Another thing about Trump’s victory y’all might want to consider.

He is the dems favorite candidate. That should scare you.


No what scares me is Cruz supporters saying they find Marco Amnestio to be a principled conservative. Supporting Ted Cruz was never really was about principled conservatism (TM), apparently.

Not voting for Cruz. Period.

Understand, never voting for Trump ever here also. Whole family will write-in Cruz and go our merry way when it comes to it. If Cruz is to go down, it will be disappointing, but no more arguments, you guys have given Hillary the Presidency because you have put on a pedestal someone that we can not in good faith ever vote for.

It was an Evangelical electorate who rejected Cruz in SC in favor of Trump AND Rubio. Not liberals.

EVERYONE said Cruz would win SC.

It was HIS KIND OF STATE.

Full of evangelicals and conservatives and... you know... SOUTHERNERS.

And he had his vaunted GROUND GAME.

And he lost.

Crashed and burned.

Not a single county.

Not one.

Nada.

Zip.

Zero.

I thought SC is proportional with its delegates unlike FL which is a winner take all. Am I incorrect about SC?


Trump won 29 delegates for winning the state and all the other delegates from winning all the SC Congressional districts. 50-0 Trumpnado in SC.

Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. Cruz was rejected by “his” people in SC. I don’t see how Cruz recovers from this. Rubio is on the upswing and Trump is solidly in the 30’s pretty much everywhere. Cruz is going to get laughed out the race with this “conservatives are coalescing around me” BS if he keeps finishing in 3rd place.

I don’t know, but I’d rather be Trump pulling 1/3 than Ted pulling 22 or Marco pulling 23. See, right now, Ted has a ceiling of 22 and Marco a ceiling of 23. So the better question is what is Ted going to do to get beyond 22? If he can’t win an election in SC with 3/4 evangelicals, he’s finished.

Ok - Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying. The delegates thing confuse me a little.

Trump didn't quite achieve 1/3 of the vote.

Fair enough but how come Cruz and Rubio can't seem to achieve even 1/4 of the vote? Is this their ceiling?

Trump got 32, which wasn’t far from polls average of 33

Rubio got 22, which isn’t far from polls saying he will get 23

Cruz underperformed, because he got 22, when it should’ve been high 20s.

I see your point. But my question is "if it comes down to Rubio/Trump or Cruz/Trump" What will be the breakdown? Can Trump break 50% with only one other guy in the race? Is 30 something percent his plateau?

Cruz was taking too many hits from Trump and Rubio not to mention the Haley endorsement and the Trey Gowdy “made up twitter” thingy right before the primary without enough time for the truth to put its boots on.

29 to the winner and then 3 each to the winner of the 7 Congressional Districts. Trump won all 7 CGs so 50 delegates in total.

Trump is the one who started the push to enforce those laws.

Uh....no.

TED CRUZ TO OBAMA: You Must Help Texas Solve The Border Crisis Now Jun. 19, 2014

"Preventing people from illegally immigrating to the United States should be the primary purpose of Customs and Border Protection," Cruz wrote in his letter. "And, although this critical task is primarily a federal responsibility, Texas is prepared to take action to gain control of our borders."

In his letter, Cruz attributed the flood of people illegally crossing the border to the Obama administration's immigration policies, which he characterized as an "outright refusal to enforce the law."
