Come on now. lol. SC is not NH. NH is one of the most liberal/secular states in the union. Democrats in Texas are far more conservative than republicans in NH. Funny stuff.
Ted Cruz not only won Iowa (which polled heavily Trump) he pulled off a solid 3rd in a strongly liberal state. Pretty ded-gum good showing.
Furthermore, even if Cruz comes in 2nd in SC, the real show doesn't begin until Super Tuesday. SC is a winner take all...over 50%. No candidate will get over 50% to take all delegates. So, they'll be doled out accordingly.
Fun stuff. Aside all the ugliness in this primary season, I'm enjoying this horse race very much. Trump or Cruz...we all win. Bush, Kasich, Rubio, conservatives get the big ol goose egg.
