LIVE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY THREAD 2/20/16

I look forward to the next National Review article.

ROFL. When they get their cracked monitors fixed. I hope the headline reads “Clearly, We Aren’t Very Influential”

He did. I remember when he came to Jax. But Cruz has one hell of a ground game.

Should Social Security be privatized

As I predicted, you are answering yes to a question that per your own extensive discussion does not have a yes/no answer.

What time do you get up in the morning? Yes is not an answer. No is also not an answer unless you perhaps poke your head out from under the covers at about 1PM.

And yet you take this irrelevant answer as a test of "true constitutional conservatism." That is simply lunacy.

I think they split, maybe 60/40 for Rubes. A lot won’t forgive Trump for his (in my view, “just politics”) attacks. Some actually think Rubes is “more constitutional” than Trump.

Some of you Cruz supporters are abject idiots. You are anything but conservative!

This is the exact reason. You and your candidate often come off as complete jerks.

I am NOT saying some Cruz supporters hate any or all of the Republican base which has clearly chosen Trump - unless, perhaps, they happen to also be Trump supporters. But considering the majority of these ARE Trump supporters, well, it is not far removed in one way. And I don't see any one stopping Trump and his supporters from this point forward. Because they ARE the Republican base. It is amazing how SOME Cruz supporters hate Trump supporters, which if you really think about it, since the base is clearly now Trump, is a concern how much some of the Cruz supporters hate our Republican base that is supporting the majority front runner Trump, hate our Border Patrol agents who are supporting the majority front runner Trump, hate our Police officers who are supporting the majority front runner Trump, hate our Vets who are supporting the majority front runner Trump, hate our military supporting the front runner Trump, hate those of Religions of many faiths all across America who are supporting the front runner Trump, hate our Blue collar workers who are supporting the front runner Trump, hate the Middle class that is supporting the front runner Trump, hate the Reagan Democrats who are supporting the front runner Trump, hate those who actually voted for Ronald Reagan who support the front runner Trump, hate our Steel workers who support the front runner Trump, hate our American tech workers who support the front runner Trump, hate our Farmers who are supporting the front runner Trump, hate our Business entrepreneurs who support the front runner Trump, hate those with 401k's who support the front runner Trump, hate those on Social security who support the front runner Trump, hate those who are Taxed enough already who support the front runner Trump, hate those who are suffering the crimes of illegal and criminal aliens who support the front runner Trump, hate the NYPD, the FDNY and first responders who support the front runner Trump, hate Pittsburg Steelers fans who support the front runner Trump, Trump haters who have a radio microphone and tell others they are a Pittsburg Steelers fan but hates the actual Pittsburg Steelers fans who support American Steel and support the front runner Trump, Trump haters who smoke a big fat cigar which sometimes might have tobacco grown by Americans who support the front runner Trump but mostly has tobacco not grown by Americans who support the front runner Trump while hating the Republican base that supports the majority front runner Trump, to all the Trump haters who hate the majority of the Republican base which supports our Republican front runner Donald Trump: Ted Cruz was solidly defeated today in South Carolina. 10 points right now, that is a landslide. Today the Republican nominee was chosen. Congratulations to Rubio for running a good campaign in South Carolina. Bush is finished. My view is, Trump just won the nomination. Some pundits on FOX are saying this "thing" still has a long way to go. They were, and are, wrong about everything. So as far as I'm concerned, the only question is, will you be FOR or AGAINST the Republican base that has chosen Donald Trump as the nominee and next President of the United States of America, or will you continue to hate the Republican base and the Reagan coalition? As for Cruz, he put up a good fight. But, this is a Frazier moment. Down Goes Frazier, Down Goes Frazier, Down Goes Frazier!

Actually, think about a Nascar type “race within the race”.
Good competition for 2nd and 3rd

He said he would not repeal the individual mandate. Hence, Obama care will live.

I would think Cruz votes would move towards trump vs Rubio?

Oh, MEgyn was just bitching aboutbgphow Trump underperformed

Has she seen the map? Every county in SC went for Trump so far except maybe 2 for Rubio.

Trump needs only to peel off about 25% of the support from each candidate that drops out to maintain his lead.

Rubio crushed Trump in head-to-head matchups. We have to get it down to that.

You're in for a surprise.

Juan stated that Trump pretty much performed the way the polls said he would and the Bitter B*tch interrupted him saying "No he didn't! I saw a poll that said he should have won by 14 points". Juan ignored her and kept on talking! Too funny. Me-gyn got slapped down by Juan Williams!
