She was an obvious beard for Linda.

She is his sister, not a cover for some imagined relationship. People's obsession with Graham's sexuality is a bit weird.

The only reason I was OK with her in the interim appointment was that I saw it as a way to not give any of the real candidates a leg up. If she wanted to run she should not have been given the interim seat.

She seems like a really nice lady but no one knows really anything about her..is she even a Republican? Just because she’s the sister of a Republican doesnt mean they share the same views, anyone can attest to the fact that relatives can share different political views

We’ll, it’s to be expected. She is on the gravy train now.

Thanks for the clarification.

Graham’s sexual weirdness was a basis for blackmail—and imho explains his warmonger tendencies.

If he was a drug addict (in secret) the issue would be the same—not because of my “obsession” about drug use but because it would be blackmail bait.

not no but HELL NO!
Trump should remind her she’s a caretaker and wasn’t invited to stay.
Please go away.
I hope Trump will stay out of this.
He’s done enough damage in SC already.

So, why do they keep getting stuck with neo-cons like Nikki, Lindsey, Gowdy, and Tim Scott?

I've lived here for almost eight years. One of the biggest problems is the open primaries. That is what is keeping most real conservatives from rising higher than House.

Going from local Parks & Recreation committee member to U.S. Senator is a big leap.

our state government is mostly corrupt and controlled by globalist establishment RINO’s.
open primaries has been a disaster.

Good Point!

NO!

This is idiotic. She’s another Lindsay, because they worked together on everything.

Anyone can run for the seat.

The extended Good Will and Glad Tidings will vanish now that it’s about Money and Power.

She’ll get her arse handed to her.

Just say “Thank You” and go away.

The word when she was first selected was that she was just going to finish out his term. I knew that was BS, power is a drug to these people.

Consider though that us wimmen are in politics in every nation. So we are perhaps equally “handicapped” on the world stage.

Any men on FR that think women should not be in office should be standing for every election. Get in there.
