South Carolina Republican Primary

[pikachu]

So if Graham runs (as is looking more likely now), does he win the SC primary fairly easily or does he lose to the more conservative candidate/establishment frontrunner? IIRC, he was supposed to be challenged in 2014, but the Tea Party couldn't find a candidate to oppose him.

Wait, are we believing that Graham is going to run for president?

I'm pretty sure Graham will run, but I don't think he'd win SC. There'd have to be a massively split field because he's barely going to enter double digits if he even gets invited to debate and such and remains in the field to this point.

Yeah, he might not even get invited to a debate if the field is crowded enough.

If Huckabee, Romney, Bush, Christie, Walker, Paul, Rubio, Cruz, Carson, Santorum, and Perry all run, thats 11 candidates right there.  That's 3 more than the number of candidates in any of the 2012 debates and I'm sure I missed a few people.

1 of the 2012 debates had 9 candidates on stage. A larger debate is hardly unprecedented. Several of the 2008 debates had 10 or 11 candidates on stage.
