Eighteen months after an insurgent “MAGA” movement took over the Greenville County Republican Party, the South Carolina GOP headquarters that’s at odds with the group is planning to seize control of the county party’s upcoming local organizational efforts.
State party Executive Director Hope Walker said the move is rooted in concerns that the leadership of the county party has alienated mainline Republican voters who state leaders want to attract as they look to the 2024 election cycle.
Jeff Davis, chairman of the Greenville GOP, called the state’s intervention a “tyrannical” power grab using dirty tricks to find any justification to seize control.
It’s the latest expansion of what has been an acrid rift along the fault line of perceived loyalty to former president Donald Trump and lingering grievances over the 2020 election.
Next month the party will conduct its precinct reorganization, a biennial effort that culminates in a county convention. It’s a vital fundraiser with pomp and circumstance, with the aim of recruiting and mobilization.

Jeb Bush's loss in South Carolina in 2016 ended his campaign.
The SC GOP want to grease the skids for their preferred non-Trump candidate (Nikki McRomBush or Tim McRomBush) by controlling the organizations. Recall that Lindsey Graham expected to get the SC favorite son vote in 2016 but that didn't happen. The stop-Trump, split-the-vote machine is gearing up, and they will fail again. We are not returning to the "good 'ol pantywaist nominee" days, despite all their insidious backroom machinations.
No. We can’t go back to the RINO ways.
An strong effort should be made to take over the State GOP by MAGA.
I was at a Bluffton Republican Party event in 2016 where a straw vote was taken. Graham got zero votes.
I have been watching the Alec Murdaugh murder trial and find the corruption among the lawyers, bankers, law enforcement, and judges is vast in South Carolina.
So I am not surprised to see corruption among the politicians in SC.
Isn’t that where the late Lee Atwater came from?
Wicked Greenville.
