Nancy Mace got crushed in the South Carolina gubernatorial primary. She'll also soon be out of Congress.

Will this be the last we hear from her? God, I hope so. Never has there been someone as unstable and unqualified as she to be in a leadership position from our state.

I get it. Early voting ends today and Primary Day is Tuesday, so all the candidates are spamming us with texts and emails. I’ve gotten messages from every Democratic candidate for governor plus a few other offices.
But why am I getting a text from Nancy Mace? I haven’t voted in the Republican primary in years. She must be desperate. #scpol

We got lucky that the SC Senate brought some reason to the table and rejected mid-election Congressional line redistricting. Unless we start getting busy flipping some seats, we won't be so lucky next time.

The numbers say the South Carolina economy is doing well. But that's ONLY because of the influx of people moving into the state (something the natives are quick to point out as objectionable - "Yer not from 'round here!").

But while the numbers say one thing, the reality for most is quite different. So who's benefitting from this economy?

"Is South Carolina’s economy thriving? Many South Carolinians don’t think so, at least not currently. In a recent Winthrop poll, which had over 1,400 respondents, the majority of people rated the economy as bad, with half saying that they are not as well off financially as they were a year ago."

I am being inundated by ads featuring endorsements from ancient politicians and I do. Not. Care. I was relieved when these guys shuffled off the stage into retirement. #scpol
And it’s that sort of “we know better than you” attitude from the Dems of yore that is toxic in today’s politics. Jermaine Johnson is an excellent candidate. They are welcome to argue with me and I’m free to disagree. #scpol
It’s clear he’s supported by the old guard. No one under 50 thinks this is an effective endorsement. #scpol
