South Carolina Can Save America

My wife and I relocated to South Carolina 15 years ago and never looked back. Things still make sense here; shoplifting is a crime and the police are the good guys and the bad police are put in jail. The vast majority of South Carolinians were outraged at the brutality of Hamas and believe the world would be a better place without them. Students go to our colleges to learn, not to be radicalized. Every corner of South Carolina has its own unique beauty, from the beaches to the mountains. We take for granted our 310 days of sunshine every year, we shouldn't, it's a blessing.

Now South Carolina finds itself in the unique position of being the third stop in the primary elections. In 2020, thanks to the endorsement of Rep. James Clyburn we propelled Joe Biden to the White House. Some of us are happy about that, some aren't, but that's not the point. The point is we the people of South Carolina have been given the power to sway our presidential elections in a very big way.

The way things look right now Joe Biden will win the Democratic nomination and Donald Trump will win the Republican nomination. Joe Biden is running unopposed so love him or hate him, he's going to win the democratic primary. Donald Trump on the other hand does have opponents including our own former Governor Nikki Haley. Here's where your vote can make a difference.

In South Carolina, any registered voter can vote in either primary but only one or the other. Democrats and independents can vote in the republican primary and help Nikki Haley win and more importantly hand Donald Trump a decisive lose. God only knows what he'll accuse us of, but I promise you, he'll come up with something.

Without South Carolina stepping in and derailing Donald Trump he may well be elected President again. Four more years of craziness. Our federal government barely functions as it is and when it does, it works to benefit one party and their insiders. Did you get a $7500 rebate for buying a new Tesla?

Hatred and division is ruining our country. In his four years as President, Donald Trump did nothing to stop this but has only made it worse. Joe Biden in his three years has done nothing to stop this but has only made it worse. Nikki Haley is an intelligent, insightful and caring person who can unite our country and put us back on the right path. South Carolina is in the unique position of being able to stop Donald Trump and send a message to the rest of the country that we've had enough of the lying, squabbling, Trump trials, Hunter Biden and impeachments. We can propel Nikki Haley to the republican nomination and possibly on to the presidency by voting for her in the Republican primary Saturday February 24th.

I know South Carolina can do it because things still make sense here.
