“Dave Paxton from Hilton Head said he still doesn’t know who he’s voting for on Tuesday”

Vote for Jeb. Show that Bush family you are with them.

The Weekly Standard, uh huh. Line up with Red State, NR, Wash.Post, NYTimes, etc, etc, etc.

[for-q-clinton]

Trumps liberal base like these comments.

[PghBaldy]

Focusing on the disastrous Bush Presidency is not a winning strategy. Trump went too far, but it is a briar patch if the party gets stuck trying to defend the lunacy that was. If not for Iraq, would we have Obama?

[AmericanRobot]

Not sure how Mr. Paxton is voting on Tuesday when the primary is Saturday.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, they’re all out to get you...

[JoSixChip]

On Tuesday night, every voter I spoke to at Trump's campaign event in Beaufort, South Carolina disapproved of Trump's comments. Their views ranged from genuine disgust to mere displeasure.

Then why were they at a Trump campaign event? Me thinks that only GOPe, rush beck and Daily Kos bloggers were offended.

[LoneStar42]

Trump understands branding and marketing. He doesn’t understand voters.

Nonsense, nothing can stop The Savior ™. ONWARD TO VICTORY!!!!!!!!!

We are so FURIOUS about this.

Now we’re over it.

South carolina RCP Polls:

That’s OK, because Cruz is “pure”.

If you ignore all of his lying and crappy campaign techniques.

But when he stands up in Congress and bloviates about how pure he is, without actually accomplishing anything, that’s why we need him as President.

Or something.

Consistent.

I agree that was very damaging. I hope he will have the sense to walk it back. He could say a Russian teenager just shared a top secret email from Hillary’s server that confirmed the WMDs were moved to Syria. And he sincerely apologizes to GW and his mom.

Oh you poor dear. How is it possible that everybody doesn’t love the Donald. After all he’s just so loveable.

Don’t worry, you can always listen to Michael Savage.

It will play better in the general election.

There is a large anti-war vote that is dissatisfied with Obama and that hated Bush.

Would a McCain presidency have been much better, really? I hate to say it, but there it is...

[VanDeKoik]

So much the better.
