Trump won by double digits again. Hard to compare the win to the polls because some of them like the NBC/WSJ decided to do an agenda poll right before the election. Right about now they are trying to get the rotten egg out of their hair.
Ladies and Gentlemen we have a 3 Way Race for the Republican Party.
Trump: Watching the TV last night I saw it from all three major networks. "Yeah, Trump won, but we will talk about who wins the 2nd place". This was a dominating double digit win. He won all of the delegates. At times FOX NEWS at least went to the digital board and show that Cruz's supposed evangelical base is just not there. It wasn't until Hannity came on and he had Mayor Giuliani on who finally pointed out just how big of a win this is. Now many of the pundits and the people who don't like Trump will complain about the vitriol. But this is South Carolina, they like to see if a candidate can take a punch and then punch back. What they saw was a power hitter laying people flat out.
Rubio: With Jeb bowing out and I consider Kasich a non factor. Marco should pick up the Establishment support. His speech was nice, the guy can really give a polished speech. But this is another problem. I really think that along with Political Correctness, canned speeches are becoming so "Last Election Cycle". This country elected a President that is a master of reading off a Teleprompter, a master at it. All the other skills required for the job were totally lacking and we are currently paying the price. But it was a pretty speech. This is where the "Cieling" crap on TV was crazy, they assume that Rubio will get ALL of Jeb's numbers. And that is just not true. He will get most. But "most" will not be enough to overcome Trump.
Cruz: Outside of Jeb, Cruz was the biggest loser. Almost immediately Cruz's people were saying "South Carolina" means nothing. This state was never on our radar, was never a "Must win". They were spinning like a Kenmore on meth. All we heard was how Cruz was going to carry the state, or at least carry the evangelical vote. He went about the state with pastors far & wide, he toured with Glen Beck, who I must say...Cruz needs to distance himself from Beck, he is giving off serious "Looney" vibes. Glen Beck IMHO needs to grab some prepper food packs and go live in a cave for a while till his sanity returns. I used to DVR his TV show on FOX NEWS, I really liked the guy, but since he went solo the marbles have been escaping the noggin.....get my drift? Back to Cruz. He has the deep, deep conservative vote. That vote alone will not win him the nomination. Outside of a decent showing in Texas (his home state), I just cant see a path to the Nomination for him.
Other tid bits. Things are looking good for the eventual GOP Nominee. Turnout between the parties are almost polar opposites. The Democrats were lucky to get a couple dozen to caucus in Nevada. New Hampshire numbers were the same, way down from 2008. Iowa is hiding the final tally. But in NH and SC, Republican turnout have set records.
We live in interesting times my friends. I hope your popcorn supply is high. If not ask Glen Beck, I am sure he has a stockpile in his prepper supply.
For some of us, cold anger has been here for years.
