There is enough plausible deniability built into the framework of what is anticipated to be a MAGA rally by President Trump in South Carolina in support of Republican Senate candidate Darline Graham, the sister of Lindsey Graham.
The first indication surfaced in a cancellation announcement by the South Carolina state GOP which canceled its Senate Stump Stop in Anderson County, SC, in anticipation of Trump traveling to Myrtle Beach “on behalf of one of the runoff candidates.”
However, after the Washington Examiner published their article on Trump’s travel plan, the White House did not return a comment. [SOURCE] This may indicate the people around President Trump are noticing a looming likelihood that Darline Graham will not win the contest. It would be an embarrassing defeat for President Trump to lose the contest after putting his endorsement behind Darline Graham-Nordone.
The oppositional media are paying close attention to the opportunity to undermine President Trump and now framing the contest as Nikki Haley vs Donald Trump because Ralph Norman previously supported Nikki Haley.
Ralph Norman and Darline Graham-Nordone are scheduled to debate tomorrow, August 18th on Newsmax. The Trump rally with Mrs Graham-Nordone was presumably scheduled for Friday, August 21. If Trump retreats from the rally, it means internal polling supports a Norman victory.
NEWBERRY, S.C. (WIS) – The South Carolina Republican Party (SCGOP) announced that a debate will be held between Sen. Darline Graham and Congressman Ralph Norman after they both advanced to a runoff in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
The debate will take place Tuesday, August 18, at the Newberry Opera House in cooperation with Newsmax. (more)
A runoff between two RINOS. I’m underwhelmed.
Yes, both bad choices. We’re in the trap again and this one is particularly high profile.
The process for this one was stomped on. We didn’t get a chance to see if a truly America First candidate could ascend.
Couldn’t agree more. I posted in favor of Norman but then I read this post. Can’t the GOP run anyone worth a crap in that state?
Good she was never going to win. She basically knows nothing about politics. And she supports some lefties. The one short speech she said was like gobbledy gook
Nikki Haley – what a stain on the GOP.
Major, major tell that she has zero position in the Trump Admin.
This runoff election reminds me a little of Aunt Bee running against Howard Sprague for Town Council in a 1966 episode of The Andy Griffith Show.
But not as wholesome…
This one’s for Betsy:
President Trump doesn’t want to get caught making a mistake about 1066 and all that 🙂
I still think Trump needs to fire whoever recommended he endorse Graham.
…as I see it neither 2 top officials in US … have real intention make peace with Russia…and they Russia know it….to campaign for sister of #1 warmonger in the USA..???
“ It would be an embarrassing defeat for President Trump to lose the contest after putting his endorsement behind Darline Graham-Nordone.”
I disagree.
