South Carolina will either give him momentum, or take it away. I have already made the prediction that he will win South Carolina, but I would feel more confident about this prediction if they did not have open primaries.

If Cruz loses to Trump or worst Rubio, Cruz is going to be even worse then he is now............it will be bitter revenge. Oh it might just end up being the most ugliest campaign.

Even if Cruz comes in 2nd (or 3rd) in SC, it wont stop him. He will be in the race until the end. He is Trump’s biggest threat.

Seems to me being an open primary will help Trump, as independents and Democrats can be “Republicans for a Day”.

But I thought Cruz said he was going to win South Carolina. But his people are afraid of a big loss?

I’d say that headline is accurate.

Bad day for Cruz tomorrow means bad day for Crus SEC Primary.

Why would anyone close to Cruz say something like that the night before a primary?

That is exactly my thinking. An open primary hurts Cruz and helps Trump.

Before Super Tuesday there is no momentum at the top. However there is a lot of thinning of the bottom tier candidates.

After super Tuesday, you can start talking about who is leading as trends are starting to set in.

Members of the “Carolina democracy” who vote Feb. 20 can’t vote Feb. 27, can they, when Mrs. Bill comes up to bat to strike out Sanders.

Why would a committed democrat forfeit a vote for The Beast or Bernie just to help Trump?
