Do we know anything about her? I had never heard of her. Is she conservative? Is she basically non-political? Is she even liberal on some issues?

Without knowing anything about her, and with the primary less than a month away, it’s a tough sell, in my opinion.

I don’t get a vote, not living there, but if I did, I think I would focus on other candidates to get my vote, rather than a caretaker who I know nothing about, who only got the job because of the family connnection. Just my opinion.

She was an obvious beard for Linda.

This is all a sick joke.

*If she can win, let her run.*
*Well, let her run. Its a free country. If she can beat the other contenders well.....*

Those seats are good(or lost) for 6 years. No room to gamble. It isn’t he house.

I hate it when the GOP tries to use inside connections or people with large sums of money to keep new candidates from bubbling up from the people.

She’ll run and win. Trump will endorse her and pull her into his inner circle.

NO! For this reason:

“Women in politics are not good.”
99% agree unless we can clone Margaret Thatcher.

As for experience?
What experience does a senator need anyway?
Anybody seen the people that are up there now?
One doesn’t even have to be a law school graduate to be on the Supreme Court.
(don’t even have to know what a woman is.)

Well, that didn’t take long. When you are that close to the levers of power and influence, it suddenly becomes quite difficult to just walk away virtuously ‘empty handed’ when your scheduled shift has ended.

All a Senator does is to vote the way we want them to.

A monkey could do it.

Exactly! We can do way better.

But...most of us don't live there. So in reality, we can't really do anything about it.

Does anyone know her deeply held politics, because once she adapts to her power and position as a United States Senator, her true politics will come out.

I won't argue with you. This has gone a long way toward destroying this nation.

**SC has open primaries. If RINO candidates aren’t kept out of the primaries, the Rats will cross in large numbers for the weakest RINO. The general then comes down to a RINO or a DSA senator. THAT is why she must be disuaded from running.**

That’s scary. Every democrat voting will have a say and the more republicans running will dilute the vote to the weakest candidate. We need stealth democrats on our side to step up and spout every rat talking point just to make sure the democrats have one of them.

Name identification and a surviving spouse or child often is a very strong candidate.
