Pissing match. Who cares.

And another puppet for her majesty.

Not so fast. Wonder who else will consider running for the second spot. Could get interesting. Maybe Haley would love having McConnell instead of someone else.

Not a McConnell fan, but he knows she’s trash.

Isn’t Mcconnell a homo? If he is he could win a statewide race in NY, NJ or CA but not SC.

“Why would anyone want this office? Good question …”
Which brings to mind a great unanswered question for me, and I assume most taxpayers of SC…since we pay the bill.
What kind of benefits do statewide elected and appointed officials/agency heads receive, particularly those who have never held a state position before? We learned a year or two ago, from his time away from the job, that Mick Zais comes and goes as he pleases. Are they not required to put in their 37.5 hours a week? Do they accrue sick and annual leave? Can they choose to never show up for work and never have a record made of the days they work to earn their salaries?
Are they part of the retirement system? If they are unelected after 4 years and unvested in the system, can they come back later and buy time to get full benefits based on their ridiculously high salaries?
Same for health care and other insurance coverage. If they are retirement age already, like Zais, will he and others like him be entitled to state health insurance coverage with the taxpayers contributing, i.e. funding their Medicare supplement state coverage?

Whoa, Pat? I know him all too well. Boy, if I could only tell what I know. The past can come back to haunt you, my friend.
