Lindsey Graham Challenger Lee Bright Aligns Himself with Ted Cruz, Rand Paul GOP Wing

[cali]

In the Republican Liberty Caucus’ endorsement of state Sen. Lee Bright for the U.S. Senate Wednesday, the group’s seemingly mild-mannered, genial state chairman stepped up to a podium here to offer particular praise not usually associated with the pugnacious politician he was feting.

“The thing that really stands out for me is that he is a unifier. He can bring together the various aspects, the various segments of the Republican Party of South Carolina,” said RLC South Carolina chairman Scott Pearson. “And he can do that in a way that our incumbent is not able to do.”

In just a few short minutes later, Bright -- who is one of three Republicans challenging Sen. Lindsey Graham in next June’s primary -- blew that notion up all by himself.

“I don’t believe in compromise,” he matter-of-factly told the RLC’s gathering of about 35 at a local water plant. “I think there is no compromise when it comes between liberty and tyranny.”

4. If I thought we had a chance of beating either of them, I'd be thrilled.

Instead, I think you're right. We'll get the one who's backwards (and incapable of compromise and governing) instead of the one who's backwards (but, at least, slightly capable of compromise and governing).

Sigh.

3. Well, I never thought I'd be rooting for Graham, but I am. nt
