Montasque posted: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. The american life episode is fantastic to see how SC evangelicals are a different breed than IA. "I thought I knew you" or something like that.

Pick posted:you mean "the south carolina primary happened"? i guess, if more of them than expected showed up, is what i mean high turnout would probably indicate that this is the case, so maybe these preliminary exit polls are more sensible than i was giving them credit for. it's an open primary, right? the moderate republicans were probably already registered and going to show up; if you're getting new voters they're more likely to be, well, south carolinian

Once Trump has the nomination locked up he should bring in Bernie as a running mate just to watch the GOP burn.

Robotnik Nudes posted: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. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/the-anxiety-of-marco-rubio#.wpQewR8ZY9 quote:But to those who have known him longest, Rubio’s flustered performance Saturday night fit perfectly with an all-too-familiar strain of his personality, one that his handlers and image-makers have labored for years to keep out of public view. Though generally seen as cool-headed and quick on his feet, Rubio is known to friends, allies, and advisers for a kind of incurable anxiousness — and an occasional propensity to panic in moments of crisis, both real and imagined.

Phlegmish posted:In what way are they different? Other than SC's being Southern Baptists, presumably. Midwestern evangelicals are absolutely different from deep south ones, mainly in that religion has more primacy and the bible is taken more seriously. They actually believe in a very abstract way in Christian meekness, whereas Southern evangelicals are bloodthirsty and put god and country on more equal footing. That's good news for Trump.

Why does that exit poll seem to have a whole bunch of polled questions, but no actual exit poll on who people voted for? Like, what's even the point.

You know, without Citizens United, we wouldn't have this glorious election season. The poo poo-tier candidates wouldn't be pulling in contributions to keep going for as long as they have. Instead, it's a game of wealthy fuckwads playing My Pet President until they lose interest.

These are very disgusting words to say, but I'm rooting for Ted Cruz. For SC runner-up. Anything to delay the looming, inevitable Rubio doom a little bit longer.

The whole point of exit polls is they are accurate at the time of closing and by revealing before the polls close they can be unintentionally influencing - if you think your candidate is winning in a landslide you might not feel the need to vote. Republicans tried to take advantage of this in 2000.

Sure, I understand the rationale (though the same could be said of polls in general), though it's strange that it's somehow ok to release extremely suggestive polls like "75% of voters support the muslim ban", "DT won x% of the 'very conservative' group" etc. You'd think they'd request a blanket ban on the release of any exit poll data.

That debate is a long way away. We might be down to 3 by then. I think Marco will get absolutely slaughtered by both Trump and Cruz if that's the case.

Rubio's 3-5-3 strategy is about to become 3-5-3-3 leading into the Super Tuesday 3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 which in turn leads to a lot of question marks that lead to the nomination I guess?

Phlegmish posted:To think, Donald 'Two Corinthians' Trump, who is vaguely aware that the Bible is that book those guys like, is winning with conservative Christians. Who else are they going to vote for? Carson has less chance than 2012 Rick "Santorum" Santorum, and Cruz is a Canadian sleeper agent made of ooze. At least the next and final President of the United States of America loves this country and wants to make it great again.

The Saurus posted:That debate is a long way away. This is the biggest question and it will probably decide the primary. Will Cruz and Rubio team up against Trump like the GOP probably wants or will it be Trump and Cruz both going after Rubio? Or will we see Trump and Rubio both going at Cruz? So far Trump and Rubio have had the least direct conflict with each other. I think they both lay into the infinitely hateable Cruz since they both probably think they will get the majority of his support if he leaves.
