Isn’t it obvious how badly the MSM wants this to be the end of Fred’s campaign?

Absolutely right.

If he doesn’t come in at a least a strong second, who I’ll REALLY be mad at, are the voters of South Carolina.

I’ll be FURIOUS with Fred -—— if he quits now.
No particularly SIGNIFICANT part of the nation has had the opportunity to have their say yet.

To quit now would be like quitting the football game because you didn’t make a touchdown in the first four plays after the opening kickoff.

FRED: It is still early;
If you quit now, I want my last donation back. Stay in and I’ll send you more.

Yes, I’m certain that Thompson announced and has gone through all of the travel and appearances because he has absolutely no interest in the job. /s

This morning, Fox referred to the 2 Republicans campaigning in SC, McCain and Huckabee..

Completely ignored Fred.

We are so screwed. We have got to get this process fixed. Our candidate is being picked by Leftists in the early states because Republicans are now too dumb to vote for who they agree with instead of who they are being told by the Junk Meida is going to win.

You said it! amen.

Nope a Die hard republican that watched as Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter. As a fellow Georgian I knew we was Screwed.

What happened to the Panama Canal how many Marines died in Iran, and the worst US Economy in My life time all because of Carter.

The Republican party woke up and we nominated Reagan.

I agree. No matter the outcome in SC, Fred should stay in.

We have no idea how things will shake out in coming weeks.

You can’t win the lottery without a ticket and you can’t win the trophy without being in the game.

I’m not convinced that Thompson wants the job.

I think he does, but he runs a lousy campaign, IMO. Yes, the MSM ignores him, but if he cannot win or close to winning in SC, it says something about his campaign.

why does the GOP even award delegates in open primaries?

We've yet to have a primary in which we count only our own members

the primary system is completely stilted and should be scrapped and perhaps we should have only closed primaries all on just one or two days

“I want Fred to win so badly. I cannot tell you how mad at him I’ll be if he doesn’t do well.”

If current exit polls are right he will certainly carry a share of the blame, but he also had almost a complete media shut-out. No amount of fire-in-the-belly could have worked to offset the tremendous media bias (largely from FOX, not surprising to those of us who’ve observed the FNCs recent coziness with certain candidates from New York).

Okay if you say so. You keep supporting RINOs you get what you deserve.

I rather a Dem muck it up than a Rep muck it up. But hey that just me.

Oh since you asked Ford, Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, ??? Guess I am a Democratic

If Fred doesn’t win SC, I am done with FOX (going back to playing PS2) they have been so bias against him, all day long it was MCLAME, MCLAME, MCLAME... I HATE MACLAME and will never ever vote for him.

Is S. C. "open or closed" election? If it is "open" then non-Republicans can and will vote.

Good Republican candidates should NOT be driven off by non-Republicans voting for liberals and RINO candidates!

Only truly authentic primaries "closed to only Republicans who were registered before both dim and Republican Caucus (Primaries) would vote.

We must not allow our voices to be diluted by dimocRATS nor "independents" who are usually liberal and many times choose to vote dimocRAT in other elections.

Yes, in November, the Republican Presidential candidate willl and should reach out to the independents and conservative dimocRATS but NOT before!
