oh, I think she will be in it all the way, but she will have her meltdown times. I feel sure of that and as for Cruz, why anyone would think he will be out of it after SC I have no clue. There will be several Republicans that might hang it up or will be dead regardless, but not Cruz.

If Cruz wins IA, SC will probably follow. Conservative religious voters in SC aren't too fond of Trump's "New York values"
My feelings and they are just an opinion, I would like to know why so many seem to think Trump is going to run away in S.C. He sure didn't seem to be the audience favorite the other night. I expect Cruz and Rubio to do well there. This is not saying Trump will not win, but it is saying he isn't going to kick A@@.

The Clinton Machine will put the old socialist and his clueless, misguided cheerleaders out of their misery in the south...

I think both will still be around after SC, in fact I think they'll be there until the end

For those who are interested - this is the Primary Calendar.

2016 Election Central - Primary Schedule

The Democrats have a small advantage because they have 1 week between Nevada & South Carolina - Republicans have only 3 days. I don't expect Cruz to be dropping out any time soon - his fund raising/cash on hand, is second only to Jeb Bush.

His policy platform I would argue is better for low income people than Hillary's.
Could be but Clinton has spent her entire life from the time she was a college student advocating for low income people. They know it too. Sanders is an acceptable Plan B for them, but they are going to vote for Clinton when the time comes. It is hard to see how Sanders survives the south.

Sanders is popular with the media, they are his biggest supporters! He's DOA after South Carolina.

No way we should allow crazy Donald Trump to get elected over any of the Democratic candidates. If one hasn't noticed, it has been dumb crazy Republicans Presidents that have lead this country into wars and at the brink of economic collapse. Today's Republican Party is way too volatile and crazy to lead anything. They love shrinking the middle class and funneling more money to the super rich.

He's filling rally venues more than all the other candidates combined so his supporters are already out there, I don't see why they wont vote for him.

Sanders was DOA before he ever started, they are just being nice to him until he is no longer needed.

As for the Republican party being too volatile and crazy, HA! Both parties are the same and they are both controlled by the bankers and others behind the curtain. The entire political system and government has been bought and paid for and sold out so long ago that nobody alive can even claim to know what true freedom and honest politics really are.

If you want the perfection and total expertise of the current political system then Hillary is by far the person to continue the way the USA has been operating for decades.

If you want to see things totally shaken up and the hope for some real change and finally getting America back to being a nation of pride and production without all the BS then Trump is your person.

There's really no need to put down any of the candidates even though its tempting ..the simple thing to do is just vote for how you want the county run and pick the person you think will run it that way.

For me I'd vote for Trump over Hillary simply because I feel Hillary will sell out the American people for her own self interests and do it will a condescending demeanor. Trump at least will always try to put the USA first and he'll do it by adding a lot of excitement. He is already rich enough that he's not doing t for the money or power but to really leave a lasting mark on his brand and last name. His image is more important than tired old politics.
