Don’t Trust People That Won’t Meet!

Certain political “types”, will literally refuse to speak with you.

It is almost as if they do it on purpose. Legislators, Drew McKissick … certain political “types” … they will literally refuse to speak with you.

And worse … they actually tell other people not to speak with you, usually based on a host of lies.

If you have not experienced it yet, it is probably because (1) you are falling for their tricks and being misled, (2) you have not asked the “hard” question that exposes “who” they really are … yet, or (3) perhaps you are just here for the social, and you are ok with compromises that go against basic Republican Platform principles.

But don’t worry … if you are an America FIRST SC Patriot … you will eventually get there … just keep digging!!!

But, Why Would They Not Speak? Sure, there are some people that are a bit “different” and you can never satisfy them … but that is not what we are talking about (and those people do not deserve to be blown off either by the way).

We are talking about your local pro-life, pro-2A, pro-Judicial Reform, etc. etc., etc., advocates. People who are grassroots and are NOT doing this for a “JOB”, but because they love their cause. Folks that have bought into the “conservative” platform, and believe in the dream. Folks that often know more about the topic than paid lobbyist … but don’t have the MONEY to wine and dine the politicians to get their attention. You know, they don’t have the $10,000 BlackRock pays to buy a US Senator. (HERE)

1) Don’t TRUST Folks That Won’t Meet!!!

LearnTheirTricks!!! These actions of refusing to talk with certain people are NOT normal. It is especially true when someone who “says” they have a specific cause, won’t talk with others who have the same cause.

One thing we have learned over the years those who really care about the cause will TALK … those who don’t care, will not.

So just beware of the “cold shoulder” … it may mean you are on the right track.

2) Really don’t TRUST Folks that “tolerate” Those That Won’t Meet!!!

Enablers!!! These folks in our experience are actually THE WORST. Who would tolerate “evil”, just because they were not directly involved? Who would sit silent and be OK with folks that are unwilling to meet and hurting the causes?

We were always told that President TRUMP would bring in both sides of an issue … sit them down in front of his desk … and let both sides hash it out. Then DJT would pick which one he thought had the winning argument.

Now that is leadership … and we wish some of the “leaders” in SC would do that. No takers so far!!!

Heck, we wish Drew McKissick would do that … but he won’t.

I hope folks are seeing what is going on!!!

Choosing the Right Candidate: A Thoughtful Approach

(#1) Electable & (#2) Collaborative

Published

Jeff Davis

by Jeff Davis

As we head into the 2026 South Carolina Primaries next June 9th, Republican (and Democrat) voters will be faced with picking which Republican (or Democrat) they want to represent them in the general election. It will be a choice we each have to make among the available options … the 2, 3 or 5 candidates that filed and are on the ballot … and there is no “None Of The Above” option. Sure, you don’t have to vote … but don’t complain later when you sat out the election.

We are seeing already … the jockeying by political consultants and their operatives to push their candidate (and tear down the opponents) … and the “PERFECTIONISTS” that complain about every candidate, but offer no solutions (and are not willing to run for office themselves).

A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH: Selection of a candidate to support is not easy. None of them are perfect, and how much can you really believe from what you hear on the campaign trail. What we like to encourage is that everyone think critically and logically about candidates and their campaigns, and steer clear as best you can of the emotional knee-jerk reactions that often dominate the discussions.

IT IS NOT JUST THE CANDIDATE – LOOK AT THEIR TEAM: While it’s tempting to focus solely on the candidate, it’s equally important to examine the people they surround themselves with. If you’re unaware of a candidate’s consultants (and their motivations), staff (and their roles), or the candidate’s supporters (who will inevitable have the ear of the candidate), it’s wise to hold off on offering your support. Ultimately, it’s not just about the candidate—it’s about their TEAM (or the “baggage” that comes with them).

We like to prioritize two key qualities when evaluating candidates:

(#1) Electability: A candidate (a) willing to run for office and (b) capable of winning. You may know the “perfect” person, but if they won’t run for office or are not capable of winning … what good are they?

(#2) Collaboration and Integrity: A candidate open to working with The People, with the grassroots, willing to listen, eager to include The People as part of their TEAM, and genuinely committed to doing what’s objectively right for the people—not just themselves (or their monied special interest backers). Here is where experience and judgment comes into consideration because you really don’t know what a candidate might do once elected. We have helped candidates get elected – and then never spoken with them again (not by our choice). Being lied to is a hard lesson to learn.

This process of selecting a candidate to back is both an art and a science, and while we may never find the “perfect” candidate, we can identify and support those who meet these two criteria and give us the best odds of promoting the conservative cause … at least until the next election when we will have another chance to try again.

THE TRUMP OF 2016: Reflecting on the field of “candidates” in 2016 … and the original “candidate” DONALD J. TRUMP … I believe that original candidate TRUMP, embodied these qualities, and that approach has proven effective in helping Save America.

STOP LOOKING FOR A “POLITICAL SAVIOR”: Most importantly, let’s remember, no candidate will save us. There is only one true “Savior”, and He is not running for office. Our work continues, so don’t think you are off the hook if your person gets elected. But having the right people – dedicated TEAM players – in elected positions from top to bottom can make all the difference.

Be smart … be logical … don’t be emotional … and don’t just complain, complain, complain.

TRUMP Shares Nancy MACE Polling Lead for Governor

Mace Leads with 25% over Wilson at 17%

Published

mySCGOP.news

TRUMP Truth Social Post (HERE)

The NANCY MACE campaign released polling numbers yesterday showing a commanding early lead in the South Carolina Governor’s Race … 25% MACE, 17% Alan Wilson, 10% Ralph Norman, 6% Pamela Evette, 3% Josh Kimbrell … with 38% Lean / Undecided. You can see the full reports HERE & below.

The polling results show MACE separating herself from the crowd since officially launching her candidacy last week and announcing AUSTIN MCCUBBIN (HERE), the 2024 TRUMP Team Statewide Director, has joined her team. This all seems to make MACE the early odds on favorite to win the Republican Primary next June 9th, 2026 … 294 days from today.

You can find more details on FITSNews (HERE & on X HERE) … but the real story broke when President TRUMP himself shared the MACE Polling Lead on his TRUTH Social (HERE) last night at 9:29pm. When the POTUS shares your leading polling data with the world … that is a not so subtle message.

Good news for NANCY MACE … but and incredibly bad sign for Lt. Governor Pamela Evette who is in a distant 4th with 6% of the vote. The Lt. Governor has led folks to believe she has TRUMP’s endorsement locked up. Well, that claim did not seem believable at the time … and really doesn’t appear believable now. When was the last time TRUMP endorsed someone in 4th place??? We can’t remember either.

Stay tuned … it is going to be a fun 2026 primary season!!!
