Under Pressure? VOTE NO!!!

It is one of the most common tricks in the “establishment” book

Published

It is one of the most common tricks in the “establishment” book … bring up something dramatic that you have to vote on RIGHT NOW!!!

No time to think about it (or figure out the truth) … “they” need you to vote this way, this very second, on a major issue. Just “trust me”.

GREENVILLE COUNTY CONVENTION EXAMPLE:

We saw that here in Greenville with the Greenville County Convention back on April 24th, 2023 … the establishment / opposition candidate for Chairman, Sam Manley, came out with a video literally one day before the convention (falsely) claiming that Federal Election Commission records showed that Yvonne Julian (the ultimate winner – HERE) had donated to Democrats in 2014, 2016 & 2018. A local establishment news blog even shared the false claim as well (conveniently without fact checking as they had endorsed the “establishment” ticket) … so people believed it must be true, right?

Well, had it been true it would have been disturbing … but it wasn’t true at all, not by a longshot … A COMPLETE LIE!!!

Some convention delegates figured it out in time, but the vote was closer than it should have been … 438 to 405 … likely because some people believed the LIE. And had Yvonne lost, because of a LIE, what would have happened?

Nothing!!! There are not “do overs” in elections (or leadership votes) … at least not immediately in most cases. And no one seems to suffer the ramifications of these LIES. Sam Manley should be ashamed to show his face (like some of the others that help perpetrate the LIE), but he is in fact today parading himself around as a “TRUMP County Captain” … hanging out buddy buddy with establishment politicians … all after outright LYING 4 months ago in a vain attempt to win an election. Is that right? No, we don’t think so!!! It wasn’t an innocent mistake … to us it was a career killer.

And, what does it say about the people who condone these outright LIES??? That is most troubling part … how can anyone condone outfight LIES like this? Doing so won’t bode well for those people either. Unrepentant LIES can not be tolerated.

Realize people LIE in politics because it works … and that is our fault … we can not fall for the LIES or the last minute “crisis”!!! #LearnTheirTricks!!!

Nor can we condone these LIES by looking the other way after the fact.

So … as a RULE … when there is a last minute “crisis”, just table to vote for a later time so people can consider the matter … or if you have to vote, vote against whatever they are pressuring you to do, or whatever last minute revelation that comes out.

State & Local GOP Meetings:

Since there are no ReOrg or Convention elections until March & April 2025, we are seeing this “trick” play out at local county and the state GOP meetings.

36 HOURS NOTICE: We saw it out of SCGOP Executive Director Hope Walker who 36 hours before the June 17th State Executive Committee meeting informed Jeff Davis (the Greenville State EC elected on April 24th) that he could not attend the meeting. No time to correct the situation or for other County ECs to consider the matter. A made up “crisis” to force through a nefarious outcome.

The vote to keep Davis out was much closer that the SCGOP “establishment” wanted (HERE) … but your county State ECs should have voted “NO” (and allowed Davis in the meeting) for no other reason than the matter should not have been sprung on everyone at the last minute. #LearnTheirTricks!!!

So, why did the SCGOP wait until the last minute to deny Davis entry … because, like LIES, it worked (at least this time)!!!

LOCAL GOP MEETINGS:

We are also seeing this tactic play out at local County GOP meetings.

Groups of individuals, often some co-opted MAGA & America FIRST folks who want to be in leadership / power themselves, working (overtly or covertly) with the old guard “establishment” who want to do everything they can to slow down the America FIRST agenda. Don’t fall for these tricks!!!

[NOTE TO SELF …if you have to work with RINOs against other America FIRST Patriots to cobble together the votes you need … you might be on the wrong side!!!]

It happened in the 2021- 2023 ReOrg term with both the Horry & Oconee County GOPs where the “establishment” were able to use these political tactics to take back the local county party.

But folks are waking up to those “tricks”. The disenfranchised and “establishment” will keep trying it as it does work sometimes … but #LearnTheirTricks!!! Don’t fall for it. Hold the Line!!!

Again … as a RULE … when there is a last minute “crisis”, just table to vote for a later time so people can consider the matter … or if you have to vote, vote against whatever they are pressuring you to do, or whatever last minute revelation that comes out.

Keep swinging friends … we are #Winning!!!

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

August 19, 2025

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!!!
