Republican South Carolina Primary results thread (polls close @7pm ET)

Rubber Ducky will probably get second, but it won't get him any delegates. If he does get another moment in the sun, mark my words: he'll implode just like he did before NH.

Rubio is essentially ensured a victory in Charleston once its last two precincts come in, but Trump will probably win everything else except for that and Richland.

[Nathan Towne]

This Trump frenzy is really incredible.

[DavidB.]

Wow. Beautiful speech.

[Thomas D]

Single Adults without kids? Screw you.

[Fargobison]

Haley's endorsement turned out to be kind of big. Stuck the final dagger into Bush and likely put Rubio over Cruz.

SPOILER ALERT!

WOT

[jaichind]

Looking at what is outstanding, Trump's vote share will fall while Rubio and Cruz vote share will rise.  Trump will most likely end up between 31 and 32.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Single Adults without kids? Screw you.

Wait... people don't have children?!

[Nathan Towne]

This is a pretty strong speech from Rubio tonight.

[yourelection]

It is hard for me to imagine that Bush's voters will move to Trump

[The Free North]

Jeez, this is Iowa 2.0.

Rubio, I have to admit, has gotten quite good at winning the night without actually winning anything.

Quite impressive.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Here we go folks, it's gonna be Trump vs Rubio...

I'm going to vomit.

[DavidB.]

Rubio lead over Cruz is narrowing.

[Zanas]

Having heard Rubio speak for the first time, he strikes me as very hesitant, febrile, and broadly speaking not very seasoned or reliable.

[jaichind]

Bush getting out and Carson going on is the best scenario for Rubio.  Only thing to make it better would be for Kasich to get out too.

[Ronnie]

Do you guys know when we are going to get congressional district breakdowns?  Everybody seems to be saying that Trump swept all the delegates, but I'm not sure how that's the case when he lost Charleston County.

[jaichind]

Spartanburg County came in.   Cruz net gain 800 votes.  Closes the gap somewhat with Rubio but not enough.  

[/]

ALL of Spartanburg just came in and it certainly isn't enough to put Cruz ahead of Rubio.

Rubio is second.

[jaichind]

Spartanburg County is also a lot better for Trump than I expected.  He will be at least 32% then.

Richland has officially become Rubio's first county win in the state. Charleston will follow suit soon.

[yourelection]

It was an intresting night in South Carolina. Trump win, Rubio close or even ahead of Cruz. Jeb Bush suspends.

I've written down my thoughts and going to bed.

And Charleston is now 100% in for Rubio. It's only his second (and likely his final) county win, but it may give him CD1.

Nope.

Greenville County and York County still have large chunks left.  Greenville County should help Rubio vis-a-vis Curz and York County the other way around.  So they should be mostly a wash.  If that is the case it is hard to see where Cruz gets to votes to overtake Rubio.
