Crossroads 2026: Nancy Mace and the Trump Endorsement Spin Cycle
The South Carolina governor’s race is making waves in Washington, D.C. if one headline is to be believed…

I could give two steaming dog turds worth of care about a Trump nomination at this point. The only good thing he has done this term is get the boarder under control and DEI out of government. Everything else has been chaotic sound and fury, signifying nothing, and in some cases actually doing harm. DOGE? Elon and Co. found tons of graft – almost nothing done about it. The Tariff Wars have only made everything more expensive. His claim that he could end the Ukraine War in 24-48 hrs was complete bullshit. Nat a single person responsible for the COVID tyranny has even so much as been demoted or lost a job, much less be prosecuted for fraud. Remember those stickers on gas pumps depicting Biden pointing to the price screen and saying “I did that?” If we conservatives were intellectually honest, we would be putting Trump stickers up in their place.
Congaree Catfish Top Fan, CORRECTION: DEI is only out of the FEDERAL Government, if that. It moved with a vengeance to state governments, and most significantly to local governments. Check Richland County’s new hires/promotions for example.
All women are NOT Democrats; and Republican women want patronage jobs, too. Remember Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women”? And considering Nancy Mace’s man-hating rhetoric, if elected, she will most likely borrow Mitt Romney’s binders.
If hiring were based on pure merit and ability/willingness to get work done, the formal workforce will be highly populated with the first-generation you “conservatives” hate so much and desperately want to throw out of the country.
SubZero: almost no conservatives I know or follow “hate” lawful first-generation immigrants who abide by the law, pay their taxes, and don’t bring their generational/racial/religious feuds from their homeland [to the extent they exist – it’s not everywhere and in all situations.] Maybe you are thinking of fringe strains of thought, like that weirdo Nick Fuentes and his ilk. Conservatives do want to limit the abuse of HB-1 visas that result in displacing qualified US citizens from the job market in their own economy.
Congaree Catfish Top Fan: I have been asking since the early 1990s “what does ‘conservative’ mean in America in general and in South Carolina in particular?” And I have been asking sincerely, not retorhically.
Sadly, no one gave me a non-hypocritical answer; so, I had to whittle it down for myself.
Is it free-market capitalism? If so, then HB-1 visas are free-market capitalism at its best: the best qualified (or equally qualified) at the lowest salary.
Is it the Holy Commandments (which are “Ten” only in Hollywood) from the Judeo-Christian tradition and posting them in schools? That would be the end of capitalism or at the least of advertising-dependent journalism. “Thou shalt not covet.” What is advertising and capitalism other than coveting?
Notice that the commandments about coveting do not necessarily ban acting on the covetousness. They ban the feeling itself. Stealing thy neighbor’s ox or raping thy neighbor’s wife have separate Commandments. But if you just covet, you have transgressed the Commandments.
Is it chastity and non-homosexual conduct? You know the answer better than I do.
What is left then? Don’t blame me too much if I conclude it is racism and xenophobia.
Not that liberals lack racism or xenophobia. They are just more hypocritical about them than conservatives.

There’s a complete moral failing for the Republican party when it still cares about who Trump endorses or which politician wants to emulate Trump as if such a thing is a positive in 2026.
