So we learned that Nancy has daddy issues and is not adverse to a Real Housewives fit of table flipping.
“People are fed up”
Yes, people are fed up with attention whores who treat politics like a reality show, clamoring constantly for camera time.
Let Mace and Wilson destroy each other with their vitriol. Pam will rise above the fray and win the race
“ The people are fed up…?! In case you need a little history lesson, Congresswoman, your party, the Republican Party, has been in control of the SC House of Representatives since 1994, the SC Senate since 2000, and has held the Governor’s office continuously since 2003. Today, all the state constitutional offices are held by Republicans, as well as both US Senate seats and six of seven Congressional seats. Any thing that you might deem that causes the people to be “fed up”, would therefore seem of your and your fellow Republicans own making.
Very fair comment. But I would add that about 30-40% of state level republican elected officials are just former democrats who were savvy enough to read the political tea leaves in the 1990s and early 2000s and simply switched the letter behind their name to get elected or stay in office. SCGOP has a huge RINO and stealth democrat problem. But above all this, the governor’s position in this state, in terms of getting laws changed and major budget initiatives passed, is extremely weak – regardless of who holds the office.
You are correct in that many Democrats switched parties for political convenience. But practically all of those guys have retired or died or been defeated. Hugh Letterman or Larry Martinin the Senate being an example. . The great, great majority of Republicans in both houses today have always been Republican, and have espoused Republican conservative positions from the get-go. To blame “RINOS or stealth Democrats” for the legislature’s progress or lack of, is to insult the judgment of the Republican primary voter and is simply seeking a scapegoat. They elect them. As for a weak governor, you are correct. But doesn’t this undermine Mace’s argument that she can really make a difference? I would be interested to know exactly how she plans to make a difference. A Governor can’t be effective by attacking the legislature. Ask Mark Sanford.
Will writes this like he’s hoping to get a job out of it.
I’m confused about her comments about her father and the Citadel, wasn’t he commandant of cadets at the Citadel while she attended?
Mace is batshit crazy.
She perfectly fits the profile of Histrionic Personality Disorder in the DSM. This is a woman with deep-seated psychological problems.
