Trump dominated the debate last night and he may well gain an additional 5 points from it. Many of us political junkies live in a bubble and give relatively minor gaffes and mistakes way more weight than the average guy.

Fact is, Trump is the only one who is perceived as "fighting the system" and sticking up for the little guy on the Republican side. He is already so far ahead of the other candidates that only a complete meltdown or disaster would prevent him from winning the nomination at this point.

In fact, I think Trump has already moved away from focusing on the nomination (as he feels he has it in the bag) and is now reaching out to general election voters, which is to say is the Independent, Reagan Democrats and even the Blacks and Hispanics who typically have been taken for granted by the Democrat Party.

Is that strategy wise? We will soon find out. If Trump wins SC as easily as he did in NH, NV and the SEC states should quickly fall in line. Over the next three weeks 23 additional states would have weighed in.

Yes, just three weeks from today, this nomination could well be basically decided. At least on the Republican side.

Seems like we spent the past year in slow motion talking about what may happen with regard to the primary process. Now we are suddenly in fast forward. Buckle your seat belts.
