You’ve been right about so little with regards to Trump. So why don’t you tell the rest of us what his 32.5% showing really means.

I’m sure Rubio, and Cruz would like to have worries like that.

Maybe Karl thinks that 2nd and 3rd place finishers are the actual winners.

Karl Rove is clearly now being paid as comic relief for Fox News. He’s not even relevant. Its pathetic. He’s worse than Dick Morris.

“He didn’t even get that. Trump ended up with 32.5%.”

Mainly because he started his general election campaigning. 32.5% was enough for at least 44 of the 50 delegates in SC - why bother going hard-right for a higher percentage?

Trump was beating Cruz with evangelicals like a drum tonight. Not good news for Ted.

Karl Rove: Trump Should Be "Worried," He's Peaked

This jolly has-been clown would be on my ignore list...
If there was one.

I wish he just would go away.
Or go work for Hillary.

A friend noted that Barbara Bush looked old when her husband was president and still looks old...and looks almost exactly the same now.

Appearing with Glenn Beck, Rove ammended his statement to read that Trump should be worried because he’s Hitler.

Paul Ryan, McCain, Lindsey, Rove, Megyn McKelly, DanaRino - they never saw a good time to Oppose Obama. They want the same opportunity with Hillary.

Go easy on Charles. He's having another difficult night. Give him a break. He'll get over it soon.

Have we got a Frank Duntz focus group yet? Bet all of them switched to Rubio from Trump.

How long has Rove been predicting the end of Trump’s campaign?

I actually enjoy Rove’s analysis, but you have to take it with a grain of salt. He does have his own agenda and was Bush’s top election adviser. We will see if Trump has a ceiling. It is not surprising to me that he slightly underperformed some of the polls... What was spent on negative ads in SC in the weeks before the primary? Does he think that tens of millions of dollars of negative ads directed at Trump would have no effect.

Support for candidates does tend to be cyclic over a number of months. However I think that it is more likely that Trumps popularity will continue to rise and Rove will have egg on his face.

Lol. Okay, you’re right. I guess we should all try to be gracious in victory. I was just having some fun with you Charles.

no it's not. Hey I noticed in Georgia the last poll I've seen anyway had Bush with 2% Kasich 2% and Carson 6%. So even if all three withdrew and threw support to Rubio, Rubio still loses there. :)

76 delegates with a 20% threshold to receive delegates and winner take all if anyone exceeds 50%. If it stays a three way (as it will) Trump's magic numbers are 33.34%.

"He didn't even get that. Trump ended up with 32.5%. "

And a large chunk of that 32.5% was crossover dims, and of course, indys.

Re: McCain got more votes than Romney.

Sorry, that's not true, Vet.

Romney got 1 million more votes than McCain got.

Actually, Romney got 1.5 million more white votes than McCain did, but McCain got 500,000 more non-white votes than Romney.

Enjoy tonight. And keep standing with the man with three marriages, four bankruptcies, six changes of party registration and a serial adulterer. As much as you enjoy tonight, I’ll enjoy seeing Trump reap the garbage he has sown all his life.
