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?
made me laugh… thank you…
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
Most of the Congress and Judiciary knows nothing about the Constitution
That could be said of current office holders right on up.
Well she’d fit right into the republiCON senate then wouldn’t she?!?!
The GOP’s Harris??????
kamala dna?😳
Nikki Haley – what a stain on the GOP.
Major, major tell that she has zero position in the Trump Admin.
Sending her over to the UN was masterful.
Trump essentially gave her a job of chasing parked cars.
Woof!
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…
LOL
This one’s for Betsy:
President Trump doesn’t want to get caught making a mistake about 1066 and all that 🙂
😂 👍🏻 😁
(Keep on keeping on, dear WORDMAN 😘)
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..???
She would be better off managing some part of the Charleston Cotillion…
“ It would be an embarrassing defeat for President Trump to lose the contest after putting his endorsement behind Darline Graham-Nordone.”
I disagree.
Hopefully his endorsement of dangenfelder in Wyoming fails tomorrow too and we get a real conservative in Brent Bien.
I’m surprised by the number of people who would directly support someone who directly undercut our fighter.
thankfully plenty of people still think and analyze their positions for themselves.
There is value in that, of course. That is what makes us different.
But this isn’t Paxton vs. Cornyn we are talking about. I don’t see many comments about how great of a candidate Norman is. And he has one major strike against him.
All things being equal, or close, why not support the President?
Trumps ego is getting in the way of make a smart decision on this. He should have stayed out of it and said nothing.
Think it’s more about loyalty than ego. He encouraged her to fill in, maybe he had good reason for it.
I wish he wouldn’t interfere with primary elections. Let the people pick. He’s made some bad support calls here in Florida. Then during the general election unleash his best to beat off the demonrats. Just my two cents.
Wish Trump would sit this one out.
-Let the voters of SC sort this out.
whenever I see this picture…
my built-in BS detector immediately makes me see this picture for some reason….
sigh
DC is a bubble of its own fever dreams & nobody looks/listens to the people that matter.
So many SC voters were against her appointment that it should have been obvious that Lindsey’s little sister had no means of winning over the electorate.
Endorse candidate.
See candidate is unpopular.
Abandon candidate so as to not appear like you’re bad at picking winners.
Woah buddy!!!
why not stand behind your endorsement, or articulate why it has changed?
President Trump should stay out of it. Let South Carolina cook their own goose.
IMHO, the GOP/RNC would just as soon LOSE that Senate seat formerly occupied by Lindsey Graham . . . they want a slimmer majority for their game-playing BS.
Why can’t it just be a contest between Norman and Nordone? Geesh…
Thanks for the heads up on the debate.
Something Coattail rider DeSantis would say.
Has she mentioned anything about the Save America proposal
What is worse, the backstabbing RINO politics of South Carolina, or, the overt communism of much of New England politics?
<Ralph Norman and Darline Graham-Nordone are scheduled to debate tomorrow, August 18th on Newsmax.>
Between this, and how important they think their latest stock offering is, it’s a wonder anyone watches them at all. News Min Promos Max.
lets hope internal rolling shows norman will win.
Every dumb YouTube video I watched in the last two days has been preceded by a negative ad about Norman. I did not know that he is the son of Beelzebub.
