Another big ouch from Senator Darline Graham

 #SCsen #SCpol

Various comments after the SC #GOP runoff. Ralph Norman concession. "I don't like it, but I accept it." ROLE MODEL for the entire #GOP no matter what the President's enablers might be cooking up. Norman also endorsed Nikki Haley, one reason the President bypassed him for endorsement. See video below: Darline Graham: "I have a long career working hard for the people of SC...I know what it's like to be poor and struggling in SC." This is TRUE. She has never run for office but she has worked hard in her profession and is well regarded by counterparts in other states. NO QUESTION she has a learning curve about national security. Sorting that out has to be up to SC voters while I argue with my own state's delegation.

If Darline would stop there and think ...and not just swallow what she is being fed.

A certain war has a lot to do with many economic realities voters are facing. I also lean toward "support our troops. Keet them out of stupid wars of choice" but I have no idea what messaging works in SC. There is another quote about "government run health care." Lindsay adopted her after their parents died so he could list her as a military dependent. Last time I checked, that is GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE. I have not looked at final vote totals but early returns showed that President #StableGenius PLEEEEASE go out and vote" speech probably had an impact in the areas the President won. Also, interesting and worth looking into for final results: Early returns showed 20% of votes for her came as mail-in ballots and 9 % or something as early voting. If the President himself votes by mail and Darline benefited from measures he is trying to get rid of, should he maybe RETHINK?

Speaking VERY charitably, the President is an old guy who needs friends. Unfortunately, friends sometimes have to tell someone that what they are doing isn't working.

Anyway, the country needs the whole conversation, all the pieces here.

Darline Graham Just Betrayed Republicans

Please note: some of Darline's comments absolutely make RantWoman cringe.

Also, RantWoman receives fundraising emails from Democratic candidate Annie Andrews. Putting serious money behind the Andrews campaign makes sense although RantWoman will stick to her witness about supporting only non-partisan measures to support voter turnout and fight vote suppression.
