Whatever else happens in South Carolina this week or on Super Tuesday next Tuesday or down the line in this election, for this bright red states leading paper to endorse an openly gay guy for president in 2020 should be cause for celebration.

(13,856 posts)7. The State paper is actually quite liberal for SC
So is the paper in Charleston, while the Greenville paper is very conservative.
The State paper gives considerable coverage to LGBQT issues, has enthusiastically endorsed and supported Columbia's AA mayor, and endorsed Hillary over Trump in 2016. I expected them to endorse Biden, but they see his candidacy as beginning to unravel.
Any inference that this is a case of picking the weakest candidate is dead wrong.
and btw, I have been reading the State paper for several decades.
