McMaster has a impeccable resume like Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
Except DeWine won most of his races, unlike McMaster, as evident from your very own summary.
McMaster's unsuccessful races came at a time where South Carolina was far more Democratic at the local level than it is now, and he ran against formidable incumbents (Sen. Fritz Hollings, Lt. Gov. Nick Theodore). That being said, he strikes me as a guy who can win if he's the GOP nominee, but who has marginal PERSONAL popularity.
