South Carolina GOP Could Cancel Primary to Protect Trump


December 19, 2018 at 8:14 am EST By Taegan Goddard

“The South Carolina Republican Party could cancel its marquee presidential nominating contest in 2020 in a move to protect President Trump from any primary challengers,” the Washington Examiner reports.

“Drew McKissick, chairman of the South Carolina GOP, said he doesn’t anticipate Trump would face a primary challenge and emphasized that the state party executive committee hasn’t held any formal discussions about the contest, dubbed ‘first in the South’ and usually third on the presidential nominating calendar. But McKissick would pointedly not rule out canceling the primary, indicating that that would be his preference.”

Can't risk falling off that tiger you're riding, but you know you will. It's inevitable. That's when the tiger turns on you and does to you what you've been directing it to do to the country. Thoughts and prayers.
