Teachers could easily do a week-long lesson plan on the art of propaganda and gaslighting just by reading this letter claiming "Republican strength" due to the number of candidates filing under their diminishing brand. What he doesn't (and can't conceivably) tell his members: 1️⃣ A large portion of the Republicans filing to run are to PRIMARY THEIR OWN INCUMBENTS! Just take a look at the SC House races - a large number of R's are filing to replace other R's. And the US Senate Race! I think we're up to 87 Republicans who have filed to run against him. Not exactly a sign of strength and unity. 2️⃣ Every single SC State House seat has a Democratic candidate who filed to run for it. The Republicans? Nope. They've left some seats uncontested. Again, not a good look. South Carolina Democratic Party #SouthCarolina #SCDems #SCGOP #CandidateFiling
