Poll: Trump and Clinton have commanding leads in S.C.
By ELIZA COLLINS 12/09/15 06:59 PM EST

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton each have dominating leads among their party's primary voters in South Carolina, with more than double and triple the support, respectively, of their nearest competitors.

The former secretary of state has 65 percent support in the poll, while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has 21 percent and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is at 3 percent.

1. 65% to 21%. Nuff said

2. It sounds good to me

3. But SC is a rethug state that will vote for the rethug in the general

So this means nothing to me. SC will vote for trump/ Cruz / Rubio in the general.

4. Whichever democrat wins the primary

get a large amount of delegates for the nomination though, 50 or so I think.

7. To me it means that Hillary is winning in the South Carolina Primary.

11. Actually SC is more representative of the Democratic base than Iowa or NH

in that it has a significant number of African-Americans--which are vital to our winning a presidential election and Hillary Clinton far outpaces Bernie with them.

5. it appears South Carolinians love their authoritarians.

14. Wouldn't the authoritarian be the one who...

Wants to expand the govt, per the definition: favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.

6. This is exactly the choice the media and their owners want.

The straight-talking "daddy" candidate and the First Woman candidate, a smack down made for TV. South Carolina is a perfect state to nurture this sort of thing: the most Confederate state, but with a large AA population that loves Clintons.

8. thank you, workingclasshero! Good news!

10. Ain't it great?

Hillary's ground game is aces apparently

[riversedge]

9. Jolly good. Congrats to Hillary and her Team in SC

12. Fantastic news all the way around!!

We're watching the disintegration of the GOP ... it's happening before our very eyes! If Trump gets the nomination, the GOP will be political poison for at least a generation!!

13. If Trump get the rethug nomination

It will tear the teahaddist party in two.

If he splits and runs third party, the republican party is dead.
Either way democrats win and IMO Hillary Clinton will be the next president!
