SC, like Texas, Georgia, other very red states….can sometimes get comfy country club Republicans in position of power….because it doesn’t take a great Republican to win in these states. Add that to the fact that LG was not this bad 12-15 years ago……and it’s easy to see how. Remember, Cornyn wins in Texas, Chambliss won in Georgia, Cochran in Mississippi…….it happens.
That is quite true, but some red states are turning a bit blue around the gills too, due to demographics shifts. I was wondering about SC because my familiarity with the state is very out of date.
