In South Carolina, shabbat ends at 6:46 PM. Who came up with the idea that voting on Saturday until 7 PM is acceptable? Not that there are many Orthodox Jews in South Carolina afaik, but this still disenfranchises them.

They could have early voted.
Ah, fair enough. I always forget that exists. Here it doesn't exist.

I think Clinton winning in NV might marginally help Rubio since polls are still open in SC.

Why would Clinton winning in NV help Rubio?
Because if Hillary wins the primary, it is more important to have an actual electable Republican as GOP nominee. Trump or Cruz could win against Sanders, but probably not against Hillary.

I don't think there are many now, but South Carolina actually had the largest Jewish population of anywhere in the country until the 1830s; they were mostly Sephardim. Charleston has a pretty prominent place in American Jewish history.

Very interesting, thanks!

If Trump is truly winning SC, and that could very well happen, then I don't see why he would not win the nomination, unfortunately.

Rubio 22
Cruz 20
Bush 15
Kasich 10
Carson 7
What does this mean?

Will the following candidates final percentage be over or under the # I placed beside their name, as an example will Trump be over or under 30%.
I understand. Trump will be under 30, Rubio will be over 22, Cruz will be over 20, Bush will be under 20, Kasich will be under 10, Carson will be under 7.

So Trump's leading with economy and immigration (probably), Cruz with terrorism, and unknown with spending.
Why would Trump be leading with economy?

Because it was revealed earlier by ABC?
Haven't seen that in this thread yet, so not such a strange question.

Am I the only one who is anxiously awaiting Bush's % to see if he may drop out? Don't these exit #s look bad for him?
I definitely hope so, but he has the money to stay in until Super Tuesday and effectively bully Rubio out of the race.

I want to meet the South Carolina GOP voter who says "I LOVE the Federal Government."

I don't hate it and I voted today
For whom?

Did Lindsey Graham endorse anybody, btw?

Wow. 98% are "very or somewhat worried" over the state of the economy.

If those results are accurate, the media will write Cruz's obituary, slam Trump's underperformance, give Rubio all the momentum, then crown him inevitable nominee after he wins NV.

It's happening.
Cruz's magic turnout machine will flatten Rubio in Nevada.
The same great machine that worked so fantastically in SC?

No. Difference is too large. Trump has won this.

No. Difference is too large. Trump has won this.

+ exit polls are more accurate than entrance polls.
But why ? They're both polls.
Because people change their minds before they actually vote, especially in caucuses where they can be convinced. Entrance polls don't measure how people voted, they measure how people intend to vote.

If Rubber Ducky gets more praise for "overperforming expectations", I think I'll vomit. Imagine if Sanders got the same treatment from the media? They'd be calling him the presumptive nominee.
Ehh, Sanders does actually get that same treatment.

It will be interesting to see how the Republican Party embrases Trump should he actually get the nomination.
They won't.
