A combative contest among six challengers is expected to produce a record voter turnout in Saturday’s GOP presidential primary.
As of midday Thursday, about 38,000 absentee ballots had been cast in the GOP contest. That exceeds the 35,595 absentee ballots cast in 2008 — a record total that included both the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries.
The turnout record for the GOP primary was set in 2012 — at 583,000 votes. However, voters who want to cast ballots for or against GOP front-runner Donald Trump are expected to exceed that total.

GO TRUMP!
The good news is those against Trump are splitting their votes four ways among the remaining losers.
“I don’t necessarily think South Carolina is going to decide the nominee, but we’ll help sort out the field, “ Furman University political analyst Danielle Vinson said.
The question likely to be decided is who will survive to carry on against Trump, the New York businessman who sparks strong acclaim and strong disdain.
“He’s driving the turnout with people who want him and people who don’t want him,” Vinson said.

But will the coalesce behind one candidate?
Thus allowing the unelectable jackass to amass delegates he'll never be able to use.
I believe that this is the un-reported news story. The GOP base is turning out big time in the primaries. Of the top three candidates, the top two leaders are NOT establishment candidates. And the base is turning out far more voters than the DEMs

Is it what you expected??
“Thus allowing the unelectable jackass to amass delegates he’ll never be able to use.”
Bingo!
Cruz and others are doing a poor job of exposing Trumps past. If they exploit his weakness they can win, The problem is too many candidates with more or less the same take on things.
Unless paper-pushing and legislating is held in high regard. I guess Trump is weak in that area. He'd be an awful bureaucrat. But I think that's a plus. We've have enough bureaucrats.
If Trump really wanted my vote he’d buy it like an honest politician.
What a jerk.
So if you are running for president, and you can’t beat an “unelectable jackass”, what does that make you?
In support or opposition?
Why so bitter? Has TDS corrupted your last brain cell? Why is Trump not electable?
Such as filing for 4 bankruptcies? Screwing creditors in good faith?
Just getting things done.
“Cruz and others are doing a poor job of exposing Trumps past. If they exploit his weakness they can win, The problem is too many candidates with more or less the same take on things.”
They are fighting for 2nd place. Dummies. Never heard of a second place winner getting anything. I guess bragging rights maybe.
Trump actually has a better track record than anybody running.
<><><><
Of course, his track record at accomplishing tasks on the real estate front cannot be matched by anyone else running. That is absolutely true.
Trump has absolutely zero track record in the political arena, which mirrors the real estate industry, well, not in the slightest.
You are comparing apples to hand cleanser (not even close enough for apples and oranges).
