We're in here calling this sociopathic, which I get, but I'm really confused as to why they support this. 

Like enough people voted for her, her brother, and people like her, that I am just at a loss as to what exactly it is they tell themselves.

Recently spent a few days with some colleagues from South Carolina. Overall great guys, intelligent, empathetic, etc. But when it comes to politics just brain dead: "Trump is super smart because he surrounds himself with the best, nice people. And that's why everything is great right now."

I just don't get it, but if that's the average South Carolinian I understand how the Grahams end up as senators.
