South Carolina needs to elect someone who is not a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
Unfortunately, that is what the South Carolina establishment Republican party represents. Throw in SC's open primary system and you will likely get a Lindsay Graham clone.
Gowdy was one of the behind the scenes architects of the Gang of Eight immigration amnesty. He was leading the GOP House amnesty supporters in writing their own bill.
South Carolina voters are some of the most clueless in America when it comes to immigration. They probably have the worst elected politicians of any red state.
