MANY voters will approach the notion of voting for her with the same attitude. So, they will scrutinize her pretty carefully. I certainly would. That’s a bit of a disadvantage, but OTOH she has the advantages of (last) name recognition and (potentially) Trump’s endorsement.
It is the job of the other candidates to show they are more qualified, have better ideas, and would represent the voters better than Ms. Graham would. If they don’t, that’s on them. I will grant you that conservatives too often put up candidates who would probably be at least a “B” in office, but are lousy at campaigning, debating, etc.
I really DO think that Trump, busy as he is, should have a good thorough discussion with her, perhaps with a couple advisors at his side, then consider seriously all the candidates who look “solid” to him, before giving her his endorsement for the run for the next full term.
I understand there will be problem with the Fry House seats if he becomes senator-elect. Does this mean a special election in February or March if Fry gets the nomination for the Senate?
