Donald Trump Polls: South Carolina Win Inevitable Despite Booing At Debate
inquisitr.com/ ^ | 15 Feb | Johathan Vankin

Posted on 02/16/2016 6:20:28 AM PST by xzins

After a Saturday debate in South Carolina that saw Donald Trump bombarded with heavy booing, polls show that the New York billionaire and reality TV personality has not only maintained his massive lead in the state, he actually expanded his dominant polling margin. And with the South Carolina Republican primary now less than a week away, a Donald Trump victory now appears inevitable.

In fact, his lead in most of the primary and caucus states coming after the February 20 South Carolina primary paints a picture of nearly complete dominance by the 68-year-old Donald Trump throughout the primary campaign, with his opponents not yet showing any coherent strategy to stop him. One of the few stumbling blocks for Trump will likely be Texas, home state of Trump's chief rival, ultra-conservative Senator Ted Cruz.

UPDATE, February 15: A poll conducted Sunday, after the debate, by the South Carolina House Republican Caucus also shows Trump with a sizable continuing lead. In that poll, Trump leads Cruz by 19 points, 33 to 14. Another post-debate poll - by Public Policy Polling - came up with a similar result, showing Trump maintaining a 17-point lead over Cruz, 35 percent to 18 percent, as it becomes increasingly apparent that any damage sustained by Trump due to his debate performance was minimal.

He’s positioning himself to run as third party in the event that Cruz trumps him!

These “debates” have become freak shows. I think the GOP can knock it off now. Americans have had enough.

Trump’s got 7 rallies scheduled for the rest of the week:

He’s certainly taking this race very seriously, and not just resting on his lead.

You mean voters don’t care that paid GOPe shills booed everything Trump said and followed the “please clap” marching orders for Yeb?

Who woulda thunk it?!

Trump leads with 33%. Another poll shows that 32% of Americans have never heard of Antonin Scalia. Coincidence? :)

Just look at the RCP graphics Trump’s trend line going up
and Cruz trends down to Rubio.

If you’ve ever watched Jesse Watters, then I’ll bet it’s far higher than 32% who don’t know Scalia.

Stuart Varney thinks that fine and Trump should take it.

“as it becomes increasingly apparent that any damage sustained by Trump due to his debate performance was minimal.”

Boy didn’t see that from a light year away.

Maybe running more negative articles on him will do the trick? How about mis-quoting him a bit more? Maybe keep repeating stupid memes that he wants to appoint his sister to SCOTUS? Or how about belittle the people that support him MORE harshly???

Maybe when these idiots are done demonstrating the definition of insanity, then they will finally get why he has the support he has.

Booing at debate? The place was stacked with GOPe backers. The GOPe are the ones that need to be booed.

I sense a real frantic nature to the establishment media, troll, and politician attacks this week, but also a sense of resignation that they are accomplishing nothing.

I think they truly don’t know how to fight Trump. If they had a pillow, they’d use the Scalia Solution.

Blue Collar Whites are his main constituency. They hate the establishment that has sold them down the river. When they attack Donald, his supporters just show more resolve.

Go Trump.

But that’s Trumps core audience...the Jerry Springer types. I’m not just talking about the viewers...it’s mostly the people that were on the show supporting Trump.
