I imagine she will get by beaten badly by whomever they come up with to run against her. It's a cult and South Carolina is the center of it, just like in the lead up to the Civil War.

And every glowing thing she wrote about him is complete bullshit. He was one of the most reprehensible humans to ever live in recent times. A power grabbing piece of shit who deserves nothing but our scorn, even in death. Lucky for me I don't have to "take the high road" and can type the truth. In my mind, it's the truth that sets us free, not plaudits we don't mean or believe.

Maybe if he stuck with his first assessment of Donald Trump when he called him a kook and unfit for office.

The man was a self loathing closeted hypocrite who attached himself to the powerful like a deer tick.

There was no friendship just business relationships that were two way uses that both parties strive for money and political power.

Only hos donors will mourn him because they did not get everything they bribed him for.

... she'll need a great deal of LG's moderate supporters to vote for her if we have any chance of flipping that seat.

Hope she wins.

She will be better for healthcare than Graham was.

He rubber stamped everything that Trump wanted in healthcare.

He did not join his friend, John McCain, in voting no against repeal of ACA.

Just a Guy.

Term used to describe an eminently replaceable player.

Trump's deplorable "I'm glad he's dead" post about Robert Mueller is public record, and it needs to be out all over the place now. Contrast it with these gracious words, and any human being who has a trace of decency in their character can clearly see the difference.

It's hard to resist the temptation to trash talk, especially with McConnell also hiding out and all that's going on there. What decent South Carolinians need to do is recognize the character being shown here and elect this woman to the Senate.
