Grand Strand Politics Show 5: Haley Bashing and Biden Winning
Show Notes Chapter Markers


In this episode we see the South Carolina Primary starting to heat up, which is what this primary is historically well known for doing.  We will feature two Donald Trump for President events , one in Columbia centered on Nikki Haley's record on illegal immigration as compared to that of President Donald Trump , and another in Horry County at the Conway Courthouse that centers on Governor Haley's friendly relationship with China.

It is an all star cast of speakers from Attorney General Alan Wilson, State Treasurer Curtis Loftus, to Representatives Stuart Jones and Bill Taylor, then when we get to Horry County, we will hear from Representatives Case Brittain, and Val Guest and then  Congresswoman Nancy Mace and the State's biggest rising political star Congressman Russell Fry, as they talk Chinese Spy Balloons and Nikki Haley's supposed status as the Chinese's favorite Governor. 

This episode begins the hard hitting nature for which the South Carolina Primary has become famous and this cycle is just getting started.

Then we switch gears, and sides, to cover the South Carolina Democratic Presidential Primary which this year became the first in the election cycle on the Democratic side. It was pretty much a non event, given that after Robert Kennedy Jr decided to run as an independent that turned it into  essentially a one man show on their side of the fence.  Joe Biden carried 97% of the vote in a state that has always looked out for him. The big question for his campaign, however, was the extraordinarily low turn out, only 200,000 voters statewide. Is that an ominous sign for the race to come?  Who knows for sure,  but we do know this for sure we are now officially underway in the race for the White House.
