PARTY LEADERS “DISAPPOINTED,” BUT “NOT SURPRISED”

Was the executive director of the S.C. Democratic Party (SCDP) pleased to learn that former lieutenant governor Yancey McGill had bolted his party and become a “Republican?”

No … not even a little bit.

“It’s disappointing to learn that Mr. McGill would join a political party being lead by the likes of someone as divisive and distasteful as Donald Trump,” Jason Perkey said.

The party’s chairman, Jamie Harrison, agreed – saying “many of the Democrats in Williamsburg County and across the state (were) not surprised” by McGill’s decision.

They may be surprised by what comes next, though …

According to our sources, McGill is actively laying the groundwork for a 2018 gubernatorial campaign – as a “Republican.”

“He’s running,” a source close to the Kingstree, S.C. politician told us.

And while the Democratic establishment is clearly not enamored with McGill at the moment, we’re told many of his former party members remain supportive of him – and his future plans within the GOP.

Seriously: What have we been saying all these years?

Wedge social issues aside, there is absolutely no difference between “Republicans” and Democrats in South Carolina.  Or in Washington, D.C. for that matter.  The labels are interchangeable – meaningless.

This is what is wrong with SCGOP now. We allow these mushy middle moderate Dims to come into our party when it looks like they will lose as a Dim. Just calling yourself a Republican dose not make you a Republican. Read the Republican creed a few times then get back to me. This is where the generic “cockroach” comes from.

The South Carolina Democratic Party need a new logo, a new banner, new curtains and something better than OSB construction sheathing to tack it on. The Palmetto tree is pathetic.

“Wedge social issues aside, there is absolutely no difference between “Republicans” and Democrats in South Carolina.”
So simple, yet so true. The only difference between the two is the color of the lint in their belly buttons. Navel gazers, all of them.

Trump is more honorable than any Democrat in their Party today.That Party is full of Devil doers who will lie,cheat,steal or do anything to gain power in my opinion. The Republicans in General are no better, again in my opinion.
