Populist strongman & nationalist pageantry

What is in a name? A lot! If not for the Graham name/relation the candidacy of a 28 year government bureaucrat with no political experience or private sector accomplishment would have been considered a farce by the majority of voters. The reality is neither the name or the presidential endorsement is going to show up for work in the senate. That 28 year bureaucrat that most people would have never seriously considered is who is going to show up. The one who admits she “never wanted to be in this position” and that “national security isn’t my thing”. Think before you vote SC.
South Carolina has the same values and morals as Trump

Interesting development in South Carolina. Republicans can disagree on candidates without losing sight of conservative principles. At the end of the day, voters—not endorsements—should decide who represents them in the Senate. 🇺🇸
To continue the ludicrous legacy of incompetent people throughout his administration and the GOP. Gang Of Pedophiles. Good luck with that. South Carolina is ready to flush out the rot and stench by voting Democrats in all ballots! Blue waves coming! 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

If that’s the choice Republican voters make, I hope they choose the candidate who will stand strong for South Carolina, support President Trump’s America First agenda, and put the interests of American families first. Ultimately, the voters should have the final say.
I didn’t agree with the endorsement, but the Republican Party of SC spoke. I hope she wins and now that she won the primary we should give her a chance- just like we did Trump- just like we did Reagan.
As much as I support and like Trump, this was a bad move for SC. He should have endorsed and supported Ralph Norman is anyone. He is the most conservative SC Republican in history.

Darline Graham Wins South Carolina GOP Senate Primary Runoff. Trump-backed Darline Graham beat Ralph Norman to win the Republican senate nomination as she looks to secure a full six-year
South Carolina is smarter and most are voting for Ralph.
I’m from South Carolina. I voted for Lindsey Graham. I voted for Trump, but I will not vote for a legacy seat to someone’s sister because they died. She is nowhere near qualified and for Trump to ask us to vote for her just because is a bit insulting
Me too! We were on the fence until the televised debate. I can't vote for someone who doesn't understand national security. I don't think Graham can be trusted with 6 years. Plus her campaign funds are coming in from Leftist Pacs. Tonight we went to hear Rep Norman in Anderson, SC. Pro-life, Save America Act, secure borders, anti-corruption, fiscal responsibility, the fighter we need in the Senate. Yes!
