She should do something about that dowdy hair of hers.

It was literally the one thing she couldn’t do. But she did it anyway.
And now her Senate campaign is over. Darline Graham has just lost the Republican nomination for her late brother’s Senate seat.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
She will be OUT of the Senate in January and OFF the Judiciary Committee.
Enough of the Lindsey Graham emotionalism (and that includes Trump).
Lindsey Graham voted horribly (CR Liberty Score: 43%)
Ralph Norman will be MUCH better (CR Liberty Score 92%)
Hopefully all of Lindsey Graham's deep state aides will be FIRED. They would've All been kept by his sister. (See John Cornyn's aides moving to support Democrats, Graham's likely the same types).
“ Thank friggin God!!”

I second those thanks.
Which is a shame, because that means Nikki Haley’s man, Ralph Norman, will get the nod. Choosing Graham to complete her brother’s term was a good move. But encouraging her to run for a full term was not. Trump has a pretty good record of endorsing candidates who have already decided to run, but his record of encouraging candidates who hadn’t planned on running, is not good. Herschel Walker immediately springs to mind.
SOUTH CAROLINA IS AN OPEN PRIMARY STATE.
While South Carolina is an open primary state, voters who cast a ballot in June’s Democratic primary will not be able to vote in the August special primary.
Voters who cast a ballot in the June Republican primary are eligible for the August special primary, as are people who did not vote in either party’s primary back in June.
Even though SC is generally a pretty conservative state, SC hangs on to the Open Primary and that is why squishes like Lindsey Graham and other SC RINO squishes get selected in the Primary.
She’s not in a death spiral. She said a few stupid things last night where if we didn’t have a war going on, or whatever we want to call it, would be a resume enhancer. That said, we are in a war and this will cost her. Whether it costs her the election remains to be seen. But I agree that she was a horrible pick. Another in a long line of stupid endorsements from Trump.
Her answers were truthful with feeling, something Norman lacks. She still has my vote.
I think President Trump just wanted someone who would vote with MAGA rather than oppose, especially the Save Act.
Norman is against getting rid of the filibuster - not sure where he is on the Save Act.
She should do something about that dowdy hair of hers.
Early voting starts today, don’t celebrate too soon.
So was Jimmah Cahtah the principal client of the House of Saud, and Georgians knew what he was “in his heart” of lust. A fakir who worked for Chase Manhattan in a very short Navy career of additionally fake engineering claims. And for 47 plus years thanks to him- we have been at war with Iran and they with us.
Cannot understand this basis of acceptance of false truth vs. brutal facts. Find some photos of Lindsay with ISIS monsters— in the same photo there with McCain, or with McCain,Klobuchar and Lindsay with Pereschenko and his SPETSNAZ unit—before he left for Russia. Weapons business— perpetual war and Lindsay was in it up to his neck. “You have guns, use them”..January 6 2021...he said this repeatedly to Capitol Police (and he and Feinstein had a deal going on the Judiciary).
See what he wants to see and disregards the rest.
Agreed. Trump knows she would be a reliable vote for his agenda and would take her cues from him. A cynic might sneer at that, but better her than the unreliable Ralph Norman who endorsed Haley over Trump in 2024 and whose agenda is often at odds with Trump’s.
Fortunately enough gets out— ride herd on Norman. Nikki Haley has zero pull in SC... after all she screwed up for the toots of Charleston and mega money of losing Boeing. That cartel.
And anyone who wants to slap the “neo-con” label on Graham because of her brother has to answer why the same thing couldn’t be said about Norman because of his association with Haley.
Which is a shame, because that means Nikki Haley’s man, Ralph Norman, will get the nod. Choosing Graham to complete her brother’s term was a good move. But encouraging her to run for a full term was not.

It seems you can’t make up your mind about who you like less.
What was, FRiend, Lindsay’s “association” with Nikki Haley? Do you recall. Memories are so short. Norman will need Boeing to give him a visit... can’t get around that or the facts of all being discussed. Into which Darline served a purpose for a time until January. Duty to one’s brother aside, she will be relieved to be out of it and return to what she does know about.
Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) is the Republican version of “the Autopen Candidate”. She’s a puppet of Lindsey Graham’s staff and the GOP establishment.
I like Ralph Norman less. At least Graham would be a reliable MAGA vote.
Mmmm, “truthful with feeling”.
She was never qualified to begin with, just her name got her to DC.
Many North Carolina voters will see her as honest, humble, and far from being a slick politician who alway think he has all the answers.
