SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

HOW MUCH HANDWRITING ON THE WALL DO WE NEED? – FROM FOX:   An endorsement from former President Obama and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn in reliably blue Columbia, South Carolina was not enough to push the city’s Democratic mayoral candidate over the finish line.
Republican mayoral candidate Daniel Rickenmann, a businessman and Columbia city council member, defeated Democrat Tameika Isaac Devine by a margin of 52% to 48% on Tuesday night in Columbia, which sits in a county that President Biden carried by almost 40 points in 2020.   Former President Obama, according to Washington Free Beacon, released an audio message in support of Devine, and the former president carried the city’s county by 29 points in 2008 and 33 points in 2012.  Rep. Clyburn, one of the most prominent Democrats in both the South and the Black community, who many believe saved President Biden’s flailing 2020 campaign with his endorsement, also endorsed Devine.  My heart breaks for the dear Democrats.  If they'd occasionally listen more to the people and less to the "I love Lenin" fan club, they'd be much better off.
