Yet even with all that advantage & huge piles of crony capitalist money behind her, she is barely squeaking by a 75 year old hippy socialist.

Even then they have to pull strings for her. Harry Reid, convinced the local union bosses to make sure those who will caucus for Hillary got paid time off to do it.

Americans are seeing through the lib media, and they're tired of being taken advantage of.

Whether that will translate into a Trump victory or not is something that I can't predict.

But in terms of the laws of political correctness, Trump should have self-destructed a long, long time ago.

Hasn't happened.

And I'm fine with him having his finger on the nuclear button.

Why wouldn't I be?

Rubio would be my last choice. But I don't like Cruz either. My feeling is that as long as both of them are pulling in votes; they both hurt each other's chance to overthrow Trump. If one of them would bow out early; the other might pick up enough votes to give Trump a run for the money. But I don't think either will bow out if they still feel they are in striking range - they could be their own worse enemies. By the time they realize this; it could be too late.

The bottomline is jobs and for SC, it is critical since they lost so many textile jobs with NAFTA. They know the devastation.

This is what NAFTA cost SC: South Carolina Job Loss During NAFTA-WTO Period 32.4% of their manufacturing jobs.

I am sure their situation is not unique.
Exactly.

I got nothing but love for SC.

Just look at this devastation.

Thanks! I had not seen that: Reid, powerful union come to Clinton Who doesn't like time off from work? Of course, one's integrity would be in question if they did it just to get off work but, then again, one's integrity would be in question if they supported Hillary.

Yep. Yet again Hillary can't win an election by competitive means. They had to pay people to go caucus for her.

Clinton can't even win with young women. She was done before she even got started.
I agree. Also, Bernie keeps pushing her to the left as she tries to 'out progressive' him. Trump is likely watching video-tapes her speeches and town hall remarks getting his attacks honed.

What I don't get is that if the republicans( and God Bless Them) have figured out that we just can't have another Bush in The White House, how is it that the democrats have not been able to come to grips with the fact that another Clinton would be just as disastrous if not worse? I know they're more likely to just vote as told to and not think too much but come on.

The Dems are a "collective" and will vote as they are told to vote.

I just saw MSNBC. They had Trump by phone. He won all 7 Congressional Districts so he gets all 50 delegates.
