re: It's official in SC. Gov McMaster just pulled the trigger.

Finally someone demonstrates some balls.

I work with a black guy that moved here from South Carolina. He calls Clyburn a house n***** dick licker

Mike Pence is telling SC Republicans in the senate to "do a lot of soul searching before voting

Regardless of my opinion on the maps, that Yankee POS can frick off.

I still remember Nimrata scurrying back and forth between chambers lobbying to get the flag taken down off the monument.

Never forget. Jake Knotts was right all along.

I'm fairly sure that Shane Massey is toast ... although I was told today at lunch that Shane is suddenly changing his vote to now be in favor of redistricting and effectively removing Clyburn from the House. I'm not sure that's going to save Shane at this point. Haven't heard what the other four state senators are going to do ... but I can only imagine that they're all in trouble.

How disconnected do you have to be to say what he said out loud in our current climate? It’s actually impressive it’s so damn stupid or arrogant. I can’t decide which

I posted in the other thread but interested to hear your take: Do you think the new 2nd and Peedee districts have enough red voters to overcome the Dems? Looking at the past election numbers I’m not so sure.

I really do. Plus it'll make some GOP incumbents and candidates finally get off their asses and work for votes and expect to be held accountable. And hey, if they lose they lose. All fair in love, war ... and politics (these days).

The next step is to close our primaries. Once we do that, which is on the agenda, we'll be even more Red imho. Provided the GOP policies put in place benefit the voters and the state.

Another thing working in our favor, especially in those purple districts, are stricter Voter ID laws.

It was political suicide ... but imho it was pure arrogance.

I've been around Shane some, he's always come across as egocentric ... wants everyone to think he's the smartest guy in the room. Blair and him both actually ... and I've always been told, (my wife insiststhis is factual) that Blair is a democrat. He's originally from Greenville so that's not unusual up in that neck of the woods but he let his becoming Senate majority leader go to his head. He's a moderate at best ... which here in SC we call a blue dog democrat these days.

Good post.

Graham and Scott will fight that tooth and nail.

The Pee Dee district as constructed is essentially John Spratt's old district, which he lost to Mick Mulvaney. There's more folks in York and Lancaster Counties than all the Pee Dee counties combined (maybe save Florence).

Orangeburg is in the Midlands district that encompasses Richland and Lexington Counties then goes west toward Georgia down to Allendale and Hampton Counties.
