Was she supposed to be a puppet?

Any other R candidate probably beats the Democrat moon bat, maybe even easily.

Because Trump thought she was a good candidate.

Trump is a horrendous judge of these things. Always has been.

You want to know the real reason? Trump wouldn’t choose Mace because he endorsed her opponent in another election. He wouldn’t endorse Ralph Norman because Norman disagreed with him one time back in the day and Trump had to get revenge.

Because all it took to earn a Trump endorsement is to promise you will never question any decision he makes.

And she was obviously more than willing to make that promise.

She was mistake. Donald Trumps loyalty to his friends is his achilles heel.


But to be honest, SC always have shitty candidates. They probably couldn't find anyone better.

It is strange how many folks are just now realizing these traits in Trump.

Would have been easy to pick the Lt Governor

I agree she was a lousy candidate but better candidates than her also lost yesterday so theres no guarantee it would have mattered.

oh come on

They have 6 republicans in Congress. I'm sure the state's highest offices are all held by Republicans. Plenty to choose from.

It was a stupid pick.

Gowdy mentioned this last night. I forget who the other primary guy was, but he said he would've lost as well. So it may not be just Darline?
But I think it would've been a better chance considering some of the republican polling said she wasn't good foreign policy.

Yes. What she should have told the president is i’m not the person to win this. Thank you for the consideration but go and find the person to keep SC red. She failed and Trump failed.

Pushing her was stupid.

HER choice to take it on (outside of the brief fill in after her brother died) was even stupider.

It made no sense why she would choose to do that, when she all but admitted pretty early on that she didn't have any interest in a lot of what surrounded the political scene.

It was above Trump's head. His neocon masters put her in the race and it was every bit as corrupt as it sounds.

I mean frick, even having those names and credentials surpass Graham.

Being a family member of a politician that died doesn’t make you qualified or even a solid choice to take that position, it’s not a birthright.

Missouri did this shite with Carnahan
