The headlines regarding the South Carolina primary yesterday read that Arrington beat Sanford. What actually happened is that Trump beat the never Trumpers. Mark Sanford used to be governor of South Carolina until he resigned after a bizarre scandal. He later ran for and won a seat in Congress. Perhaps his most notable victory came when he defeated the sister of Steven Colbert a few years ago. In Congress, however, Sanford was a consistent critic of President Trump. Yesterday, as the primary was underway, Trump tweeted to voters in the district that they should vote for Sanford's opponent. It worked. Sanford lost by just 2500 votes. It seems like a pretty sure conclusion that Trump's tweet brought him down.
