BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP WINS SOUTH CAROLINA!

This stuff is breaking quicker than I can shot videos and publish on the blog! Needless to say, my previous prediction on Trump’s winning was a bit off.

First my video:

Here’s The Don’s victory speech:

The Story via Fox News:

Donald Trump swept to victory in the South Carolina Republican primary on Saturday, putting him in a commanding position as the race shifts to a slew of delegate-rich contests.

Jeb Bush, though, abruptly suspended his campaign after a distant finish, leaving unclear to whom his supporters will gravitate.

But Trump, at his victory rally, seemed to dismiss the notion that other candidates would benefit from Bush’s exit.

“[The pundits] don’t understand that as people drop out, I’m going to get a lot of those votes,” Trump said.

He said the primary race lately has been “mean” and “vicious” but: “When you win, it’s beautiful.”

He closed by saying, “Let’s put this thing away, and let’s make America great again.”

Trump’s victory is not by the big double-digit margin that pre-election polls had suggested. Still, this makes back-to-back victories for Trump, who more than doubled the vote of his closest competitor in New Hampshire last week.

Rand Paul talks about the future of the GOP

Quoting Ed Morrissey:

Paul the Younger has always seemed to have a better grasp on reality than Paul the Elder, and so far has managed to shed the disturbing connections to the fringe that his father courted. I don’t think that Paul will have enough of a following by 2016 to make a serious run for the Presidency, but his talents might be better used in the Senate to build a conservative wing along with Jim DeMint that can stop the excesses of Washington and fight for fiscal sanity. The presidency will always be critical to that fight, but it can’t be won without having solid players in the legislative branch as well.

Paul is an element of the future of the Republican Party, and if he works wisely, he could be a driving force for a deeper commitment to limited government and large-scale reform. That would be good news for everyone.

I kind of agree with this, and kind of I do not. For one, Rand Paul does have some questionable ties; namely his Father for one. Two, he has made some questionable statements on the Constitution and the civil rights act of 1964. However, I do admire his stances of taxes and states rights when it comes to social issues, which is something I believe that really kneecapped the GOP in this election, especially seeing that they ran an establishment figure.

Again, I believe, like Ed, that Rand Paul would be better suited for Congress. I believe Rubio could make some headway for the GOP in 2016. Some might disagree and say that Rubio would pander to minorities. This might be the case, but seeing the changing demographic in this Country — we got to do something or risk fading into a regional party.

Just my opinion. 😀
