Dept. of low turnout

Donald Trump's withdrawal has had real, embarrassing consequences for the local groups and officials who rushed to embrace him, including the Iowa Republican Party, and the South Carolina Tea Party group before whose badly diminished ranks Gov. Nikki Haley is pictured speaking.

John O'Connor writes:

Columbia Tea Party chairman Allen Olson expected as many as 2,000 would have attended Thursday’s rally had Trump been there. But The Donald, a favorite of many who attended the group’s Tax Day rally with U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., elected to not run and dropped the rally from his schedule.

Olson said the legislative losses will motivate Tea Party members...

In the end, O'Connor writes, 30 people showed up to the rally to thank Haley for her push for transparency in the statehouse.
