“If there are three opponents, it’s simply a suicide mission.”
OTOH, maybe not. South Carolina’s primary dictates that if a candidate doesn’t get 50% =1 of the vote, the top two finishers move on to a run-off to be held several weeks later.
There’s good reason to believe that Graham would be one of the the two. He does (rightly or wrongly) have a significant base of support to work with.
But if the other two candidates can gain some strength and raise some money, it’s not out of the question that Graham gets knocked off in the primary rather than the run-off.

If there are three opponents, it's simply a suicide mission. That's not how primaries work in SC. In the first election, if Graham doesn't get 50%+, then he'll be in a run-off with ONE opponent.
Quite different from presidential primaries.

50% = 1 is wrong.
I meant to type 50% + 1
Sorry.
To: JRandomFreeper
I stand corrected. Thanks. Tenn is winner take all and we do the suicide thing over and over

It's how we beat Dewhurst like a rented mule down here in Texas. ;) Dewhurst was up against 6 challengers, I believe.

I won't meet with any of my constituents but look, look, I fired a gun in South Carolina!! See, I was here!! We've got to give Linda just a little credit. She did hold two completely scripted "telephone town halls" last week.
She is clearly chickensh!t to meet with constituents where the rubber hits the road.

It looks like he’s wearing earplugs.
The same ones he wears when listening to his constituents.

But South Carolina has a runoff. So more candidates make it far more difficult for Graham to stay above 50%. Then, similar to Texas last year, itll be a fight between a conservative and a moderate. And in the mean time, Grahams vaunted warchest is depleted in two elections, just to get the nomination. He wont be cruising through to reelection unpposed.
******************************************************************
FReepers should, if they are able, support one (or more) of Little Lindsey’s challengers—with financial donations and/or volunteering of your time and efforts:
Let’s all refrain from attacking ANY of the challengers and save our fire for Lindsey Graham. Ignore TROLLS who try to instigate intramural warfare among Graham’s challengers—they are looking to advance Graham’s political interests.
Here are the challengers’ websites:
Lee Bright:

Nancy Mace:

Richard Cash:

Any return fire from Linda’s office would end in the statement: “take that you big brute!”

It does fit with the inauthentic dork profile of their loser candidate.
