A Donald Trump Victory Could Clash With South Carolina’s Self-Image
State Representative Jenny Horne, a Republican who drew attention last summer with an impassioned speech urging the Confederate flag’s removal, said in an interview that she admired Mr. Trump’s outsider campaign and that he was among the candidates she might support on Saturday.
“Nothing he’s said is offensive to me,” said Ms. Horne, who is running for Congress this year. “The Trump phenomenon is a byproduct of many years of establishment candidates who, No. 1, don’t tell the American people the truth and, No. 2, are totally disconnected from what Americans really care about.”
.. “Now, you can look at our senators, look at our governor, and see how much we’ve come along as a state,” said Mr. Torres, 29, a native of Mount Pleasant. Still, he acknowledged, “Looking outside of the big cities, it’s Trump supporters.”
