There's already multiple people lining up to primary him. The Horry County School Board chairman just announced his candidacy and one of our local state representatives from Socastee (the favorite if he runs) is likely to soon announce. Rice is gone.
And there all lining up to be Yes-men.
Perhaps it's two different philosophies. Personally, I don't want a politician who caters to everything I want. Because it means they'll do anything to keep their position, not necessarily do what's best for their jurisdiction.
Ironically, that is what Democrats do. They stand up for whatever is popular for their base, not concerned that what they support is actually bad for their base in the long term. Yet you all wish to go down the right-wing equivalent.
You all realize the GOP lost all 3 branches of power at the federal level.
If nothing else, I respect Rice for standing up for what he believes in.

70% of the voters in Horry County voted for President Trump. The overwhelming number of voters here not only supported the Capitol protests, they didn't think they went far enough. Rice can vote his conscience, and the voters here in SC's 7th district will vote theirs. The problem with Washington is that nobody fears their electorate. A good dose of fear is a good thing for politicians.

What I believe in is data. Trump objectively did more for our country and the citizens of our country than any other in recent memory.
If he failed in your "pardon" criteria, too fricking bad. It has nothing to do with "yes men". It has to do with being a patriot.
