If a candidate runs as a Conservative and consistently betrays those values, all the money in the world won’t help.
Ask Romney.
“All of these other candidates are going to split whats left. Graham squeakes by with 52%..”
Not going to happen. The ads running against Graham have dropped his approval rating from 74% to 41%. South Carolina had a liberal RINO - Bob Inglis - who was defeated in the primary runoff by 71% to 27%. Trey Gowdy beat him handily. Graham is in big trouble.
For those new to the discussion of this primary contest ... Lindsey Graham Looks Extremely Vulnerable in South Carolina
If you can't say yet, ping me to the press release thread. .../johnny
Yea! What he said! /sotc
Lugar Graham ping. Major endorsement coming today ..... for Lee Bright!
Graham's most glaring vulnerability is his position on issues important to conservatives. If Connor can't battle him on those then step back and let the other two conservative candidates do it.
Me thinks Limpsey knows his political days are numbered. My fear is what he might do with out the restraint of having to lie to his constituents.
The Republican Liberty Caucus?
Good point. I don’t trust Linda...or Juan...as far as I can throw them.
Republican Liberty Caucus Endorses Lee Bright
Ding. Ding. Ding!
Nancy Mace can’t be too happy about this :-/
You really think that Inglis is not a liberal: Republican Rep. Bob Inglis Blasts GOP For Denying Global Warming
Former GOP Rep. Bob Inglis pushes market-based climate-change ideas
Okay, he’s a fascist.

I hope you're right. Gowdy would destroy linda.
Gowdy has gone squishy. He caught the Inglis disease.
Gowdy will not step up. Think Ditka.
Not when you understand how primaries work in South Carolina:
Voters who voted in a party's primary, can vote only in the runoff of the same party. Voters who did not vote in the primary, may vote in either party's runoff.
The primary is for Democratic and Republican candidates only. Candidates running unopposed for their Party's nomination will not appear on primary ballots.
Voters may not vote in a political party's runoff if they voted in another political party's primary. However, voters who did not vote in either politicial party's primary may vote in either politicial party's runoff.
A defeated primary candidate may not actively offer or campaign as a write-in candidate for the ensuing election. The use of posters or stickers on the ballot is not permitted. The voting machine provides for a voter to write-in a candidate. Write-in votes are not allowed in primary elections or the election of President or Vice-president.
While the state permits fusion (a candidate may be nominated by multiple parties), if a candidate runs for and looses a primary (of any party), the candidate cannot appear on the November ballot.
Yes, the National Republican Liberty Caucus.
FYI, this is the group that helped propel Cruz, Lee and Paul to victories in their primaries....which were all considered long shots at one time as well. Now look what’s happened.....those three are major national players. The RLC has studied all the SC candidates - and looks at Bright as the next member of this group of modern revolutionaries.
