Nope.
Conservatives will never learn or accept the fact that they are wanted in the Republican Party only to the extent they accept, support, and vote for the Party’s Liberal nominee.
I haven't seen any analysis of the voting in the SC primary, but Linda only got 55% against five or six weak candidates. I bet, since a Dim doesn't have much chance to win a senate seat in SC that Dim crossovers just vote for Linda in the Republican primary as matter of routine.
These open primaries are insane, unless some of the powers that be want such crossover voting to be possible.
