Tanked by a tweet

An eleventh-hour tweet by President Donald Trump seemed to seal the fate of Republican incumbent Rep. Mark Sanford in Tuesday's South Carolina primary. State legislator Katie Arrington defeated Sanford, one of the president's fiercest Republican critics, after Trump tweeted that Sanford was "nothing but trouble" and referenced the lawmaker's 2009 extramarital affair. It's the first time Trump has targeted a congressional Republican incumbent in the midterms. Washington Post

You're right. It's easier to win a primary as an outsider than a general. I think republican voters get that. They're saying in effect, we'll take our chances behind a guy we can respect. Not some lying cuck republican and Never Trumper.
