Will Lindsey Graham Get 50 Percent?

REPUBLICAN” VOTERS COULD NOMINATE A LIBERAL ON THE FIRST BALLOT

Liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.) has done everything within his power to alienate Republican primary voters in “conservative” South Carolina – supporting far left Supreme Court justices, backing multiple tax hikes and shamelessly shilling for the Obama administration’s domestic spying apparatus.

Among other things …

He should be toast in a GOP primary, in other words … and yet he’s not. In fact Graham may win the GOP nomination outright on June 10 after failing to draw a “big name” challenger in his most vulnerable of primary seasons.

You just gotta love “Republican” voters in the “reddest state in America,” right?

Anyway, multiple sources familiar with various internal campaign tracking polls tell us Graham is at or above the 50 percent threshold he must hit on June 10 in order to avoid a runoff election. Should Graham fail to hit 50 percent, he would square off against his top-performing GOP challenger on June 24.

That’s potentially a “danger zone” for Graham – but his massive cash advantage and the condensed two-week time frame of a runoff election both work in his favor (making it difficult for a prospective opponent to raise additional money and mobilize campaign resources). This website has argued in favor of extending the runoff period, but that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon – and it obviously isn’t going to happen during this election cycle.

In other words even if Graham draws an electable Republican in a runoff election (and as far as we can tell Charleston businesswoman Nancy Mace is the only Graham challenger fitting that description), he would still be an overwhelming favorite to win the nomination.

Crazy, isn’t it?

Nonsense yourself. Go back and read the news reports about the Senate vote on the Ryan-Murry budget deal. Graham and Ayotte tried to kill it because of the cuts to disabled veterans. Google the news stories about it. The media reported (accurately) that the Senate initially was worried they didn't have the votes. The so called heroes and Tea Party jerks in the House voted yes and went Christmas shopping.

I believe we were limiting the list to Republicans. Every Dem would be on it! lol

The opposition has to coalesce in order to beat an incumbent.

We keep waiting for a perfect candidate, and when one (surprise!) doesn’t appear, we get more Grahamnesty politicians.

I know the “split the vote” philosophy is popular, but it isn’t working.

They will send him back. People just don’t understand what Brietbart is calling an “Obama Republican”. You would think, after all Graham has done (and NOT done) he’s be an easy target. I will not vote for him either.
