Pretty consistent with polling in SC GOP right now : Trump ahead but having lost a couple of points, Cruz and Rubio in a dead heat, the rest following a bit further.

TRUMP surging to victory. And Toronto Ted leads Lavenous the Friendly Robot, while Jebra! and Wacky Waving Inflatible Tube Man battle it out for fourth.

Trump won't be the nominee. I'm sure it's Rubio.

It's momentum... if Trump win SC then NV, then he's won 3/4 contests. If not in SC, I'm not sure where the establishment actually lays down the law. There will come a point where it's too late.

Trump can win SC and NV and not win the nomination if Bush and Kasich both drop out before Super Tuesday and the vast majority of their support goes to Rubio. If Rubio can make it a three man race then he needs to force Cruz out and pick up a lot his support and start beating Trump. A tough thing to achieve but it just might be possible. If it is not possible then he has to hope Trump blows his campaign up in some way.
First hurdle is he probably needs to do better than this poll to force both Bush and Kasich out of the race.

This is kind of what I expect, with Rubio a litter higher than I would think, but who knows anymore.
