New Hampshire was supposed to be the nail Marco Rubio would drive into Jeb Bush’s coffin. Now, it might be the beginning of Rubio digging his own political grave.

Pass the popcorn please. Last night's results was the nightmare scenario for the GOPe. Nobody was knocked out except for Krispy Christie. We have the Dauphin v. the False Bush. From what I have read the Dauphin will be deploying Bush the Younger in SC.

“Mr Rubio, what is your plan for..”
“My plan is to talk about something unrelated to your question, not answer, then repeat same robotically.”

Jeb and Rubio will be trashing each other in SC.

Trump will glide to an easy win there.

Funny thing is Yerb! is telling everybody who will listen that he is the guy with the experience to get things done. JFK had so much confidence in his brother Bobby, that he brought him into his cabinet. Apparently for “W” there were many more capable than Yerb! whom he rejected, when he had the opportunity to utilize all that “experience.”

Fiorina was pretty much knocked out as well. Can’t believe she is still in! She doesn’t know when to give up! She’s polling 1% in SC.

My take on last night is Trump will most likely win the Republican nomination. The General election I am not as sure of. Cruz and Trump are fighting for the same voters, and Cruz does not stand a chance. The establish lane is really muddy and I would like to think someone could emerge to challenge Mr. Trump, but I don’t see it. They will all knock each other out. If Cruz does stay in the race for a long time then it will just take Trump a little longer. My favorite Marc Rubio as of now is a very long chance to win the nomination, though I still believe he is our strongest general election candidate. I will vote for whoever wins gladly.

The blood and entrails of the GOP-E strewn across the primary states is something I’m looking most forward to. Moreso than the election itself.

HP had to give her what, $15m to just go away?

One would think the same or something like it applies here. She'll quit when she gets what she wants...

Yep, Krispy must be part Japanese. He performed a pretty good Kamikaze attack Saturday night.

Marco got 23 pct in IA, and was polling around 17 pct less than a week ago in NH... but finished with 14. If he doesn’t top the 12 pct that he has been polling in SC since NOV, he should be done. His trend is all downward, and his debate performance did not help one bit. Florida won’t help him because he splits the hometown bonus vote with Jeb, and it doesn’t take place until March 15, when almost forty percent of the states have voted, and FL has less than 1/3 of the delegates available that day (99 of 367... NC, IL, OH, and MO all run on the same date)

For months now Fox people chuckled that SC was the anti Trump firewall.

Well Trump is 17 points up in SC, The AA like him, the Vets love him, the soldiers do too. Even Evangelicals like him.

Rubio will take on Bush.

Nikki Haley will have to choose which Rino to back Jeb or Rubio. She is a big fat liar, she is no Tea Party person.

Trump left them all behind. More than double the vote of Kasich. As much as Rubio, Jeb and Ted combined

Or any other Republican for that matter.

Trump could outright purchase the alphabets and say "You're Fired!".

If Carson drops out Cruz wins SC handily.

Even without Carson dropping out it will be very close for Trump and Cruz.

I don’t think they have the power to ruin Trump only he can ruin it for himself.

Look we are talking here on Freerepublic, on facebook, Twitter, Drudgereport, Breitbart are our newspapers.

Trump hasn’t been endorsed by newspaper boards

Trump has be savaged by all the TV networks

Trump has be betrayed by Levin and Rush, Hannity won’t admit he is for Cruz.

Only Micheal Savage is for Trump. Still Trump soldiers on

Since Rand Paul had no choice than to drop out, Trump is in a solid position to win Nevada’s Caucus on Feb 23rd.

Rancid Preposterous the RNC head should resign the TV coverage of debates has been disgusting, and IOWA was a disgrace. He is biased against the GOP front runner. Who ever heard of an RNC honcho speaking ill of the GOP front runner and not being asked to resign?
