Trump

National Memo - Some 32 percent of voters in South Carolina's Republican presidential primary contest think Donald Trump would not be fit for the presidency if he were convicted of a crime, according to the preliminary results of an exit poll conducted on Saturday by Edison Research.

Robert Reich - In fact, Donald Trump is doing extraordinarily poorly in the Republican primaries and caucuses. In Saturday’s South Carolina Republican primary, he pulled in just 59.8 percent of the vote. Nikki Haley got 39.5 percent. If Joe Biden had gotten under 60 percent of the vote in a Democratic primary, the mainstream media would declare his reelection campaign in dire straits. In 1992, Patrick Buchanan won 40 percent of the vote in the New Hampshire primary, holding George H.W. Bush to 58 percent — almost exactly what Haley did to Trump on Saturday. The New York Times treated the outcome as a huge problem for Bush, with the headline “BUSH JARRED IN FIRST PRIMARY” followed by a story characterizing the result as “a roar of anger” toward Bush from Republican primary voters... In the New Hampshire primary, Trump got 54.3 percent of the vote; Haley, 43.2 percent. In Iowa, Trump got just 56,260 votes. There are 2,083,979 registered voters in Iowa. Hence, fewer than 3 percent of Iowans voted for him.
