws, my RR friend asserts. Born of fear and misunderstanding by people who think transgenders are people who are somehow perverted rather than simply people whose genetic makeup has misaligned their psyche with their physical form. Fear that they are also somehow sexual predators.

The transgender population makes up what, 0.4%?, he says. One-point-four million out of 350 million. It shouldnt even be an issue.

Yet another point of agreement.

Of his party, my RR friend went right to Scriptureto Romans 1: 21:

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became future and their foolish hearts were darkened.

There is no moderate wing of either party, as far as I can tell, he texted recently (not one of the points upon which we wholly agree, though I digress). But there is no more embarrassing position than the far-right yuck. Its really a shame. People used to be able to be Republicans without being embarrassed about it. Lately, I find them on the wrong side of every single issue I care about. Theres no safe space anymore for a fiscally conservative social liberal.

No safe space, it seems, for a Reasonable Republican.

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 29: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) talks to reporters following the weekly Senate Republican policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol on March 29, 2022 in Washington, DC.

I dont want to believe that, honestly. I dont want to believe my friend is the last Reasonable Republican. I want to believe there are more out there like him. More Republicans who really believe in less government and more empathy.

More Republicans who love their neighborseven those different from themselves. Those whose choices they dont understand or embrace.

More Republicans who are guided by faith, not fear. By compassion, not condemnation.

More Republicans

My RR friend is so infuriated with his party right now that he shared this: You can even call me your Reasonable former Republican physician theologian sailing friend.

Reasonable Republicans, if there are any of yall left out there, please stand.

Reasonably soon.

In case you missed it: the Idaho Capital Suns coverage of the state of the Idaho Democratic Party

Because they have long held a supermajority and dominated Idaho politics, next months Republican primary elections are expected to be among the most competitive and influential races in a vital election year for Idaho.

Based on decades of political dominance in Idaho and Democrats not running candidates in most races, the May 17 Republican primary elections will answer the question of who controls the Republican Party and, therefore, sets the policy and political agenda for years to come.

With the closed primary, that has become basically the general election because Idaho is such a strong red state, said former Republican Speaker of the Idaho House Bruce Newcomb.

The 2022 elections are the most important elections in years. All 105 seats in the Idaho Legislature are up for election, and all statewide offices, including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction are up as well.

History and electoral dynamics are certainly on the Republicans side. Although the Idaho Senate was split 21-21 in 1991 and 1992, the Republicans have controlled a majority in the Idaho Legislature since 1959, with the exception of those two years.

Republicans have also won every statewide office since 2002, when Democrat Marilyn Howard was re-elected superintendent of public instruction.

And even before a single vote in the 2022 elections is counted, Republicans know they will continue to enjoy a supermajority in 2023. Of the 105 legislative seats up for election this year, there are no Democrats running for 60 of the seats.

For the 2022 elections, the goals are clear, Idaho Republican Party Chairman Tom Luna told the Idaho Capital Sun. Republicans want to retain every statewide office and expand their supermajority in the Legislature. Theyre also looking to expand their political empire beyond the Statehouse.

Most recently we have been involved with what traditionally have been nonpartisan offices to get more conservative voices at the school board and city and county level, Luna said. That is the nature of success, keep what we have and expand what we have.

Supermajorities have interesting and complicated effects on elections and politics, said Jaclyn Kettler, associate professor of political science at Boise State University.

Republicans holding such a large majority in the state, whether you look at all the statewide offices or a supermajority in Legislature, actually provide some challenges to both parties, Kettler said. Republicans have internal division and Democrats face a few struggles, and one is perhaps even being able to recruit candidates to run.

Luna said the primaries are when Republicans hammer out their differences and decide which direction the party will head.

As I travel around the state, its still very clear to me Republicans agree on 80% of policy and 80% of values, but it is during the primary we debate the 20% we dont agree on.

Its pretty clear we have legislative candidates that represent different wings of the party, Luna added. As a state party, we dont get involved with supporting candidates in the primary. We let the voters decide.

But Idaho Democratic Party chair Rep. Lauren Necochea, D-Boise, said division within the Republican Party isnt merely about debating policies about how to cut taxes and reduce government regulation. She said the Republican Party and the Idaho House have moved farther to the right and pushed divisive and extremism.

Idahoans in all walks of life are seeing extremism play out in the Idaho Legislature and are deeply concerned about the future of our state, Necochea said. Examples she gave included reducing funding for higher education and the library commission, GOP efforts to remove a statute that protects librarians from imprisonment, passing a Texas-style abortion law and the Republicans focus on so-called indoctrination and critical race theory in school.

Newcomb, a Republican who held the Houses top leadership position from 1999 through 2006, said he is worried about how the closed Republican primary election, which is only open to voters affiliated with the Republican Party, politicizes the party.

The big thing is we have become much more partisan, particularly the Republican Party and factions in dissent within the party, Newcomb said. If you look at Take Back Idaho, which includes (former state Republican officials) Ben Ysursa, Jim Jones, myself and Bob Geddes, we are concerned about the state Legislature in terms of addressing policy rather than conspiracy theories. There are factions (in the GOP) where we have CRT, critical race theory and those people buying into those stuff. Basically, in the beginning, hardly anybody could define it and no matter how much you shoot at it, it just keeps rising up. Now it is present in a lot of peoples campaigns and it shouldnt be.

Since helping launch the Take Back Idaho PAC and saying he wants to push for the removal of extremists from the Legislature, Newcomb has been called a RINO, or Republican in Name Only.

Newcomb said the name-calling and meanness is illustrative of the partys shift and problems.

The other thing is campaigns have become so ugly and dissident that good people are reluctant to get involved.

Newcomb said Republicans deserve the blame for the division and extremism that has crept into the party and for underestimating the sophistication of divisive social media content.

A lot of it is people, like myself, were kind of asleep at the switch and thinking this will correct itself but it just keeps gaining momentum, Newcomb said.

Political scientist David Adler, the president of the nonprofit Alturas Institute in Idaho Falls, said the party has shifted so far to the right he doesnt see much distinction between Idaho Republicans, particularly in the Idaho House of Representatives. If there are differences, Adler said they should be measurable such as differences in voting records or by elected officials who stand up and denounce policies such as cutting funding for libraries and education or pursuing a bill that critics worried could lead to jailing libraries for material harmful to minors.

Adler points to two bills over the past two years that he says are illustrative of the state of the Republican Party in Idaho. One is this years abortion law, Senate Bill 1309. Every Republican but Rep. Fred Wood, R-Burley, voted for it and GOP Gov. Brad Little signed it into law. (Wood is retiring and will not return to the Idaho Legislature next year).

The other is the so-called anti indoctrination, anti critical race theory bill from 2021. The only Republican to vote against House Bill 377 was Sen. Dan Johnson, R-Lewiston.

Its one thing to say you represent a more moderate wing of the Republican Party and offer a distinctive voice than that offered by the far right, Adler said. But if in fact your voting record mirrors the far right, then essentially there is no moderate conservative wing in the Republican Party.

Adler thinks the move to the right could eventually be damaging to the Idaho Republican Party, but it will take Idahoans deciding GOP policies dont work for regular Idaho families and launching a sustained move to attract independent and moderate voters to reshape the Democratic Party.

It would marginalize the far right in Idaho; it would place them on an island, Adler said.

For his part, Luna disagreed with Adler, Newcomb and Necochea.

We have a physiological difference on the proper role of government, Luna said. You have one side that really believes the answer is bigger government and more programs, right, more government programs. On the other side, Republicans insist on less government and know you need strong families. So everything we do should be building strong families, whatever your definition of families. We dont need big government where families are weak and not able to function as a unit and rely more and more on government programs. It is a different approach, where we want to strengthen families and strengthen the support system.

Luna said Republicans resisted extremism and anti-government activist Ammon Bundy, an independent candidate who originally announced he would run for governor as a Republican before going independent.

You saw that play out in its natural course, Luna said. He was not a Republican, he had never voted as a Republican and he realized he didnt have a place in the Republican Party and became the poster child of a RINO.

Luna said Republicans get criticized for their beliefs and infighting and but dont get enough credit for their accomplishments.

When I talk to the national press, I remind them we are the least regulated state and have one of the best economies in the country with two years in a row of massive tax cuts and rebates, Luna said. Its not an accident. Its the result of a robust and engaged Republican Party. When you write whats wrong with the Republican Party? or whats the future of the Republican Party? remind people it is that same Republican Party that created one of the fastest growing states, a state that is so attractive to others because of low regulations, reduced taxes and what I believe is a good education system for the money we spend.
