Winning means 29 delegates. I don’t care if he wins by 1 vote. The rest are going to get 6 delegates at most. Rubio may get number 2. Tomorrow will be interesting.

It’s an open primary. This poll that factors 50% of the respondents as “very conservative” is bogus. So is the one that eliminated people who hadn’t voted in the previous primary.

Totally BS.

Cruz “character”:
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.

2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters “vote for Cruz”

3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video “vote for me” with his preacher/father stomping for him.

4. “Brilliant” lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?

A close female friend was VERY pissed about the “lie” comment.

She is thoroughly conservative but was considering Trump. He didn’t do himself any favors with her using that tactic.

I thought South Carolina was winner take all delegates.

Actually there are four polls that have been released in the last few days that show Donald Trump with less than 30% support. The Augusta Chronicle poll has him at 27%, The Harper poll has him at 29%, the NBC/WSJ/Marist poll has him at 28%, and the Clemson poll shows him at 28%. There are also polls that still show him in the mid 30s but four polls is enough to suggest that Trump is losing support going into tomorrows primary.

This is where Trump runs into trouble, I think.

As the crowded GOP field thins out, most of the Republican voters are likely to support the remaining "traditional politicians" in the field.

1) As I said, I don't think Trump is hurt by comments about Bush because contrary to what Rush said, Bush is no longer "revered." The refusal to fight Dem lies gave is Obama. Iraq has lost all support and is viewed as a mistake.

2) There have been just enough weird polls to muddy the waters--a bought and paid for WSJ poll, a super heavy sampled "very conservative" Opinion Savvy Poll, and a Clemson poll that excludes virtually all first time voters. It could just as easily be that because of these 3 polls (2 of which have Trump winning) the polls are once again UNDER counting Trump, as in NH.

The only poll that matters happens tomorrow.

I’m pretty sure that no one is going to be citing any of these polls after tomorrow, so I don’t see what the point in citing them now is.

None of them matter.

Trump made it even worse by later denying he said it.

Are they trying to set up a bit of VOTE FRAUD — to make numbers look plausible ?!

======= :

Bev Harris of BlackBoxVoting

www.CoasttoCoastAM.com

Date: Thursday - February 4, 2016 Host: George Noory ;Guests: — , Bev Harris — last 2 hours.

[ bit from the show summary :

In the latter half (2 hours), founder of Black Box Voting (blackboxvoting.org), an investigative reporting and public education organization for elections, Bev Harris, talked about voting issues related to the presidential primaries, and past elections.

- - - - - - - [ some on NH - - - - -

South Carolina, which uses a completely paperless touchscreen that sends results to a company in Tampa for counting, also has a troubled history when it comes to elections, she cited.

The state is so under the thumb of political party bosses in the most invisible way possible...

What I expect to see in South Carolina is that the candidates who are not favored with their state political parties will be dropped down considerably, she remarked.

Not completely. I guess the winner gets 29 delegates and then each district gives 3 delegates to the individual winner. Nevada is winner takes all.

Yep.....what stuns me is that he hasn’t stopped doing sleazy things. Most candidates when they are caught out right would be careful from that point on. Not Cruz. I guess he wants to be questioned in his integrity.
