“Whomever comes out on top after Super Tuesday will likely be propelled to the nomination...not merely SC. Would you not agree?”
Agreed. But I take my prognostication one step further: if Cruz loses by 20 points or more to Trump in S.C., then that BADLY hurts Cruz’s momentum going into the SEC primary. His loss in NH has already started Trump’s bandwagon rolling in S.C. as Trump’s poll lead improved in S.C. after the N.H. voting results.
Cruz knows this, which is why he’s gone into an absolute frenzy of negativity.
