Don’t want to say – I told you so……………
You go Henry…whip some ass!
Henry is just not very smart. Nice guy. Just dumb.
I disagree – I think he is very smart. Hell, he’s ran for every office in SC the past 50 years and actually got elected to a couple of them. Can’t wait to see what that old bastard will run for next.
Henry is the laughing stock of the Statehouse today! No one can look him in the face.
Then he has my vote!
Im pretty sure this is a well calculated move. Hes now clearly severed ties with Haley and Quinn, so he doesnt have to worry about that coming up during the primaries, and hes essentially pandering to the majority of this state who supports trump.
Hooked his wagon to a star.
If Henry thinks Trump is temperamentally suited to be POTUS, then he must be going senile. Maybe he can check into an old folks home he regulates in the Lite Gov’s office. Having voted for Henry since I was a college Freshman in 1986 when he ran for US Senate against Hollings, I can now finally say I no longer Back Henry Mac. Moving on in the next race for Governor, and so is my checkbook and same for the people I wrangled into maxing out for Henry last time.
Is Scott really considering a run? Why would you give up a cushy seat for life in the US Senate to run a third world country for 4-8 years?
It might be what Tim wants to do but he would serve SC much better in the senate. Even though most of what he dose is cancel Grahamnasty , at least we let some other state count.
I think I’ll wait to see who Joe the Plumber endorses.
Not a fan of the Masturbator but have absolutely no need for Woodchuck Wilson
Do like your lead in to this post – SC SCHISM – however disappointed when I realized that it was not a commentary on the amount of space between the Gypsy Queen cheeks
LOL…..you are talking about a serious chasm there!
I would not support Henry McMaster now for Dog Catcher. Undoubtedly he has really gone off the deep end or he is letting ole Peg tell him what to do. I do understand she has been fascinated with Trump for quite a while now. Maybe she threatened to let some of old Henry’s secrets out of the bag if she didn’t get to tour the Trump jet? I could see how giddy she was getting when Trump kept calling her name last night. Fog Horn Leg Horn, Boss Hog and Miss Peggy – what a team! Bad part is they may win the Republican Nomination and then Hillary becomes President. I would say that puts any chances of Henry every being more than what he is today down the drain. How old is he anyway? He has been running for office since Noah built the Ark!
Alan rebutted on Thursday…well at least my pappy Joe was in the know and wasn’t found to be lying
You know—he didn’t stab SC conservatives by sticking his head up RINOs Boehner and Paul Ryan
And at least he said Hell no we won’t rip down the flag of patriots by NOT letting YOU get to vote
And he didn’t give the most incompetent presiDENT in history fast-track and try to make you a goat
Yep…he and mammy refused that taxpayer-PAID vacation to Hawaii—their most modest move to date
And of course we KNOW you’ll be slow and reelect Joe and me the next chance you get…NO…WAIT !!!
This actually might be a savvy politcal move. This state is BIG on trump, national politics dont matter in the race for the governors mansion. We were just talking about how Nikki sold out by endorsing Jeb!(sic). This wasnt McMaster actually supporting Trump for President (well it was), but more than that it was McMaster breaking ties with Quinn and Haley because he realizes they are albatrosses that Wilson will have to carry on his own. Yes, he could have supported Cruz and had basically the same effect, but this is a much bigger, bolder statement that hes ready to shake things up in a state where the only people who like the status quo are politicians, and people here dont like cruz nearly as much as Trump, and he isnt pandering to a national audience.
Who will be McMaster’s handler?
When I saw Henry introduce Trump , my first question was, What the Hell? Now I know. All those years of kissing butt with the Quinns and then get passed over for the job he has wanted all his life would be a real kick in the groin. Henry has been a loyal trooper with McCain and Graham in 2000 as well as 2008 then sold up the river. The 2018 gov. race is going to be an old fashioned hog killing from day one. I , for one , will be looking to see the show as it unfolds. LOL TRUMP 2016. Make America Great Again.
If Henry McMaster is “as establishment as you can get in South Carolina”, then why does FITS put his political affiliation, Republican, in parenthesis? [i.e., ‘the veteran “Republican”]. Is there anyone in South Carolina who FITS is willing to concede is a Republican? FITS would probably deem Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan as “RINOS”.
Whoops! Forgot my grammar. I mean “in quotation marks”.
That’s the sign of the Haley train going full on Casey Jones.
The smartest endorsement move this season-is not to endorse at all. Just watch how this all plays out.
