 quote:Senator Cruz is a champion for marriage and religious liberty and his victory last night sends a powerful message to the nation’s elite that the American people utterly reject the anti-constitutional, illegitimate ruling of the US Supreme Court redefining marriage. His win should send shockwaves throughout Washington, and provide real momentum for legislation to protect supporters of marriage from retaliation or punishment for standing for the truth of marriage in their daily lives and at work.

Donald Trump, on Morning Joe about an hour ago: "I think we could have used a better ground game, a term I wasn't even familiar with. You know, when you hear ground game, you say, what the hell is that? Now I'm familiar with it."

Zippy the Bummer posted:So Trump hasn't run any TV ads at all? Only online ones? I can't speak for IA or NH, but absolutely NOTHING in South Carolina. I got blasted with Christie ads months ago, then apparently he ran out of money. All I ever see these days are JEB! and Rubio ads. They're pretty terrible.

Imagine how badly I would have beat Cruz if I'd actually tried! Wow!

Trump had to learn the hard way that politics ain't his style of business, no matter how much you talk it up. The thing to wonder is if he's fast enough to adapt and turn the situation around, which I think he stands a more than decent chance. I don't see him going anywhere until Super Tuesday's over and done.

Mitt Romney posted:I wonder if Cruz's ground game in SC and other states is going to be as good as it was in IA. What ground game? He has no ground game here in SC like in IA. He needed small counties and evangelicals in Iowa. Well, guess what kind of town and county I live in. If I didn't follow politics and just stayed in a bubble here, I would have no idea Ted Cruz existed. This is why people are a little premature in declaring Trump stumped. IA was a confluence of all the right things happening for the GOP to take him down, and they BARELY did. The remark about Trump performing as expected a month ago is only wrong because a month ago is too long. It's only been 3 weeks since Cruz was at 32% in Iowa polls. Trump no-showed to the Iowa debate, Iowa was a caucus which is a much more difficult contest for Trump than a primary, Ted Cruz had probably the greatest GOP Iowa ground game in history, demonstrably had the best Iowa data and GOV effort in GOP Iowa history, Iowa is an evangelical & conservative state for the GOP electorate to a much greater extent than in most states, Donald Trump had zero ground game there and a few scattered crazy people as caucus leaders, and Trump did in fact manage to produce record turnout and get his voters out to caucus, racking up the second highest vote total in GOP Iowa caucus history, behind only Ted Cruz;s amazing effort this year. Ted Cruz may be in a bit better position here in SC than in New Hampshire, but a 16 point deficit is sill pretty big, 3x the deficit he faced in Iowa, and here he will not have the benefit of the caucus format OR of his Iowa ground game. He threw EVERYTHING into Iowa. His only hope of winning here is for Trump to LOSE New Hampshire. And Trump has a 20 point lead in New Hampshire at 32% to Cruz's 11%, and Marco Rubio is in 5th with about 9%. Rubio will obviously get a huge push and a lot of money this week, but Bush, Kasich, and Christie have a combined 25%+ in the polls there, have staked their campaigns there, and are going to fight tooth and nail to tear down Marco there and finish first in the establishment lane. Trump is still the most likely NH winner, which will make him the most likely SC winner if he does in fact win NH, which will make him the clear and then proven front-runner if he in fact wins both IA and NH.

Good Citizen posted:Have there been any leaks of internal polling from the Jeb campaign recently? I'm really interested in hearing their most optimistic version of reality right now Aside from being in a virtual 3-way tie in NH, Bush for some reason has 10% in the poll average here in SC. Maybe it's because his brother is popular here, I don't know. I would imagine the people he's paying for internal polling are telling him better numbers. Gotta keep that gravy flowing.

Why do people still give a poo poo about two dudes getting married in 2016? Nothing bad has happened to the institution of marriage since gay people were allowed to marry. Beastiality didn't suddenly become legal. Your marriage wasn't annulled so that you could be forcibly wed to a man. Get over it.

quote:Yet there are signs Mr. Bush may still have some work to do to finish in the top tier here. Speaking to a crowd at the Hanover Inn near the Vermont border during his final stop of the day, Mr. Bush finished a fiery riff about protecting the country as commander in chief — “I won’t be out here blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up,” he said — and was met with total silence.
