I continue to weep for the many, many good South Carolinians that I personally know.

Don't the people of South Carolina get a say? Even if this is only temporary, it doesn't seem right to me.

But what do I know?

They will just put another Republican in anyway.

She or somebody else will have to run in Lindsey's place for the upcoming midterm election. All legal, I'm afraid.

the exclusive club allows baboons

That person would know what was being worked on, the thinking process of how to put together an opposing view of an issue or an agreement on the issue. That person would know the contacts needed to proceed, or the senate’s own rules of procedure. TSF wants a person in this position for a vote for his issues and not a qualified replacement..imo

I remember Mel Carnahan's wife, Jean, replacing him and serving in good capacity.

Yeah, there are better choices in the pool, but they made a choice based on emotion not logic.


Edit: Plus it is probably easier for Trump to just remember the new lady as Lindsay Graham's sister and not someone else

Otherwise, we wouldn't be hearing about her.

the pedopres.

This Governor can appoint but Gov. Beshear can't? I understand two different states (separate laws) BUT at the very least it tells a story of how RETHUGS think and do. What i'm saying is these rethugs are dirty as they come!!

However, according to the state constitution, the governor has the power. The constitutionality of those laws hasn’t been tested.

The government doesn’t work for the People, they work for the owners, the international imperialist empire.

It’s pretty obvious. Has been for a long, long time.

It happened today in plain sight - Trump said it on Fox directly to Gov McMaster, who then acted based on his decree. WTF.

You know, the part that really counts.

how will she do for a general election?

Sister dearest won't be able to whip up the votes in the Senate like Lindsey.

that she has no intention of running in the Republican primary next month.

She is just a placeholder until the end of the year.

This could turn out to be a good thing. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Like her late sibling.

It's long been common practice in the Third World (and in the Deep South) to replace some high-profile politician with his wife, sister, son, daughter, cousin, etc.

No experience? No problem - in fact, the lack thereof is usually preferred (as the string-pullers only want a puppet with a famous last name).

It seldom works out well however.



Argentine populist leader Juan Perón and his inept wife (and successor), Isabel, shortly before his 1974 death.

Nominated as his running mate by sole virtue of being his wife (and because she wasn't identified with any one Peronist faction), her subsequent two-year regime became a master class in what not to do as president.

In fairness to Mrs. Perón though, she never wanted the job.

...I thought they would be a lot of backroom discussions about what McMaster might get from the appointee and the party. Either corruption works a lot faster in SC, or McMaster is honest. I can't tell.

I fully expected that McMasters would appoint, who he wanted for the Senate. That would give him/her an edge come the election. Along with an IOU.

I was secretly hoping he would appoint Mace. LOL.

Breathe ... we already have the worst of the worst. We know what we're in for and the fight is on. Just focus on the end game. We. Will. Endure. This cannot outlast us. And if we lose??? They'll NEVER take our souls and THEY will eventually see that they have lost as well. Because they will b left with a burnt out shell of nothing. Get angry and fight. This cannot stand. We got this.

If the felon recommended the governor appoint a random janitor at a grocery store to the seat, the governor would do it.
