S. Carolingians: Curious, who is Lindsey's base, core voters/supporters?

He's been irking me since the '90s, with his perpetual weaseling, (no need to detail all his crap here).

So *WHO* supports him in South Carolinia? Does he bring pork home (military bases/spending)? Jobs?

So he was in the Judge Advocate Corps (the law) in the military, not a job that would appeal to rough'n'ready military types.

Am grasping for explicabilty - what's his *APPEAL*?!1

In a lot of red areas, that's all it takes. They can hate the guy, but they'll still vote for him because of that R.

Same thing goes for Trump, which is why approval/disapproval numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. Plenty of people disapproved of him in 2016 and voted for him anyway.

I never met one of them, and I even spent a little time with Mark Sanford!
