The South Carolina primary results don't mean Trump will be the nominee

Yes it does.

I think so too. If Trump was the establishments candidate, they’re be howling at the moon about how it’s over!

GOPe Party rules make it hard for Trump to clinch the nom. Trump is winning by pulling 30-40 percent of states' votes, making party-designated winner-take-all-thresholds out of reach. Party rules make Trump/s securing the nom that much more difficult: (1) formally: winning a majority of delegates, or, (2) informally: broad support being so obvious it stifles competition.

Piffle. All of the GOPe rules mean nothing, nada, zippo. The fact is Donald Trump/s towering wins mean that he now OWNS the Republican Party. Anything the GOPe did is DOA....including rules that were meant to cement the establishment candidates in power.

THIS IS THE BEST PART Party leaders are scared to death of Trump/s candidacy. They know he can make his own rules.
