Yep. Sadly we aren't flipping South Carolina anytime soon. There's no Raleigh, Charlotte, or Atlanta to help us.

The only federal SC seat we might be able to flip, barring redistricting, is SC-01, probably the least red of the 6 GOP seats and represented by Nancy Mace who sometimes seems to go out of her way to piss people off.

I thought Nancy Mace started off in her first term in the House with a moderate persona and came across as intelligent, well-read even if sheтАЩs serving the wrong party.

Then she did everything she could to worship Trump and her messaging ended up making her a hypocrite. Mace still has some moderate views but her agenda can get cluttered with what the GOP wants her to do.

In other words, Mace has become another Elise Stefanik, who like her also had moderate views as a House member (including being pro-environment) but became TrumpтАЩs dedicated, loyal foot soldier.

Outside of Jim ClyburnтАЩs district which is blue, SC-01 has more room for growth for Democrats.

But thatтАЩs not enough as the rest of SC is deep red.
