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

Due to the amount of evangelical voters in SC the moderate candidate will have a difficult time doing well. They will split the vote along the coast and it will be a race between the anti-establishment candiates.

What has happened to Jeb Bush? Where is the Bush Electoral Machine that got his brother George elected? Rove and Co. Are the not behind Jeb. Have the become uneffective?

Again, does anyone have a idea why Jeb Bush is doing so poorly?

Because what does he bring to the table? One of the reasons why I (erroneously) thought that Walker would beat Bush in the primary is because besides his family network, there's no mandate for him to run or theory behind his candidacy. This has to be it for Bush. I mean, right?

I was expecting the experience and connections of the Bush family to give him an advantage. Where is the machine that got George Bush elected in 2000 and 2004?

He epitomizes everything voters dont want in a candidate right now and has nothing to offer the establishment since he represents (quite literally) an old, outdated view of the party that does nothing to give them a chance in November.

So after George Bush, that name is more of a disadvantage than an advantage?

It will be interesting to see how the Republican Party embrases Trump should he actually get the nomination.

They won't.

Then how will that affect his chances of winning the general election?

I do see a chance for Rubio to move ahead if Bush and Kasich drop out.

Already far more voters in this primary than the NV caucus. I've heard on the net that the total number of voters may exceed 650,000. I know that SC is far more populous than NV, but dayum.

That's comparing apples to oranges

[yourelection]

All eyes now turn on Kasich...

[yourelection]

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

[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.
