Why the HELL does Lindsey Grahamnesty keep getting voted into office in South Carolina??

Will there EVER be better GOP Senate candidates in SC that can defeat this POS???

We conservatives in SC are trying, believe me. Unfortunately, SC has open primaries which allows the RATS to cross over and vote for linda. Then, because SC is a conservative state at heart, linda wins the general and gets reelected. linda knows this and uses this for maximum effect. She has a job for life and knows it.

The legislators in SC need to get their stuff together and pass a law doing away with open primaries. Then we could see a change.

We have run some good candidates like State Senator Lee Bright that would blow linda’s doors off but the open primary is a spoiler.

Look for Flake to run as a Dem for his current seat.

Great Point. Open primary. These need to cease in all states.

I agree. Primaries should be for party members only.

Interesting... thanks. That's really too bad you have open primaries - look at the result! That does not seem right. Even here in The People's Republic of Connecticut we have closed primaries. For what good it does... we're a deep blue 'RAT state.

I know you conservatives in SC are trying your best. I'm certainly not blaming you! :-)

Look at the a-holes Connecticut has in the House and Senate... Ugh. 'Nuff said, right?

The Schumer Shutdown puts people who are not citizens above members of the military.
