Some Strong Signals for Donald Trump in the South
Wall Street Journal ^ | December 21, 2015 | By Dante Chinni

The unique base of support that has pushed Donald Trump to the top of the Republican presidential field in national polls is also likely to give him boost this spring when the campaign shifts to the South.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has drawn wide attention for his own efforts in Southern states, many of which will vote as part of the big, March 1 "SEC Primary" when more convention delegates will be awarded than on any other day. Mr. Cruz, who is surging in the polls, is focusing on evangelical Christian voters and other social conservatives, which form the cornerstone of his support and are plentiful in those states.

But a breakdown of recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News polling shows that Mr. Trump also has a likely base of support in those Southern states. And it comes with something of a surprise: Mr. Trump's likely strength can be detected by looking at Republican primary voters who live in counties with large African American and Hispanic populations.

Huh? The article did not say there have been any primaries. It did briefly mention the upcoming primaries that begin on March 1 that are usually referred to as the SEC primaries.

Get out the cad conservative vote for Trump. Being a cad never hurt Bill Clinton. Why should it stump Trump? We don’t need to stick to our principles. Hire another amateur to be president.

Maybe they wouldn’t be so surprised if the media ever showed the crowds that show up for Trump rallies.

It’s an opinion piece and his reasoning for his opinion.
