Donald Trump Enjoys Commanding “First In The South” Lead (South Carolina - Trump 34%)
First in the South ^

Posted on 08/03/2015 1:47:22 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has opened up a commanding 3-to-1 lead over his closest rival in early voting South Carolina. In fact he’s outpolling his nearest three competitors in the Palmetto State … combined.

Just … wow.

According to a poll from Florida-based Gravis Marketing (.pdf here), Trump is supported by 34 percent of “First in the South” GOP primary voters. That’s more than the combined support of the next three candidates in the poll – retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (10.9 percent), former Florida governor Jeb Bush (10.5 percent) and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (10.3 percent).

WTH are 22% of them thinking????

For most voters, abortion is low in the list of issues they see as important. So while a voter might be technically "pro-life", that stance has little bearing on their voting habits, and little bearing on how they view politicians.

I don’t quibble with that, but we are supposedly talking self-described “pro-life” people here.

How do you self-describe that way and still think Obama has done a good job?

Very strange.

You gotta look at it from a “Spock’s Beard” universe view as the modern right winger does. Up is down, Good is evil. Principle is bad. Lesser evil is conservative...

Those 22% only read and watch liberal reports. If you haven’t already, you should visit some liberal websites to see how they are trying to skew the videos and evidence. They are making the video makers as everything from religious nuts to murderers.

The low information crowd that gobbles up everything the liberals throw at them.

Carson appears to have a problem igniting fires in live appearances because of his soft-spoken nature. That doesn't suit him for a political position, but would be find in the cabinet (Surgeon General?)

BTW, do you know how many primaries there are until Super Tuesday, and how many delegates can be wrapped up by then?

In the poll I linked to, we’re talking about people who self-identifies as pro-life.

That’s why I found the numbers to be odd.

The South Carolina primary is the only reason Goober is in the race. The GOPe needs to brake any runaway conservative momentum.

22% pro life for Obama? A large number are probably black.

Norm, I think your model has increased in prevalence over the years due to the internet. We used to have these discussions with family, friends, coworkers, and at the barber shop.

Today we have them on forums dedicated to our point of view. This accentuates the strength of the “Up is down, Good is evil. Principle is bad. Lesser evil is conservative...” thought process.

I believe it was always there to a degree.

Now we analyze to the point we see all the flaws, and have to come up with a determination anyway. It’s a tough environment.

Okay, I agree with that in part. We are talking about 22% of people who self-identify as pro-life though.

I can’t even go to a Leftist site. It’s disturbing to read their thought processes, or more accurately lack there-of.

Well there must be something very flawed with people’s analytical abilities because they seem to choose evil over good most of the time. Case in point America 2015. It exists.

So either people, including right wingers, have a serious mental dysfunction or they want evil. We got to evil somehow and it was not with good people voting for and supporting good people.
