I’ve been visiting South Carolina for a few weeks. The anti-Mace commercials and mailers have been unrelenting. One commercial chastises Mace for voting against a raise for Border Patrol agents. Of course, that was because she voted against an Omnibus bill.
For what it’s worth, some of the folks who live down here full time say that Mace’s turn rightward was concurrent with her ditching her staff, who reportedly were acolytes of McCarthy. They also say that Templeton is a disciple of Nikki Haley. Again, FWIW.
“For what it’s worth, some of the folks who live down here full time say that Mace’s turn rightward was concurrent with her ditching her staff, who reportedly were acolytes of McCarthy.”
That may be true but blaming the staff seems politically convenient IMO.
Some politicians improve their conservative ratings prior to seeking a higher office. It’s obvious that she would like to replace Lindsey Graham or Tim Scott.
