Cantor flip flopped and lost. Graham flip flopped and won. Why? South Carolina has an open primary, so Democrats can help choose the GOP candidate. After Graham wins, he will keep the Democrats happy who voted for him.
The Republicans in SC are not conservatives or they would change this.
This is the Democrat strategery for 2016.
declare Hillary the unbeatable nominee before the primaries so democrats in open states are freed up to help pick the Republican candidate
The establishment rigs the election. Over throw the establishment. Where is KARL TONIGHT??
VA has open primary, too. Comparing tonight’s VA election with the one in SC is kind of apples and oranges. A primary in one, single, fairly conservative congressional district is a completely different animal than a state-wide Senate primary.
The SC GOP is not conservative, and Lindsey Lightfoot is very cozy with the Dems.
