In South Carolina, Democratic voters shocked the Party by putting an unemployed, former military vet, who’d raised no money and is facing a felony rap for sending pornography to an 18 y/o University of South Carolina student.
Wow! They must really be mad...
“Greene, 32, an unemployed military veteran from Manning who raised no campaign funds and was unknown to Democratic officials even in his home town, won the primary over Rawl, a former judge and state lawmaker from Charleston, with nearly 60 percent of the vote.
“The S.C. Democratic Party called on Greene to withdraw as the nominee-elect the following day, after it was reported that Greene was facing a felony obscenity charge stemming from an arrest in November for allegedly showing pornography to an 18-year-old University of South Carolina student in a computer lab at the school.”

One voter questioned by the Charleston Post and Courier, Debbie Harper of West Ashley said, “I wanted someone fresh and because I didn't want another attorney in there," she said, explaining why she voted for Greene last week over the favored candidate Vic Rawl. Debbie Harper added, "I don't think he's (Greene) any worse or better than the rest of them..."
I think a LOT of Americans share that exact assessment of the current political class.
