Lindsey Graham keeps cutting ads for Harrison.



Is anyone going to fall for this?  What Graham was saying is that no one wants to go back there!

I'm really over GOP politicians backtracking and saying something "was a joke" or "was sarcasm" when it clearly wasn't

Should it really even be acceptable for politicians to joke or be sarcastic if that was even the case?


Yes?
They not robots.   People should be allowed to be interesting.

a risky and desperate strategy: could hurt Harrison's potential for crossover support from pro-life/pro-gun/Trump voters by bringing up these issues of disagreement and telling them their views are "too conservative for South Carolina"

You want a hint as to how many of those people exist?

Goose egg.

If those people didn't exist this race would not be competitive.

This ad isn't meant to sway conservatives or moderates to Harrison's column. It's a very McCaskill-esque strategy of pushing conservative voters wavering on Graham to another candidate on the ballot.

Harrison will not be getting nor will he need a substantial number of Trump voters in a state as polarized as South Carolina. His key to victory is the Democratic base + disaffected anti-Graham conservatives voting third party.

The only reason this race is competitive is that he's running against Lindsey Graham.

best numbers for Biden in polling in SC are 45 or 46%.   Bledsoe would have to do way better than expected for that to be enough for Harrison.  And any pro-life or pro-gun voters who are supporting Biden are not people Harrison can afford to insult.

Turns out boosting a 3rd party challenger who you hope voters don't notice has dropped out is not a surefire election strategy.
