People overplayed their hand in SC. They fielded too many candidates thinking that was smart. It was not.
Same thing is going to happen in the 2016 primaries too if a lesson wasn’t learned here.
Put up a good candidate against a RINO and back that person. Don’t field a bunch who will cancel each other out allowing the RINO a win.
The problem is sorting out the wheat egos from the chaff egos.
The various candidates are so narrow in their strong beliefs that they all run believing them selves to be the Conservative Messiah
Most of their differences are so narrow they don’t matter but the candidates will not accept that point.
Everybody keeps talking about how great states with runoffs are but it sure doesn’t seem to be bearing much fruit. Seems that these races with 6 or 7 candidates are just increasing the incumbent advantage.
Agreed. Grahmnesty took advantage of an ancient principle:
"Divide and conquer..."
SC conservatives should look to Texas to see how it's done: There's a reason we're called, "the TEA Party" here.
Unifying to squelch individual candidate pettiness and field one good candidate has always been a viable strategy.
IMHO, it was too many greedy, "my way" SOBs on the ground in SC who handed the win to Grahmnesty...
