Game time.

“My TV is on the fritz, who won SC?”

Gilmore.

I agree. Hannity has been very fair to all the candidates and very positive with Trump.

[PapaBear3625]

Good grief, how gullible and clueless can you be? How much would you wager that the percentage differences shown with 1% in will hold? That's what my comment was about, or maybe you have a reading comprehension problem.

I think the news organizations compared the actual results from the currently-reporting precincts with their exit polls for those precincts, and decided they matched up well enough to trust the exit polls for the rest of the state.

[PGalt]

All three can beat her. That why from the beginning I've supported Trump - it's not about just beating her, but changing the damn direction of the country.

BUMP!

[Neu Pragmatist]

He does indeed , good post ..Trump saving that Georgia family farm is very emotionally compelling and shows that Trump cares deeply about Southerners

[LS]

. . . just before Wolf Blitzer bursts into flames.

[AFPhys]

Thanks for your input. It seems to me that they did a pretty good job, though, of doing the complex analysis. I really like ConservativeReview.com, and the way they analyze positions.

As I detailed in my post, though, there is that VERY STRONG factor for me and many others that position analysis alone does not reflect: that is “establishment” or “not-E”. That is why I have been torn over several of the candidates, and why I elevate Trump to be essentially even with Cruz as my preference. I admit also, to have a very strong concern about the huge Trump “negatives”, which is not reflected in that survey, but really show up in “head-to-head” polling of Dem-GOP candidate.

[MLL]

I agree. Cruz and Bush were fighting it out in NH for 3rd place. I think Cruz will do well in SC over Rubio. Bush, Carson and Kacish need to drop out after tonight. This should already be a 2 man race. I dont like Trump that much but if he wins the nom, I will vote for him. Just as long as he appoints Cruz to the Supreme Court. But I am still hopeful for a Cruz victory! CRUZ 2016!

[ez]

Cruz pulling ahead of Rubio...Bush solidly in single digits.

[SaxxonWoods]

I wonder how much (or little) these numbers would have changed if Trump had spent an equal amount to Rubio and Cruz on ads.

[Fresh Wind]

In his mind he was.

[Yaelle]

Wolf Blitzer can’t combust. He just doesn’t have the synapse power.

[MNJohnnie]

Trump 33.7, Cruz22.2 and Rubio 20.9

[mylife]

Chip away

All the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people! I don’t know?
They wont leave you alone

Biggest gang I know they call the government
Gang is a weapon
That you trade your mind in for
You gotta be just - be just like them

The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%

[RetSignman]

[Yep. Can’t wait to listen to Rush’s show on Monday!]

Just ignore what the results are, Rushbio will tell you what to think because he’s already said “Rubio is a full throated conservative”

[Neu Pragmatist]

In this rare instance we agree .. we need Cruz to stop Robot’s momentum ...we’ll defeat Cruz later

[Yaelle]

I’m worried about Marco. I wish Christie was still here.

[Hattie]

Rush has been for Rubio.

[Yaelle]

Maybe Rubio was full throated at those foam parties in South Beach.

[Gator113]

Here, I will.

“Jump...jump...JUMP.”
