Poll: Trump Leads S.C., and His Supporters Aren’t Going Anywhere (Trump +16)
Free Times ^ | 2/15/2016 | Eva Moore

Donald J. Trump continues to lead the Republican primary field in South Carolina. He’s also the candidate the highest number of voters would want to be stuck in an elevator with.

Ben Carson, meanwhile, is widely considered a good person to loan your car to, even among supporters of other candidates.

An automated telephone poll of 416 voters conducted exclusively for Free Times by Crantford Research attempts to tease out some key electoral forces as the state heads into its Feb. 20 GOP primary. It was the first poll conducted since the Feb. 13 GOP debate in Greenville.

Asked who they plan to vote for, 32 percent of respondents in our poll chose Trump. Ted Cruz was at 16 percent, Marco Rubio at 13 percent, Jeb Bush at 12 percent, John Kasich at 9 percent, and Ben Carson at 4 percent. Fourteen percent were undecided.

Our results confirm other polls that show Trump with a double-digit lead.

Crantford Research conducted the Free Times South Carolina GOP Presidential Preference Survey on Feb. 14, 2016. The survey was conducted by telephone using an automatic dialing and phone pad response data collection method. The margin of error for the results of the survey is +/- 4.8 percent.

WMD were found in Iraq

The idea they were not is a leftist fantasy.

Trump hates conservative leaders like Cruz.

Sorry, you are sadly mistaken, and Cruz is no leader. He’s a phony. He’s never led anyone or anything other than his lying tongue. Your idea of a leader and mine are worlds apart. Ted has never been in the private sector, never had to meet a payroll or had employees. He has devoted his whole life to government work. Sorry, that isn’t a leader, that’s someone feeding at the taxpayer trough. Everything he has done in the Senate has been for show - a dog and pony show.

Why should Trump go third party? He is winning where he is.

“WMD were found in Iraq”

You need to go inform George W Bush. He doesn’t think there were any, at least, that is what he says.

Yup, Harley Lady, just like old General Patton would say, “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”

He was also writing checks to Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, the Republican Governor’s Association, Rick Perry and others.

Do not confuse them with facts. The CruzCult© has it's talking points and is rolling with it.

No there were not, Saddam already had used them all on the kurds.

If he had any he would have used them in the iraq war.

What was the point of remvoing Saddam? Bringing “democracy” to muslims ? Why?

I would loan Trump my car. Then when I got it back, I’d check the seat cushions for any $100 bills that might have fallen out of his pockets.

One thing to consider: If the Bushes were so well loved in SC, you would think Jebbie would be doing a lot better than 6 per cent.

Trump did not lose any votes from Bush fans. They weren't going to vote for him anyhow. Those few of them that there are.

Past experience shows you can trust Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Jeff Sessions and select other Tea Party affiliated politicians.

He’d probably bring you back a new car for loaning him yours.
Remember,he paid of the mortgage of the folks who gave him a lift when his car broke down.

His own words. Trump said today his deal with the GOP was in breach.
