#1 One of the blogs I read reminded me that the South Carolina primary is "open" meaning voters can cross party lines. It was offered as an explanation behind the failure of defeating Mace, as there was strong cross party support for her as an anti-Trump vote. Anybody got a good insight into the veracity of this?

#2 Nancy Mace criticized Trump without impeaching him, and only for a period of a week or so. That's a bright red line that Tom Rice crossed. Mace did not do a mea culpa, but she did everything short of that - the way she talks about Trump these days, you'd think she was Trump's biggest fan in the country. That's why Murkowski, Sasse (in 2026) and Cheney are likely doomed. Unlike Mace, not only did they not back off, they put the pedal to the metal on the Trump hatred.

#3 The thing about the media is it's got a pre-configured template on political stories that takes everything bad about perceived enemies while keeping only the good things that come to mind about friends. Unfortunately for the GOP, the media sees Republicans as the enemy. Which is why just about every negative story about a Republican is an overall lie, even when every detail is true - they just leave out the exculpatory bits.
