I'm here in downtown Greenville ahead of Saturday night's GOP presidential debate at The Peace Center. Down the street from the venue, a flurry of "Trump" signs led me to his local campaign headquarters. Hundreds of visitors have been filing in and out since this morning, organizers told me. One receptionist said "she's never seen anything like it" since she started working there a month ago.
All ages were walking through the HQ, many of whom were eager to take pictures with the life size cutout of Trump in the lobby.
"We won't be swayed tonight," one Trump supporter said, speaking for his family. Meaning, no matter what happens at tonight's debate, Trump is their guy. "Jeb's not going to get anything done" and Rubio "doesn't have the experience," he said, dismissing the Republican frontrunner's opponents.
Why do so many South Carolinians have Trump fever? I asked several people who were picking up Trump bumper stickers and yard signs and the most frequent responses focused on two issues: The economy and, his most vocal issue, immigration.
In fact, the first person I talked to said only one word when I asked him why Trump had his vote: "Immigration."
Trump's campaign seems to be well aware that his anti-amnesty stance has hit a nerve with his supporters. They encouraged visitors at the local headquarters to open a binder on the table that had a list of reforms Trump intends to make as president. The very first tab outlined his plans for immigration.
A group of young male students from South Carolina's Furman University echoed that sentiment. One of the young men said he's voting for the businessman because of his strong stance on ISIS and immigration.
"He's going to build a wall," he said.

“Not a solid conservative plan”
So when, in the past twenty years or more have “the Conservatives” had a plan? Other than to simply blow their obsequious horns about how “right” they are on the issues. I’ve been a life-long Conservative for all the good it’s done me. With the exception of the Reagan Years both here in CA and in the Presidency, conservatives have been sucking hind tit my whole life. And now, thanks ONLY to Donald Trump, we’re beginning to see behind the “conservative curtain” that the bastards we’ve been voting into office as “conservatives” hump us as soon as their miserable a$$es hit their seats in the Congress! NO more of this BS for me! Go Trump!
No one ever spills their plan
So if the 11% undescideds go for any one of the “Three Amigos” completely, it still isn’t enough to best Trump by a big margin.
Almost half of the American Legal people are supporting and voting for Trump... that is Y U G E!!!
I had a movement after coffee this AM :)
I’m so happy for you.
Well I agree with you but have no faith in Trump
It’s a reg’lar thing

Candidates in most elections appeal to the head. Trump appeals to the soul for those of us who have waited, hoped, and prayed for an alternative to policians.
Trump is winning because We, The People, are FED UP with:
· Anyone named Bush
· Anyone named Clinton
· Anyone who’s held political office
· Political correctness
· Illegal immigration
· Massive unemployment
· Phony “official” unemployment and inflation figures
· Welfare waste and fraud
· People faking disabilities to go on the dole
· VA waiting lists
· TSA airport groping
· The MSM especially the doucebags at MSNBC
· ObamaCare
· The Federal Reserve’s money-printing schemes
· Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine
· Michelle Obama’s vacations
· Michelle Obama’s food police
· Barack Obama’s golf
· Barack Obama’s arrogant and condescending lectures
· Barack Obama’s criticism/hatred of America
· Valerie Jarrett
· John Kerry and his horseface and stolen valor
· “Holiday trees”
· Hollywood hypocrites
· Global warming nonsense
· Cop killers
· Gun confiscation threats
· Stagnant wages
· Boys in girls’ bathrooms
· Faggot marriage
· Bruce Jenner
Feel free to add your own reasons...this is just a start.
I think your bias accentuates his errors. He’s firmly in second place and doesn’t appear to have a general downward trend that I see.
Has any of the candidates addressed the Beonce thing?
There is a war being waged
PBS is running a black pathers limelight on tues
This shit divides us
True. But if Trump blows out all the demographics again, the blame will lie with Ted. Ted was supposed to win this according to his southern strategy plan. Right now he is way behind.
Check yer shadow.
Post of the day nominee.
Send the federation of frauds in D.C. to hell. Give them what they given Middle America for decades now.
Go Trump.
It's OK... 41.7% (rounded up to 42%) gives control of a multiple market.
If he politicizes Scalia’s death tonight, it will backfire badly. JMO
Yes, you may be right. But closed door, the negotiations should start now.
Ditto for GA. The debates don’t matter. Enough with the debates. We are ready to vote for DJ Trump!
