Donald Trump had good reason to suspect he was ambushed by the Republican National Committee during Saturday's debate in South Carolina: That was exactly what happened.

Chad Groover, the chairman of the local Republican Party in Greenville, essentially confirmed the billionaire's worst fears over the weekend.

"I didn't have hundreds of tickets. I had a couple of dozen tickets. You'll have a good mix of people who are donors, people who are donors and workers, and people who are just workers," Groover said, WYFF 4 reported Saturday.

RNC Chief Strategist and Communications Director Sean Spicer gave Breitbart News a precise breakdown of ticket allocation on Monday.

Republican candidates had to split up 600 seats among themselves, while the RNC and nationally elected officials received 367 tickets. State party and locally elected officials received 550 tickets. Google was given 100 tickets.

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday he had never witnessed such an orchestrated attack on a Republican candidate.

"[Trump] didn't even have to say anything. He just opened his mouth, a couple of syllables and here came the boos. And it did appear to distract him off the point that he was getting ready to make," said Limbaugh. "I've never seen anything like that, that I can recall watching intraparty debates. I've never seen it on the Democrat side. I mean, I've heard a smattering of boos, but I've not seen a whole audience stacked for the expressed purpose. And it was done specifically to make it look like no Republicans in South Carolina like Trump. They didn't tell you the audience was a bunch of donors. They didn't tell you the audience was a bunch of people that support amnesty."

These aren't debates, they resemble the studio audience and host at a Jerry Springer show.

Where a TV reality star like Trump is completely in his element. Backfire much, GOP?

Rush bit hard and would not release. Antics such as this will completely turn off most Americans to even contemplate watching the 'debates' The RNC stepped in poop and in attempting to clean the bottoms of their shoes they appear to be walking on their base sliding their soiled soles across the backs of those who might still be at their disposal. Go TRiUMPh

Keep turning up the heat!!

Poor baby didn’t have spare tickets to give to Nancy Pelsi or Harry Reid

Four Marxists? That’s your opinion. I disagree; a four way race will be clear choices, two of them “establishment” and two “outsiders”. People are too angry to elect an establishment candidate.
