Cliche about South Carolina

While I have not seen the results, nor do I want too, I’m sure South Carolina Republican voters went for Trump.  The state has always been a pimple on the butt of America.  It was South Carolina Senator Sen. John C. Calhoun who came up with the discredited doctrine of “nullification,” whereby a state could “nullify” a law of the federal government.  


South Carolina was the first state to secede, and its attack on Fort Sumter made the Civil War inevitable.


Then we had Lindsey Graham, supposed friend of John McCain who, after McCain died, showed his true colors by sucking up to Trump.


Now the state is about as pro-Trump as it can get, even though its former governor was in the running for delegates.  Loyalty has never been a virtue in that state.


The cliche I’m referring to became popular some years back:  “South Carolina:  too small to be a country; too large to be an insane asylum.”
