The same applies to Hillary, and Millenials gonna be mad and resentful as hell if Bernie doesn't get the nomination.

Exit polls incoming!

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-south-carolina-gop-primary-exit-poll-analysis/story?id=37077219

Preliminary exit poll results from the South Carolina GOP primary have been released.

Record turnout by conservatives and evangelicals is helping to shape the South Carolina Republican primary, along with vast support for Donald Trump’s stance on limiting the ability of Muslims to enter the country and substantial backing for deportation of undocumented immigrants.

Preliminary exit poll results indicate that three-quarters of the state’s primary voters support temporarily banning Muslims who are not U.S. citizens from entering the United States. That’s even more than the support for this proposal among GOP voters in New Hampshire, 65 percent – a core support group for Trump in that state.

Many fewer – but still more than four in 10 – favor deporting undocumented immigrants, another very strong group for Trump in New Hampshire. And, in another helpful result for Trump, four in 10 pick him among five top candidates as best able to handle the economy – twice as many as pick his nearest competitor on this issue, Ted Cruz.

Other results are potentially helpful to other candidates. Eight in 10 GOP voters in South Carolina identify themselves as conservative, and four in 10 as very conservative – both on pace to set records in exit poll data in the state back to 1992. (In 2012, for example, 68 percent were conservatives.)

Further in these preliminary results, nearly three-quarters of GOP voters identify themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians – again a record if it holds in final data, up from 65 percent in 2012. It was evangelicals who lifted Cruz to victory in Iowa; they made up 64 percent of voters there, vs. just 25 percent in New Hampshire, where Trump won.

Additionally, nearly half say it matters “a great deal” to them that a candidate shares their religious beliefs – up very sharply from 26 percent in 2012. And the top candidate attribute voters are seeking is someone who “shares my values” – a weaker group for Trump in earlier contests, and a consistently better one for Cruz. It was the most-desired quality in New Hampshire and Iowa, as well.

In one newly hotly debated issue, the exit poll asked voters which of five candidates they’d trust most to handle nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court. In preliminary results, they chiefly divide between Cruz, Trump and Marco Rubio on this question.

Apart from Christie sending him into loop mode my favorite Rubio moment was when he tried to take a shot at Cruz about not being able to speak Spanish followed by Cruz dropping a load of Spanish on him. He's just a clueless dick.

In what way are they different? Other than SC's being Southern Baptists, presumably.

Maybe it's less a religious than a regional difference, but Trump seems to be doing a lot better with SC evangelicals than he did with the Iowa evangelicals. Maybe it's because SC doesn't have a group of powerful evangelical kingmakers like Iowa had. Remember all those guys with the Dutch last names who went all in for Cruz? Ted don't have that in SC.

Yeah, I think Trump's working-class nationalism goes over relatively well with the base in SC, evangelical or not.
