Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate in South Carolina condemns Lindsey Graham
X ^ | April 10 | Mark Lynch

@MarkLynchSC

Lindsey Graham has betrayed South Carolinians for over 30 years, and they know it. That’s why he was booed for seven minutes straight in Pickens.

On June 9th, South Carolinians will replace this feckless, war-mongering traitor!

HOLY.. What a Video!

He also directly asks Trump how he can support a "traitor" like Graham who told him to go to hell (once).

Genius. Super impressed with this gentleman. I think you will be too...

Lynch supports Thomas Massie. Figures you’d be on the Lynch bandwagon.

He’s so eloquent and plain-speaking.

Methinks Lindsey Graham has a fight on his hands. For once.

It's April. And South Carolinians are the only ones whose votes will be counted, in spite of the seeming fervor in these threads.

June 9, 2026: Primary
June 23, 2026: Primary runoff
November 3, 2026: General election

Lots of opinions, but the simple fact is that these elections are open, so voters can cross party lines if they wish. All of the heated rhetoric is noise, as all election year politics often is. As far as my bride and I are concerned, President Trump is "on the ballot," and his voice counts, just like Lynch and Graham. We're not keen on Graham, but the Lynch alliance with Massie looms large, and we're thinking in the primary to cross party and vote for the weakest possible Democrat to muddy up their waters, as they muddy up ours.

He supports Massie. That’s all I need to know. Anybody that supports Massie OR RAND PAUL should join the Democrat Party.

Linda will win handily.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He has the support of millions of workers who owe him their livlihood from US Defence contractor jobs.Linda has done a good job at it.

The guy, MArk Lynch, is a massive Massie supporter, an outright idiot.Lynch wants a piece of the Lindy Graham defense spending pie in his pocket.Massie also rides on Linda’s coat tails.Linda won’t give Massie a big enough cut.

*****************************

https://beaufortmec.com/the-numbers-are-in-south-carolinas-military-economy/


Looking at South Carolina in particular, the Department of Defense invested $6.3 Billion in the state in fiscal year 2022 which amounted to 2.1% of state GDP and over $1,100 per South Carolina resident. South Carolina ranked middle of the pack at 26 in the nation for total defense investment and similarly in defense contract and grant spending (28th and 27th in the nation respectively). Our own Beaufort County is a key portion of the state’s total defense investments with $182.9 million in defense contract spending plus $325.6 million in defense personnel spending taking place within the county’s borders. Beaufort can also boast the largest concentration of active duty military personnel in the state with close to 10,000 active uniformed servicemembers, just edging out Richland county.

While these numbers can prove just how much defense spending provides to South Carolina and our local communities, the most encouraging data this report provides is our state’s positive trend of growth in military spending. South Carolina increased its share of US defense spending from 2021 to 2022 by over $200 million dollars and rose in nearly every category measured by OLDCC’s data. Beaufort in particular saw a whopping rise of $60 million in defense contract spending across this same time period. These are numbers that every citizen of the state and of Beaufort County can be proud of and we hope to see them continue to rise as South Carolina supports this nation’s strong military and increases prosperity for residents across the state. “

Guilt by association? We’re better than that

Let the people of SC decide. They might be in the mood to dump their long time senator.

Like in Texas.

Also, Lynch has the money to be on TV and be a genuine choice

Perfect. Lindsey’s in a fight and Trump would not even mention this race if the polls were showing well for Mr. Lynch

And? Supporting Linda Graham because President Trump is butt hurt with Massie is cult-like behavior.

Feckless? War-mongering? Okay, I can understand some people feeling that way. But how exactly is Graham a traitor?

Also, why assume ex-military folks/communities support constant War and the neocon, globalist agenda?

I remember Ron Paul had the support of LOTS of veterans so think about that and don’t assume they’re on board with it.

Graham is in the tradition of Mendel Rivers, the Charleston congressman who ensured his district received more than its share of defense contracts, as he served for almost 30 years as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. That is why Palmetto State voters have reelected Graham repeatedly. He delivers the goods.

The surge in anti-moderate sentiment among Republican voters and the rise of conservative voters who are not attuned to the conservative media stream of Fox News, Salem Radio, etc., will cause danger to Graham and to Cornyn in Texas. It may also cause Massie to defeat his pro-Trump challenger in Kentucky. If Graham and Cornyn (who Trump had not endorsed) win and if Massie goes down, it will indicate that a moderate to conservative GOP will remain dominant.

I wonder how much dark Democrat $ Lynch has been receiving. They know that should Lynch win the primary he would get crushed in the general election when his true positions and desired policies become exposed. Lunch is a crackpot and unlikely to learn the “game” to keep federal $, corporate $ flowing into SC as Graham has mastered. He’s currently 20+ points behind Graham and is unlikely to make any headway. As a resident of SC I’d like to think I have my pulse on the electorate and a deep appreciation and understanding of their history, culture and world views.

I know Mendel’s family. His daughter is a very close friend. Mendel will always be known as “The soldier’s best friend”.

That makes sense. I'm not sure why people are surpised by this.

---- "Anybody that supports Lindsey Graham should leave the Republican Party."

An interesting perspective. As President Trump has now stated his support for Graham, should President Trump leave the Republican Party?

It’s obvious Trump has left the MAGA party.
