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.

...but only 40% of the rest of republicans feel the same way as compared to the 4 in 10 Trump supporters.

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

Did they poll Cruz supporters on these questions? I imagine that his figures would be very similar.

I’m sure the south will win the next one. Or maybe we wont have to fight a war we can just secede peacefully and let the libs in the north east eat each other.

I bet 90% of Bernie supporters believe that corporations should be forced to disgorge all profits and redistribute them to their employees......if anyone asked them.

The war of Northern Agression was not about slavery, it was about Federalism. The south had already agreed to stop slavery, however...

The winner gets to teach in schools.

I’m not a Trump supporter but I wish the South had won anyway.

[American in Israel]

I wish the south had won, and I am for Cruz, this article is pretty stupid.

"Bald, baby-faced and Beatle-booted is no way to go through life. Go Trump!" Yeah! I got Rafael and his Dad and their pal Marco running for president. What could go wrong?

[Iron Munro]

Well - The nation couldn’t be any worse off if that had happened.

The South was right. A union that is not freely chosen by its State members is illegitimate. We have forgotten our founding principles.

[Baldwin77]

Oh, GASP. THE HORROR !!!

Indeed, once the principle of States rights were overthrown by force, it has been a long slide dowm.

[redfreedom]

Hmmm, this son of immigrants that came to America long after the War Between The States wishes the South had won.

[Hoodat]

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"

They don't care. They want to exact their revenge, and they see Trump as the means to do it.

“Fiddely- dee”

[Hoodat]

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

The waw-ah ain't over yet.

[DoodleDawg]

The south had already agreed to stop slavery, however...

When did they do that?

[McGruff]

Trump should come on stage with a Confederate battle flag. BOOM!

[equaviator]

Sorry, it’s “fiddle-dee-dee”
