Georgia & NC State Convention Report
Both dramatically different from the SCGOP Convention
This past weekend both the North Carolina & the Georgia GOP State Conventions were held … and both were dramatically different from the SCGOP Convention held in Lexington on May 20th.
National Showcase Speakers!!!
First of all, both the NC and the Georgia conventions had national showcased speakers. Even though both conventions were on the same day, President TRUMP himself spoke live & in-person in both NC & Georgia.
Vivek Ramaswamy spoke at the Georgia GOP Convention and committed to pardon President TRUMP on Day #1 (Jan 20th, 2025) if elected.
“It would be much easier for me to win this election if Trump weren’t in the race, but I stand for principles over politics. I commit to pardon Trump promptly on January 20, 2025 and to restore the rule of law in our country,” Vivek said.
Even though DeSantis & Pence backed out of the Georgia GOP Convention last minute … they did both speak at the NC Convention.
Although not really a big surprise given their poor polling numbers and expected lack of grassroots delegate support in both Georgia & NC, Tim Scott & Nikki Haley were nowhere to be seen.
However, as an added bonus … Kari Lake was the keynote speaker at a dinner Friday night at the Georgia GOP Convention.
Both Conventions were TELEVISED!!!
Next, both the NC and the Georgia conventions were televised live!!! Like serious national press coverage … livestreaming both events to a worldwide audience … and with the global press in attendance.
It was a showcase event for their respective GOPs and their respective States.
The SCGOP Convention … a complete dud as it relates to the video & national press coverage. We do not believe they were allowed by the SCGOP to video or livestream the event.
Both Conventions were HUGE Events!!!
Both conventions were HUGE events where Republicans in both states could RALLY around the Republican cause. The Georgia GOP State Convention alone had 2,261 DELEGATES (compared to 943 for SC), plus alternates … and along with the Press, their convention allowed guests to attend the event as well.
It was celebration and rallying point to kickoff the 2024 presidential election season for both states. Both will be key states in the general election.
The GAGOP gave 7 1/2 Months Notice!!!
And whereas the SCGOP Convention date & location was withheld until the last moment here in South Carolina … the Georgia “2023 Convention Call” was made on October 24th, 2022 … nearly 7 1/2 months in advance.
The GAGOP Convention was a 3 DAY Event!!!
Although the SCGOP State Convention was an in & out affair … as fast as possible … the Georgia GOP State Convention was a 3 DAY EVENT!!!
It was not necessarily cheap … but although that can be an issue for some (which can be addressed in other ways) … it was a fantastic opportunity to come together and RALLY for the Republican cause.
Given the division in the SC Republican Party … we could have really used this sort of a format … that is “if” the SCGOP leadership really wanted unity, which we do not think they do since they are the source of the division with the SC Republican Party.
Remember … they want to “Keep it SMALL, to control it ALL!!!”
Tons of Convention Information:
And this was mind blowing. Go to the Georgia GOP website. There is a TON of information on the GAGOP Convention.
As compared to the SCGOP Convention … it was like pulling teeth to find any information whatsoever and we could not even get the agenda or convention rules until we got to the convention … and even the Resolutions to be passed (and a few FAQs) were only published 3 days prior to the convention. What a mess!!!
www.gagop.org/2023-state-convention/
Most Importantly … No Democrat Representation!!!
And this was the kicker!!! We have not surveyed other states, but we did notice that in at least Georgia, the state delegate allocations for counties are made based on REPUBLICAN VOTERS … not population like in South Carolina. Ask yourself, why do Democrats get representation in the SCGOP?
We noticed this problem when Drew McKissick tried to ramrod H 4066 through the SC Legislature in an obvious attempt to give himself more “power” over the SCGOP. That effort passed the SC House in record speed since McKissick obviously has a great many allies there … but it failed in the SC Senate where we are told he is not liked.
SIDE NOTE: Maybe the fact Drew McKissick has more “friends” in the SC House explains why he apparently was able to stop / stall the $55 MILLION “real” school choice bill (PACE / ACE – S285) in the House while it passed in the Senate. Hmmmm …
Why not with the SCGOP Convention?
All of the above makes total sense to us … it is businesslike … and it is what leaders would be doing if they wanted to #GrowTheGOP here in South Carolina.
But as you know SC is “different” … and as we teach … the “establishment” appears to simply want to “Keep it SMALL, to control it ALL!!!”
Certainly NC & GA have their own problems and concerns with the “establishment” Republicans in those two states … but at least they seem interested in growing their respective GOPs and providing a more open and transparent process than what is ramrodded through here in SC.
LearnTheirTricks!!!
We are not talking the late musician Tom Petty (HERE) or the famous NASCAR driver Richard Petty (HERE) … but we are talking the petty little people out there in politics that do dirty little things just for spite.
PETTY DEFINED: The Urban Dictionary defines petty as “a person who is purposefully childish with the intent of eliciting a reaction,” or “someone who does something in an attempt to hurt another person but really makes themselves look stupid.”
Petty Email Tricks
There are two nasty “political” email tricks we have noticed over the years that are hard to believe, but actually happen all the time.
(#1) Unsubscribing others from emails: First off, we have people contact us all the time saying they no longer receive our emails and asking what happened. We will check and the system will say they unsubscribed.
But the person never unsubscribed … so what happened?
Generally the person has forwarded our email to others in their precinct … and one of those people (a RINO) marked the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of the email footer.
Maybe by mistake … but most people know what they are doing, and they are doing it on purpose and to be nasty and petty.
SIMPLE SOLUTION … before you forward emails, remove the “unsubscribe” links from the footer of the email. Just highlight the links and hit delete … especially if you are forwarding the email to RINOs. 😉 It is easy.
(#2) Marking valid emails as “SPAM”: This petty little email trick is a classic.
As you may know, the more people that mark an email as “SPAM”, the more likely the big email providers (Google, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) with automatically send those emails to “JUNK”.
Folks that don’t want others to see / read our emails (yes, RINOs again) will mark them as “SPAM” on purpose … and we have seen many an experienced political operative, and even politicians, mark our emails as SPAM.
We even had one person this month sign-up for our email (“shawn.m.miller@outlook.com“) … using an obvious fake name (“Jim LaHounae”) … and when they opened their first email from us (ironically a mySCGOP Happy Sunday email), they marked it as SPAM.
Really nasty right?!?!? Especially given the Sunday message … but this is what these petty & envious people do.
When folks are scared others will hear your message and learn … petty political people will do everything they can to silence your voice. Granted anyone could have signed up “shawn.m.miller@outlook.com” … but only the one person with that email address could have marked it as “SPAM”. Not nice.
LearnTheirTRICKS!!!
DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE: As the saying goes … “it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.
Translation: if you’re not happy, do something about it … and that doesn’t mean go out and be petty and nasty to other people living their mission or dream … it means to go out an build something positive and good yourself.
Remember, “envy” is one of the seven deadly sins.
DontBePETTY!!!
“Blowing out someone else’s candle won’t make yours burn any brighter.”
You have to have a little FUN sometimes, and one Clemson student did just that at President TRUMP’s visit to the campaign HQ in Charleston on Monday.
As the President was signing hats for people he asked “will you sign my excuse for school”.
Of course President TRUMP said YES!!!
We hope his professors don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome 😉
Enjoy …

But what do you do when someone you KNOW PERSONALLY exhibits the exact same traits of derangement syndrome? [CONTINUE READING]

As we are entering the beautiful month of October, the month of transition, the month of change, slow down, look inward, reflect. Start the new month with strong intentions, renewed goals, deeper faith, less distractions, fewer doubts … as only the Lord knows which seed will grow and which won’t.
“But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.”
Mark 13:23
To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), NEVER GIVE UP!
Happy Sunday!
