If your prediction holds true Trump will go ballistic. He will scream ti high heavens that Cruz cheated.

If Trump looses, he may sue his own organization.

Bush, Kasich, and Carson should pack their wagon and go home.

Trump can't win in a consolidated field.  Why do you not understand this?

"What happens after South Carolina"?
Trump panics and goes nuts with all kinds of outlandish threats, while Rubio tries once again to remake who and what he is.
Too bad for him, Geppetto died over a century ago.. :biggrin:

Hard to believe that Haley, Gowdy and Scott all got in behind Rubio to win.  I thought they would have went for Cruz.  They have signed their out warrants as far as getting my votes when it's time to vote again.

The two-three finish of Cruz and Rubio undercut the value of some coveted South Carolina endorsements. Rubio had the backing of Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Trey Gowdy; Cruz got the support of former Gov. Mark Sanford, now a House member.

The potentially positive outcome from the Primary is that Haley, Scott, and Gowdy will have to regain conservative credibility by voting harder Right

It appears Rubio has barely edged out Cruz for second. Realistically, I think we must admit that Haley, Gowdy and Scott endorsements had a marginal impact, but enough to get Rubio into second. However, I also believe Cruz needs to reassess his campaign. A pattern of questionable tactics also appear to have hurt him. These negative aspects of his campaign are over shadowing all of his conservative credentials. He may actually benefit from Rubio edging him out in Sc in that Trump will now turn his guns on Rubio.

Yup!  Those 40% undecided voters, weren't looking at POLICY (they would've decided weeks earlier, had they been), the negatives probably swayed them toward the bigger campaign crowds, "Well, whatever, they're all bad, BUT we gotta beat Hillary!" - logic...?

Trump's just won two states with open primaries (GOP voters and independents but not Democrats.)

He has populist appeal.  Cruz does not.

Are you going to use the same ridiculous argument, the one the establishment media is offering up, each time Trump wins another state by double digits?
