Do you live in SC? Because if you did, you’d know that these guys most certainly would pull crap like this.
You should see how many primary challengers ‘lost’ after they won the primary, because of ridiculous rules ‘discovered’ after the fact in our state house races. The people here are on a mission to expel these fsckers and they don’t want to be put out and they’ll do anything they can to stay in power. We’re going to get every last slimy one of them and Pansey is their pride and joy. We’re going to take him out in the most embarrassing way possible, primary or no.
I don’t live there. I’m glad you’re confident you’ll succeed. What I’m saying is, I doubt the SC GOPE is going to say “No primary this year, we’re going to choose our candidate... Lindey Graham!”
Might they try something underhanded? Sure. I just don’t think it could realistically be as straightforward as the article makes out.
