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.

Some of us never did.
Particularly those of us who had spent time fighting middle eastern wars and knew Islam is a violent murder cult.

I too wish to be rid of them but it not at the expense of getting Obama. We would have been better off if Hillary had won. They are corrupt, lazy, moral sleezebags but Bill is not a prog beleiver, though Hilliary may be close to a true believer, she is tempered by Bill’s overriding political pragmatism.
Obama is a true believer. He has been very successful and second only to Lyndon Johnson (or maybe FDR) in remaking our country into prog dream come true.

That was my reaction also.

Exactly a firewall will be of little effort. This is an INFERNO which can only be extinguished by burrowing the GOP and the great flood to see the last ember die. GO TRUMP/CRUZ MAKE AMERICA GREAT FOR GREAT AMERICANS

"If [George W. Bush] engages, it will matter for his brother [Jeb Bush], but really, it will matter for the entire team,"This would backfire bigtime. W's entry into the campaign will guarantee a Trump win. Reagan Democrats would be crossing over to vote for Trump.

South Carolina is where they’ve decided to stop Trump? South Carolina? The GOP just can’t do anything right.
To: NKP_Vet
The GOP does not know who to wall out. They will find it is their voters.

For those FReepers who keep asking how SC keeps electing a treacherous nitwit like LG-- this should explain it. And it is particularly distressing to see Haley and Scott, put in power by the people's Tea Oarty, acquiescing to the corrupt establishment. The SC GOP has finagled the primaries to keep LG in office---unknown republican primary candidate, name I can't remember, got 30% of the vote against Lindsey once. So the estab joins forces with the Harpootlian Dems to dilute and disenfranchise conservatives in SC.
We should have created the Republican Conservative Party.

I wish GW would get involved for his little brother in SC because that would be an even bigger embarrassment for Yeb; even his brother couldn’t bail him out. Nobody shives a git what GW thinks, says or does. He just another Bush “has-been” who left our Economy in worse shape than when he took office.
