NBC News and the South Carolina Primary

[rpannier]

Their analysis says the South Carolina Republican voters have gotten more conservative and it's a toss up between Trump, Cruz and Rubio.

Presently it's Trump ahead, Cruz 2nd, Rubio a few points ahead of Bush in third
Carson and Kasich are road kill

To follow the circus on line

1. Jeb needs to take a quick course on quitting from Sarah Failin.

2. Jeb Bush is running the 'Limbo Campaign'

How Low Can He Go? How Low Can He Go?

It would be hysterical if he finished behind either Kasich or Carson

3. They called it for Trump

4. Thanks

Will Bush finish 4th?
He's presently in 3rd about 3% ahead of Kasich and 4% ahead of Carson

Maybe Dumbyas appearance did more damage than good.

5. No. They have always been this batcrap-crazy conservative.

At least in the 30 years I have lived in this hellhole. OTOH, I am not convinced that NBC's analysis is completely accurate. It will be interesting to see how the turnout numbers compare to previous years. The choices are more conservative this time around, and it's quite possible that the less-conservative republicans, not liking their choices, stayed home. I don't think that even they are enthusiastic about the prospect of another Bush in the White House, and they're not thrilled with Kasich, either, for whatever reason. Also, this is an open primary state. I can imagine a number of Democrats voting today, figuring that Hillary is a shoe-in. I admit to being tempted by that.

6. Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.

Conservative don't mean what it used to.
