is to have the far right-wing disillusioned to the degree that they refuse to vote for the R. I don't really see that with Graham.

My current guess, and I think the consensus of Party activists here, is that if the election were held today Graham would win with a historic low margin of 4-5%, with Trump taking the state by about the same margin. Considering that trump won SC by 15% and Graham by 16% the last time they ran, this shows some significant progress, and we are not giving up on pulling the big upset.
