A new poll shows 38 percent of Donald Trump's supporters in South Carolina wish the South had won the Civil War...Seventy percent of Trump backers also believe that the Confederate battle flag should still be flying over their state capitol.

[bboop]

They just don’t give up, do they? Ad hominem attacks - the only ammo left.

[RoosterRedux]

Well, that does it, I’m gonna vote for Gilmore.;-)

[sparklite2]

So there are still Americans who
don’t like to be tread on?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I just went to my sink and water is still wet, too.

[Resolute Conservative]

This is a big I don’t care.

[stylin19a]

what the heck kind of stat is that ?
Trump is polling what, 36+% in S.C. and 38% of that 36% thinks...blah,blah,blah ?

sheesh.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

that’s disappointing I thought it would be much more than that

[Gunslingr3]

Or who long for human chattel. That knife can cut a lot of ways...

[rockrr]

Seventy percent of Trump backers also believe that the Confederate battle flag should still be flying over their state capitol.

I wonder if they know that Trump's view on the CBF is that "it should be taken down and put in a museum or something"

[Yashcheritsiy]

So essentially, Cruz appeals to people who hate states’ rights and think it’s okay to destroy history just to please left-wing whiners...?

[ladyjane]

But 110% of Bernie supporters are glad the north won the war of aggression. They don’t want states rights. They want free$hit.

[jessduntno]

Sounds like “States Rights” hangover has still not worn off for some of us. But now you got another circular firing squad to start, have at it. We are no longer THESE United States, right?

They can thank their governor for that one.

So what?

The America I grew up in (Yankee all the way) lived at peace with our defeated and reunited brethren for at least 100 years, and we would be better off to do so again.

[Harpotoo]

Well they are southerners so what would you expect from 38%.

[DoodleDawg]

So there are still Americans who don't like to be tread on?

Depends on whether you were the one third of the Confederate population being trod on or the two thirds doing the trodding.

[LS]

LOL. Too much.

[20yearsofinternet]

Yes, their “anti-Establishment” “TEA Party darling” governor. Co-opted stooges, all of them.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Southerners wishing the South had won. I’m shocked.
