A NEW LOOK AT THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY. The South Carolina primary, still more than three weeks away, is shaping up to be a critical moment in the lopsided Republican presidential race. Former President Donald Trump has already won Iowa and New Hampshire by double digits, which in the past has meant the contest is pretty much over. But Nikki Haley, who of course is a former South Carolina governor, is Trump’s last challenger in the race. She does not predict that she will win her home state but says her goal is to improve her performance from Iowa to New Hampshire to South Carolina. In Iowa, with multiple candidates in the race, Haley won 19% of the vote, and in New Hampshire, one-on-one against Trump, she won 43%. So in South Carolina, in another one-on-one contest with Trump, she defines success as scoring more than 43%.

There has been a real shortage of polls from South Carolina lately, but now we have, from the Washington Post and Monmouth University, the first survey of the state to be taken after both Iowa and New Hampshire. The new poll finds Trump far ahead, 58% to Haley’s 32%.

The survey shows South Carolina GOP primary voters trust Trump more than Haley to handle every issue the pollsters asked about. On immigration, they trusted Trump by a margin of 62% to Haley’s 22%. On the economy, they trusted Trump 60% to 21%. On foreign affairs, they trusted Trump 54% to 29%. And on abortion, they trusted Trump 35% to 26%, the smallest margin of all the issues but still a Trump advantage.

An off-the-wall prediction:
Mr. Trump will beat no no no no Nimarata by 2-to-1, in her home state.

I'm not a Trump fan, but I'd love to see Haley lose her home state. 
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
