Another Senate RINO in primary trouble - Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina | Eastern NC Now

Conservatives are well on their way to removing some key RINOs in the US Senate in GOP primaries.  In Texas, conservative challenger state Attorney General Ken Paxton has a solid lead in the polls in his runoff with RINO Sen. John Cornyn.  In Louisiana, RINO Sen. Bill Cassidy in running third in the polls for the first round of the primary, behind two conservatives.  Now polls are showing a third key RINO US Senator in primary trouble.

RINO Senator Lindsay Graham, known as "Grahamnesty" for his longtime support of amnesty for illegal aliens,  is in for a tough primary challenge from self funded conservative businessman Mark Lynch.  The key development is that other conservatives have pulled out leaving Lunch running one on one with Graham.  Lynch has put $5 million of his own money into the primary challenge so far.

Initially, high profile conservative former two term conservative Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer jumped into the race, followed by Lynch and "2025 Project" head Paul Daris.  Seeing the difficulties of a split in the conservative vote, Bauer dropped out within a few months, and now Datis has done the same, endorsing Lynch.

With the conservative vote now consolidating behind Lynch, the latest poll shows that among voters familiar with both candidates, Lunch is now leading Graham.

Unfortunately, President Trump has endorsed Graham, much like his similar endorsement of pro-amnesty Sen. THom Tillis iin NC six years ago and of RINO Michael Whatley this year.  Trump has not made an endorsement in Texas and has endorsed one of the conservative challengers in Louisiana.
