Apparently a lot of voters are upset that Sanford wants to close down the Guantanamo prison because he opposes indefinite detention. His opponent, a state representative, posted about Sanford being one of only three Republicans to vote to shut down the prison on Facebook and the post has hundreds of comments: https://www.facebook.com/JennyAnders...54853163130299

I saw that. It is a little disappointing. Sanford is an outstanding Congressman and very underrated.

I don't imagine that his past, as a Bilderberg attendee, helped him out very much.

That.

I don't recall seeing headlines like that when establishment candidates win by narrow margins.

I pointed it out as an abundance of caution that liberty candidates need more support. A narrow win only encourages future candidates to run against Sanford just like when our candidates lose by a narrow margin, we hope that the results encourage them to run again.

11% isn't that narrow to me. It's not like he will lose the general either.

Sanford, Gowdy & Mulvaney's arrogance on Mexican illegal aliens is going to be a target in 2018 low turnout primary, as well once the candidates get schooled like Dave Brat did on changing his attacks on Cantor.

Compare his 11% win to all other incumbent primary victories.
