The GOP presidential candidate—and at least two of his rivals—are acting as if the meaning of the Constitution changes depending on the timing of the next election. Antonin Scalia is dead. Is it legitimate for the Republican-controlled Senate to refrain from confirming a replacement for the late Supreme Court justice until a new president is elected, as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson and others on the right have urged? Or does the Senate have an obligation to approve a qualified nominee put forth by President Obama, as many on the left argued as soon as news of the death broke?

Before you know who gets suspended happy, can you give some insight into the real situation in SC.
I haven’t forgotten that in 2012 I was way, way off on turnout. You tried to tell me over 600,000 were coming out and I said you were smoking crack because that would have been a 33% increase from 2008.
Well it happened. And in addition to that I noted that many of the SC DEM Counties that don’t have a high turnout normally in the primary had pretty high growth with Newt picking up the bulk of the support.
So where does it stand this time. Are we going to see 600,000 again? Is SC going to back a Pro-Planned Parenthood funder who blames W for 9/11 and that he lied about WMDs?
If SC goes the way as Iowa, it looks like Cruz should win out a little in the NW part of the state, do no worse than splitting in the low-country low populated counties with Trump, and then hope a Rubio or Establishment takes more votes from Trump in Charleston/Myrtle Beach/Columbia that doesn’t give him a place to make up the vote difference like it did when Rubio won Davenport, Des Moines, and Ames, Cruz still managed to win the heavily populated Evangelical areas in Sioux County and hold his vote totals from previous cycles in the populated areas. If this plays out, Cruz should win.
But then again if SC voters are just as stupid as the mindless Trumpbots on this site, it doesn’t matter anyway since this country is screwed anyways.
Do you know why?
Answer that. I dare you.
I’d like to see Cruz on the court just to hear the libtards scream!
