The other question raised by a Trump victory in South Carolina, though, is why that dynamic would change. In CNN's poll, Trump beats Ted Cruz by a wider margin among evangelical voters than he does among voters overall -- a voting bloc that is supposed to be in Cruz's corner.
(In Iowa, where the majority of Republican voters identified as evangelical, Cruz won evangelicals by 12 points. In South Carolina, Trump leads with them by 20.)
Trump also leads with conservative voters in South Carolina, although by a smaller margin than he leads overall.
If that holds, it's not clear why Trump wouldn't then win most of the other Southern states that make up the March 1 primary, much less most of the other states between now and March 15.

Why thank you!
There are a lot of FReepers who are entirely ignorant of finance and business. There are also a number of people here, who I call Rove Plants. If you see a poster who signed up in 2015, and begins trashing Trump 24/7, you know what you have.
“There are a lot of FReepers who are entirely ignorant of finance and business.”
I’ll double down on that: They should be supporting Sanders. And probably are or will be.
Most folks are jealous bastards. Instead of improving their situation, they sit and bitch and cry about those that have the brains and balls to achieve.
It’s why Communism looks so appealing to many.

I graduated Newton HS in 1972. By chance, 3 of my best friends became captains of industry. We recently had a 40th HS Reunion. None of the 3 attended. Guess why ?
HS Reunions are a great eye opener. YOu see the losers who are winners and the winnners who flamed out and now are losers. My 40 was depressing, to the point that I left. I had never seen so many people who appeared older than their stated ages.
I didn’t go because I read the list of those who would attend, and only one of them was worth seeing again. 3000 miles for one? Nope : )
Why?
Outstretched palms looking for something?
Do nothings that would try to poo poo them for bring successful?

Nailed. These 3 are people you would like too. I’m still in touch with 2 of them regularly.
Were all these anti-American forces arrayed against Romney in 2012 about this time in the campaign? Romney could never honestly claim any net creation of American jobs; Trump has created tens of thousands.
Predictable, buddy.
Good friends are like gold, to be treasured.
The 2 friends go back to 6th grade. 50 years.
I would take RUBIO hands down over TRUMP.
That’s fantastic!!!
D@mn, that's harsh...but funny.
I agree completely. Having noted some newer sign ups, I challenged a poster who was steadfast that there are floods of new ones for Trump. Since I proved him completely incorrect, he’s gone into hiding.
They are so obvious and it sickens me how the GOPe operates.
Go Trump!
