A super-PAC backing Jeb Bush is aiming to bolster its efforts in South Carolina by adding a GOP strategist well-known in the state to help out in the final days of a "tight, volatile" primary race, Politico reports.

Richard Quinn -- a longtime adviser to primary race dropout Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina -- is taking on the role of conducting polling for Right to Rise ahead of Saturday's vote in the Palmetto State.

"This is clearly a tight, volatile race that could produce most any result over the next six days," Quinn wrote to Mike Murphy, the head of the super PAC, Politico reports.

Polling by the super PAC shows Donald Trump in first place, with a narrow 26 percent to 24 percent lead over Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and Bush in third place, with a 12 percent to 11 percent advantage over Marco Rubio, Politico reports....

Trump knows more than Cruz. He’s been fighting regulators and bureaucrats for 50 years. Sorry, but this is not the year for politicians.

Trump knows more than Cruz.

Is this the same Trump that didn't know what the nuclear triad was? Or the Trump that thinks Mitch McConnell is the Speaker of the Senate?

Trump is not a politician. Listen.. Do you like where the pols have taken us? What’s your strong moral objection to having someone less versed in the flotsam of Washington, and more versed in the jetsam of the business world? I think Trump hates ineffeciency. Anyone in business knows that productivity is the key to survival. Cutting is surviving. If Trump brings that mindset to government numerous ABC agencies will be history.

My moral objection is against having a liberal in the White House. Donald Trump is a liberal. I had assumed everyone here at FreeRepublic shared that objection. As for being versed, you were the one who said that Trump knew more than Cruz. I showed you how that was wrong.

Cutting is surviving. If Trump brings that mindset to government numerous ABC agencies will be history.

Trump has already proposed a huge expansion of government reach into our healthcare system by paying hospitals directly for the medical bills of patients without insurance, which he acknowledges is 25% of the population. Obama doesn't even go this far. This isn't my idea of efficiency and cutting.

You’re disingenuous because I know that you know that we already pay for anyone who shows up for emergency services, including illegals. By the way, Trump says flat out that the 12 million illegals are going home after he takes office.

About the 10th time this bogus story has been posted. An “internal poll” from an unnamed “pro-Bush” source. This is probably the same bogus poll that Kristol and his Standard Weakling was peddling last week.

Uh no, the government doesn't pay. Those expenses are passed on as higher costs to those who do.

By the way, Trump says flat out that the 12 million illegals are going home after he takes office.

Trump also says flat out that those same illegals will be expedited right back into the country. They won't even have to get in line with all those who are trying to immigrate legally.
