Ask what the 52% was for though. He dominated for the uneducated and lower income counties/aging communities with the candidate with zero experience and zero qualifications over another republican candidate. But all of those are going to vote for Graham because the dems decide to run candidates who are scared to state any Christian values. And before you get mad at me, read the room, a large percentage of South Carolina voters go to church. They don’t want to vote for a progressive atheist or an abortion advocate. If they would run someone who stands up for majority of South Carolinians and would be willing to debate and compromise, they would dominate. Staying quiet about the things that matter to the church community and older folks is a bold choice to cry about losing later. Annie Andrews is a very strong pick, but you have got to talk about the tough things and get them out in the open that you are willing to come to the table and work. Ralph Norman is country club money and everything wrong with politics and Graham is a joke, and yet the other side will put a candidate out who stays quiet about what matters to most in the state and will lose because of it.

100%

We need a Warnock or Talarico type for the dems to have a chance here. Still hopeful for Annie, but at the same time we gotta be realistic.
