You have to laugh at The State newspaper. The wishful-thinking, political Armageddon The State's Jamie Self is describing has to give you a chuckle.
Self says the GOP-Controlled Senate is imploding. in-short, because Sen. John Courson does not want to be Lt. Governor.
Self explains: “Gov. Nikki Haley’s No. 2 as lieutenant governor soon could be a Democrat and the GOP-majority Senate could elect a former Democrat – and sometimes Haley critic – as president pro tempore.”
Self is critical of the GOP Senate, but then finally reveals her hand: “Single senators can block bills," Self said. "Republicans also have their own almost daily in-fighting, as the GOP’s ultra-conservative William Wallace Caucus bucks the governor and Republican leadership," she added.
And that is what is REALLY eating at Self and the liberals at The State. Powerful Conservatives senators, blocking liberals.
Also: Courson signals Self not to get too excited over the “implosion” she is seeing.
“When the 121st General Assembly begins in January, we need to right the ship,” Courson tells her. And that is what will happen. Until then, the Senate is out and not much is going on.
Not to mention: The Lt. Gov. position has almost no power, which is why no one wants the position, other than a Democrat. Because that's the only way he an get it.
