GOP leaders increasingly see South Carolina as their last best chance to stop Donald Trump's populist political juggernaut.
On Wednesday, influential South Carolina Republican Katon Dawson issued a plea for former President George W. Bush to step into the ring in the Palmetto State's Feb. 20 primary. Bush is quite popular among South Carolina Republicans, and Dawson called his involvement a potential "game changer."
"If {George W. Bush} engages, it will matter for his brother {Jeb Bush}, but really, it will matter for the entire team," Dawson told Bloomberg News.
The Palmetto State appears uniquely positioned this cycle. While it follows Iowa and New Hampshire on the primary calendar, but is already drawing intense attention from candidates and pundits alike.
The pro-Jeb Bush Right to Rise PAC recently announced a $4 million TV ad buy in South Carolina.
On Tuesday, Rubio's Conservative Solutions PAC unveiled its first TV ad there, touting the Florida senator's strong support for the U.S. military. The dollar value of that ad buy was not announced.
owery, the conservative InsiderAdvantage pollster, says it's obvious the GOP establishment won't be doing Trump any favors.
"The establishment Republican Party -- most of whom I know well, and I'm not putting them down -- but they make their bread and butter out of controlling people, or at least being hired to help them package themselves.
"So far, Trump has basically thumbed his nose at all of them and doesn't need them," he adds. "So of course they're all going to band together -- because this is their last stand."

Just be aware that when you vote for Trump you will get emails trying to sell you BOGUS Trump gear and the $$ goes to finance Rubio and Cruz (who used to head the NRSC!)and other senate republicans!
This is the National Republican Senatorial Committee and they are CONNING you to hurt the Trump campaign!
They’ve been doing this for months. http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2015/09/more-gop-fundraising-on-trump-name-now.html
BTW....NRSC gives Ted Cruz big $$$! Why does he not denounce this slimy tactic?

In both cases, its a natural occurrence. But at least the cat has an excuse. It’s a cat.

South Carolina is know for dirty politics
Especially Bush family dirty politics.
What you studying?
Trump’s support is Trump’s support. It never goes below 25% anywhere, and will likely be orth of 30% in SC. Cruz, in the low 20s now, is not going to lose support to John Ellis Bush. Rubio will likely be coming off of a strongish finish in NH, and SC is almost next door to him, too. So, I guess John Ellis Bush will be trying to pick up the Kasich and Christie vote to “Stop Trump”.
If you just want to stop Trump, Vote Cruz.
If you want to stop Cruz, Vote Trump.
If you just want to protest both of them, vote for any of the others.
The irony is, if GWH Bush can actually move voters, it might be away from Sen. Cruz, the place where establishment voters would likely flee to after giving up on the likes of Jeb or marco. Thus GWH would not be taking likely votes from trump, but Sen. Cruz. And then, GWH may enable a trump win.
Virginia tried....in order to stop Trump.
The cross overs are disaffected Democrats voting for their economic self interest. They are voting TRUMP
Is this like organizing a two-car funeral? GOPe may be in over its head./s
Damn right. And if its an open primary, if anything it will bring out the disaffected Democrats and independents to vote for Trump.
Maybe Lindsay Graham will win!
Double major English/Philosophy.
Thanks for the heads up. Any official organ of the GOP/Repubs I tend to avoid. All propaganda all the time.
So then you can deeply ponder how badly we’ve butchered the language ;)
Good luck, then.
You’ll be reading and writing your little backside off until the cows come home. Don’t bother with an alarm clock. You won’t sleep.
Somebody should print some “We don’t need no steeking Bushes” bumper stickers.
So that I can write satire about people who tell older female Mechanical Engineering students that they will only be hired if they are willing to relocate to the Middle East ;)
Does South Carolina have an open primary? Can the RNC/GOP-E pay democrats to vote for Jeb in the Republican primary?
