"We're Voting With Our Middle Finger": South Carolina Explains Why It Will Pick Trump
Earlier today, we noted that going into the South Carolina primary, Donald Trump is sitting on a commanding lead not just in the state, where he’s up 17 points, but nationally, where his lead over Ted Cruz is an even larger 20 points.
Perhaps most disconcerting for Cruz, Trump has a nine point national edge among white evangelicals, a voter base the Texas senator should by all rights dominate. Trump is also only 3 points behind Cruz among voters who identify as “very conservative.”
In short, the Teflon Don is living up to the hype and while everyone was laughing last summer when Trump declared his candidacy, the only one who is laughing now is Trump himself.
Some were surprised that the latest GOP debate - which appeared at times as though it might devolve into a fist fight - didn’t dent Trump’s numbers. We’re not sure why the shock.
Let's face it, people are done with the professional politicians. None of the elected positions were ever meant to be a career path or contain permanence. Part of this tradition has come from special interest but another part is voters seem to be complacent, opting for politicians that have always been there, so why vote them out?
We need new people in DC. Enough of this partisan warmongering and adversity that serves no one, mostly citizens. The DC needs a purge and the sooner the better.
I see the point 8:49, but Trump's negatives are rising to the point Sanders will win the General Election. Trump's temperament is not conducive for the presidency and certainly the leader of the free world. His ego and narcissism will always be a major problem, just like it is for Obama now. I believe the only one that might win in the general is Rubio, but that is still yet to be seen.
9:18PM this is exactly what I'm talking about in my other post. You are basing your opinion off of what the media has told you about Trump, but have you ever investigated or researched Trump the person? Nope. If you did, you would learn he has done good deeds without taking credit for his whole adult life. If you look, you'll find them.
He bought a farm for a woman who was in foreclosure and she didn't know who paid off her debt for 2 years.
He flew a sick boy from New York to Los Angeles for his treatments when the airlines wouldn't fly the child with his oxygen tank on the plane. (Hint, it wasn't just one trip either.)
People with ego and narcissism don't do those kinds of things. I was married to a narcissist and they wouldn't have crossed the street for anyone. So trust me, you've been given the Megyn Kelly version, which contains a huge agenda backed by many who know if he becomes president, he will not be controlled by anyone but his own conscience and sense of fair play.
Again, his attitude? He's ticked off. So are many of us. We're all ticked off. You can see everywhere - from the parking lot at Walmart to the lines at Giant. People are angry. This anger comes from being promised that things would get better and they've done nothing but get worse and worse.
You'd be pretty upset, too, if you were combating a five point war every day. He's got the GOPe putting out slash ads, Cruz's lying and deception is not helping, Megyn Kelly and her band of propagandists working against him - not to mention people who, like you, make assumptions based on the glitzy tv schmooze.
He's not PC. And you know what? Thank God for that. You might be find with PC but I'm pretty sick and disgusted with PC, too. Too many people puttin' around, careful to not hurt someone else's little tiny feelings. It's ridiculous.
Quite frankly, Rubio wants to grant amnesty to millions of illegals and give them free rides in our universities while our American students are crippled with debt the minute they walk off the stage with their empty folder. And Rubio will not build a wall. We need that wall. Its indisputable.
As for Sanders. Will people be so happy during a general election when they find out that EVERYONE is taxed at 95%? Meaning you would have to work most of the year to pay your taxes. Pretty staggering isn't it? Why work right? If nobody works, who pays? France already demonstrated when they did this, the rich move to other countries that don't tax them. Most of the rich class in France left. Now they have a serious problem on their hands. I think when it comes general election time, Sanders will either not be on the ticket (as many Superdelegates have already chosen Clinton if she's not indited by then) or he will be a lame duck for his entire presidency. Either way, the morale in this country will plummet when his fairy tale promises don't come to fruition.
You have your right to your opinion, but please, in this day and age, educate yourself on these people - doing your own research. Not only on the candidates but on Socialism throughout the world. No one can vote your conscience but you.
Todays politicians have evolved into a new species. Their integrity and priorties have always been suspect. Now we have reached a new level of lying, self-promoting, ego maniacs, seeking power and position. They could care less about your needs or to fixing ANY problems. It's the millionares club who are challenged ethically and morally. It is hard to find a true honest and ethical person in todays political element. We are not selecting the least offensive of the lot to run our country. They ALL are offensive, but hold your nose and vote for the one with the fewer discrepencies.

Thank you, Thornton. I agree 100%
