Graham is really a moderate Democrat with lots of pals in the SC Democrat party. Every election the SC GOP and the Dems join forces to dilute the primary vote with a lot of confusing candidates. The Dems don’t even try to run an opponent. Graham HATES South Carolinians. He’s been caught many times on video sneering and contemptuous of the state. Similar stuff —phony primaries—happens in AZ and other states. What we need is Trump’s help in the primaries—his willingness to call out pols like Graham.
I think the large presence of the military in South Carolina is what drives the republican party. Lindsey Graham couldn’t win an election if he didn’t wrap himself around the military and patriotism. I wish we could free ourselves from the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about. Our troops are being sent all over the world to what ends nobody knows and we have seen enough of this; Iraq 1, Iraq 2, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Kosovo or was it Bosnia, Somalia. We are supposed to be stopping terrorism while inviting them into our countries.
Most of the leaders of the western world are nuts and they are not democratic because they do not listen to the people.
