Lee Bright simply failed to be South Carolina’s Chris McDaniel. You can put the loss on him and the idiot voters.

If folks split the vote, that’s what they can expect. Most of the time.

How did we get this catastrophe?

Must have been his Bette Davis Eyes that mesmerized. (I seem to remember he had a picture of the actress on his website a while back and a picture of himself that emphasized his large and heavily lashed eyes.)

We ended up with this because Lindsay didn’t out right attack the tea party like that arrogant SOB Cantor

SC just voted to take it in the behinds from Lindsey Graham. Bet he does not kiss them before he leaves.

Does South Carolina have an open primary?

I’ll guess Lindsey is fairly popular with Blacks and Hispanics, who make up more than 33% of state residents.

By the way, Graham is an excellent and charming politician.

Many people in SC like him on a personal level.

Because useful idiots continue listening to GOP sycophants who spread the lie that a Republican siding with Democrats is better than a Democrat.

Then they complain when the closet Democrat sides with Democrats.

then they vow to never do it again.

Then they do it again.

Thank those GOP sycophants because many make FR their home.

The deeply entrenched are extremely hard to unseat. I’m sure that there were many crossover votes to ensure this RINO stayed right where he is. SC needs to stop allowing open primaries!

We have our losses, but we are winning the game. TEA is the only group in the nation that is infiltrating and making a big difference. The movement is only 5 years old. We need to look at the successes. They are simply amazing!

Someone over saturated the field with lots if so called tea party candidates . If there had been just one minnie mccain might have joined Cantor.

“defeating six tea party challengers”

Which part of “divide and lose” don’t you understand?

If six conservatives had split the vote against Cantor, there wouldn’t be anything to celebrate tonight.

I hope this will be the last we hear (and we heard it until our ears bled) about how packing the primary field is a sure fire way to keep an incumbent under 50, drag him into a run off, and then beat him.

just because it worked for cruz doesn’t mean it will ever work again, anywhere else.

my God, some of the people here were relentless on that point. relentlessly wrong, as it turns out.

Thanks for nothing SC. You deserve Linda but the rest of us don’t. SC joins AZ, OH, and KY as RINO HQ.

Linda reached out to democrats, encouraging them to vote for him in the primary. And they did.

Goober's like a festering hemorrhoid. He just won't go away.

Not that I've ever had one.... Besides this Goober.

As much as I’m enjoying Cantor’s loss I would have traded that seat for this one. I real thought there was a chance of forcing a runoff.

Evidently the people of S.C. like him pretty much. The race wasn’t even close but we should feel pretty good about the fact that we have pulled even the rinos to the right. Cantor losing will send shock waves through the party and immigration reform is dead.
