Trump Turns To S.C. To Propel Unstoppable Campaign
washingtontimes.com ^ | February 9

Posted on 02/09/2016 6:04:31 PM PST by Helicondelta

A day after the New Hampshire primary, Republican presidential hopefuls were set Wednesday to fan out across South Carolina and begin jockeying for the first-in-the-South primary that has a history of picking the eventual nominee.

Billionaire businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump has the early edge in polling there and in other key states as the race turns to the South and West over the next six weeks.

South Carolina has the potential to launch Mr. Trump into victories in a series of delegate-rich multistate primaries next month and turn his campaign into an unstoppable juggernaut toward the nomination.

“My guess is a Strumpettes like TV most and watch the most.”

Oh that’s what happened. It was the ‘Strumpettes’ on the Cruz campaign that listened to CNN....

I used to like Cruz.

Then I met the jerks who support him.

That's the truth.

And I'm beginning to suspect that Cruz himself isn't all that different from his supporters here on FR.

I agree
Time for trump to go after the democrats and their bad horrible policies
He is the only guy not hindered by pc in pointing out the decrepitude of the Clinton syndicate
Trump has built an empire and Ted never ran a lemonade stand- who is ready to face the impending global economic meltdown

God, listening to Bernie sanders now

Would not want to be between Hillary and the bar tonight

Last week, he Cruzbots were acting like the Russians entering Berlin in 1945.

Now that they KNOW their idol is done, they can’t take it. So squeaking like 3rd graders becomes SOP.

Wait... You base you opinion of Cruz on the people he doesn’t even know?

I like Trump in spite of his supporters rudeness, pompous, and ugly behavior toward Cruz supporters...

I’m not going to vote for Trump in the primaries as we already have a constitutionalist conservative running...which Trump is not...

If he wins, l will vote for him...

But Lindsey Graham endorsed Jeb The thing is that Linda probably planned to drop out and endorse the Jebbito The Eunuch just in time to "clinch" SC....that was the plan. Maybe then Linda would be the VP pick for delivering the nomination. Butch McCain probably assured him of this during pillow talk. Then, the Citizens spoke in 2016 and would not be fooled again. Neither one of these treasonous homosexuals will ever realize their entitlements again no matter how many feet of snow queen mum Babs trudges her walker through.

Is it time to start a poll?

Pick the method which Hillary will employ to off Bernie.

It probably will be something she's not already used.

Hey, how you been? Spring training starts soon.

Funny how the Cruzbots just can’t take it, huh?

It’s not gonna happen for Cruz, Jeb or Rubio. Goldman Sachs and the globalists will have to find some new candidates to buy.

“Unstoppable? Nothing political is unstoppable.”

Obama told a group last year that no power on earth could stop us (him). The Republican Congress said “amen”.

I was making a rhetorical point.

Let me be clear: If Cruz is the nominee, I will vote for him. If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him.

I will not vote for any other Republican, under any circumstances.

Also: I recognize that some Trump supporters have been jerks. I’ve seen it.
However, I think the rudeness and intolerance of the Cruz supporters on this site is above anything I’ve ever seen.

Of course your mileage may vary, and I don’t wish to have an argument and I don’t feel a need to “win” and “convince” anyone that my view is “correct”.

But I do think the mutual animosity between the Trump supporters and the Cruz supporters is really, really weird. It’s Bolsheviks vs Menschiviks and Trotsky is going to get an ice pick in the head.

Once word gets out about Cruz’s Super PAC taking hundreds of thousand of dollars in anonymous money laundered donations he will crater in the polls. You can’t run against the “Washington Cartel” with sleazy moves like that.

a Strumpettes like TV

We prefer to watch cartoons. But, we did attend enough of our grammar lessons to point out that Strumpettes is plural and "a" drives a noun in the singular. Either some "Strumpettes"... or perhaps "a Strumpette." It cannot be "all Strumpettes" unless you are referring to female Trumpestadors, in which case you are insulting just the female supporters or unless you are attempting to claim that Trump and his followers are perhaps pusillanimous but that is a bit of a pot calling the kettle scenario.

Or it could be that you are calling Trump's supporters paid professionals, a claim that I will not trouble to refute except that it invokes another of those pot calling the kettle scenarios. And in that case you might also learn to spell unless your metier is ebonics, which I am inclined to believe.

I kind of like how Rubio plus bush plus Carson plus Christie plus Cruz adds up to overwhelming Cruz victory

As these folks drop out I really doubt they will endorse trump.

Trump burns bridges really well.

That’s the trajectory now that Trump has put NH in the win column with a YUGE win. Success breeds success. Trump is now perceived as the winner and perception becomes reality.
