Lindsey Graham opponent drops bombshell about surprise voter turnout in South Carolina's GOP countie

[kpete]

Taking note of the huge turnout –particularly by African-American voters — in South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday, the presumptive nominee to face Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the Republican incumbent should be terrified by what he might face in the 2020 general election.

Speaking with MSNBC host Joy Reid, former South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison said the huge turnout should be a red flag for the Trump-supporting Republican who holds a slim lead in the polls.

Asked about the “decisive” win by former Vice President Joe Biden, Harrison explained what he saw on the ground in his home state.

“I was a bit surprised,” Harrison admitted. “But the thing that really surprised me, Joy, was the turnout numbers here in South Carolina. We almost eclipsed — we’ll get the final word maybe today or tomorrow — the historic turnout we saw in the 2008 election with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. I never thought we would get that close, we far surpassed what we saw in 2016.”

Weasels are noble beasts compared to the pond scum Graham!

[IronLionZion]

12. Fair enough. Weasels are preferrable to Lindsey Graham

Even pond scum is better than Lindsey Graham

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. Dreaming big: defeat Graham and McConnell.

Or, if we can't defeat McConnell, then win the Senate and give him an office in the basement, with leaky steam pipes.

[Scarsdale]

32. I read that Graham said

"There is not enough money to defeat ME".

[in2herbs]

3. Whether or not Biden makes it to the finals he should commit to continue campaigning in SC. nt

[Hekate]

16. Steyer has committed to SC -- and he has the personal money, which Biden does not

Biden needs surrogates everywhere

[mopinko]

25. he needs to write harrison a fat check.

[Paul-EM]

5. Oust them

Vote out all of the anti-democratic co-conspirators.

36. Welcome to DU, Paul-EM!

Yes. As they say in the eye drop commercials: “get the red out!”

[Warpy]

6. If they can keep it up, Graham will be out on his bum

and I think he knows it. People have had enough with government by chaos and the loyalists will all be out.

[in2herbs]

8. Here's my dream: Graham voted out and Gym Jordan in handcuffs. nt

[Warpy]

11. Dream vs. prescience

I'll vote for the later.

[Perseus]

14. I have a bigger dream

Besides sharing your dream, I have a bit more.

McConnell out and investigated, his wife out and investigated.
Nunes out and investigated.
trump out and jailed.
the entire trump family out, investigated and some in jail (Don jr would be great in a cell with the dead animals he killed).
Grassley out
Pence out and investigated.
Pompeo out, investigated, disbarred.
Barr out, disbarred, investigated, jailed.
Mulvaney investigated, made to pay huge fines.
Alexander Acosta investigated, disbarred, jailed.
Stephen Miller investigated, sent to a concentration camp...Only kidding, just jailed.
And more...Its a big dream...

Of course that all of these would be indicted...

[LiberalFighter]

21. Trump's sister needs to be investigated too

[LittleGirl]

23. Fabulous list

Of criminals that we need to remove. Brilliant!

[Hearthrob]

28. Does anybody if Pence can be indighted?

Or is he protected while in office?

[notdarkyet]

29. I hope these people are packing up and looking for new homes because most will be gone.

[cp]

30. May it be so

[karin_sj]

31. Don't forget Kavanaugh

Investigated, removed from the Supreme Court, disbarred, & possibility jailed

[Scarsdale]

33. tRump claims that he

has "All the best people" Best at what, though? Being crooks?

[smirkymonkey]

37. +1000

[flibbitygiblets]

7. Just kicked some campaign love to Jaime Harrison's campaign

God, I would LOVE to see Leningrad Lindsay get the boot.

[DENVERPOPS]

10. I would bet

that this caused Trump to send a RED ALERT to Putin to focus on SC to tamper with to corrupt any future voting......

[jaxexpat]

35. The man/boy with little hands .......

will scramble to plug the multiple leaks in his political dike. Putin chuckles to himself. Oh poor little handed man.

[Vinca]

13. Jaime Harrison really has the "it" factor when it comes to appeal as a politician.

He's got a real shot at ridding us of Graham once and for all.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Buh bye Lenigrad Lindsey. Show us what it's like to go down in flames graciously, K?

[DemoTex]

18. A lot of Repubs voted in the SC Democratic primary .. just not the way they were supposed to.

Instead of voting for Bernie, like their GOP party bosses wanted, they voted for Biden. And the reason they voted for Biden is that they want someone to vote for other than Trump in November, and they coudn't vote for Bernie for POTUS.

And Lindsey? He had better "check six."

[Wounded Bear]

19. Well, they wanted to piss off the libtards...

sounds like it might have worked.

[Totally Tunsie]

22. Jaime Harrison is one of the candidates to whom I sent a donation.

I'm not in his state, but I'm happy to support his effort to oust Lindsey Graham. It's time for Graham, McConnell, Collins to turn in their badges and be gone.

[marble falls]

24. I hope Graham continues to act like everything is in the bag. I want to see his puffy surprised ...

face on the news Nov 4th morning.

26. Turnout is the key

African Americans are under-registered in most Southern states. There's still that fear of going to register and someone threatening something if you do, or a nasty court clerk making it an embarrassing, tough prospect. But the bottom line is that turnout wins elections, and in states like South Carolina, the key to winning isn't convincing some white conservatives to change their vote, it is just registering more African American and Latino voters. Get a turnout and you can, like Doug Jones, be a Democrat who wins statewide.

27. k&r

[ramen]

34. GET OUT THE VOTE!

Let's send Mr Graham back home and get on with the next step for the USA. Go SC
