South Carolina Republicans still favor Donald Trump to be their nominee in 2024 by a margin of 21 percent – with two politicians from the Palmetto State coming in third and fourth place behind the former president and Florida's governor Ron Desantis.

Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, once governor of South Carolina and former Ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, earned 18 percent in the latest Winthrop University poll taken among the state's GOP primary voters.

Meanwhile, current South Carolina Senator Tim Scott's announcement Wednesday that he's taking the next step toward a bid for president coincided with the release of the poll showing him in fourth place with only 7 percent support among voters in his own state.

Trump is enjoying the martyr’s syndrome. Not that there’s anything wrong with that :)

Halley needs to just PHUCKING go away...the brown skin hack!
Like Trump or not...she said HE was the reason for the violence that occurred under her watch.

Scott solidified his RINO credentials by supporting Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, over her great conservative opponent.

Tim was just having his strings pulled by Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, as usual.

Pence with 5 percent.

NIKKI HALEY IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT

SHE IS AN ANCHOR BABY-—NO MORE THAN THAT

[Cobra64]

Pompeo should be near the top of the stack. Niki Haley is nothing more than opportunist. Pence is an empty-suit, moron.

"Haley was born in 1972, just a few years after her parents moved the family to Bamberg, a town with a current population around 3,000. Her father took a position as a biology professor at a local college and her mother taught school before opening a successful clothing store."

I believe when all is said and done, Pompeo will be the nominee. And don’t start with the CIA cr**...Trump appointed him to the position...and it was very brief...and you people think he had some powers that he didn’t have. Being the head of a political organization like the CIA doesn’t mean you snap your fingers...and poof...it’s all you want it to be.

Trump is superman and the bad guys haven’t found the kryptonite yet...NOT THAT THEY HAVEN’T BEEN LOOKING FOR IT.......

Under 60 - West Point grad - Looks good to me ... I hope DT is vain/stupid enough to give Pompeo an unflattering nic.

[TChad]

Trump’s interview yesterday by Tucker Carlson can only help him.

And with just that one post, you show just how out-of-touch you are with reality.

I look at 76 yo Trump and hear Jennifer Hudson belting out “And I am telling yoooouu . I ain’t goin’” He’s so egotistical he’d rather “tear the temple down” (i.e. lose bigly) than allow a younger R like Desantis to get the nomination. That’s what having billions of buckaroos will do to even a stable person.

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, POMPEO WILL BE THE NOMINEE. AND DON’T START WITH THE CIA CR**...

Why the lecture. Pompeo is my number one choice after Trump. Is that not good enough for you? Trump, Pompeo, DeSantis. The rest are far behind.

[central_va]

Pompeo will be the nominee.

This decade?
