Must Watch Video: “At a Trump campaign rally in North Augusta, SC, Donald Trump was interrupted by a protester who was screaming profanities and raising his middle finger to the crowd. Two men apparently took action against the protester- and Mr. Trump called them up to the stage to say a few words“…
….and then this happened:
The first of two Donald Trump events in South Carolina today. One in North Augusta at the Riverview Park Activity Center 2pm – The second will be in Beaufort South Carolina at Beaufort High School 6pm.

Tip from Captain Obvious: In an election year when voters identify all the “go-along-to-get-along” politicians as part of the problem, chasing their endorsements is just, well, silly… but feel free to carry on.
The latest post-debate poll from South Carolina, conducted by PPPolling, shows Ted Cruz slipping backward to catch Marco Rubio; and a candidate field, behind Trump, mired in the mud.
Put another way – The same inept politicians who ran for three election cycles promising change, yet did nothing except make things worse, are now standing next to even more inept presidential candidates and touting them as the solution for their own ineptitude.
The political gaslighting is no longer effective against an engaged electorate.
Candidate Donald J Trump is holding a rally tonight in Greenville, SC at the TD Convention Center. The event begins at 7:00pm EST

Donald Trump discusses the state of the presidential race and current issues with candidate Ted Cruz lying.
Today candidate Donald Trump kicks off a week of campaign events in South Carolina. The first event appears to be at noon (eastern) n Mount Pleasant, at the Holiday Inn Charleston – Mount Pleasant.
There is also a 2:30pm Press Conference scheduled in Charleston (venue unknown but most likely same facility). Details of presser content are curiously unavailable.
During the last Republican debate the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Stassel challenged Donald Trump on the projected revenue from his proposed tax plan.
In essence Stassel claimed some economists doubted the growth factor Mr. Trump projects in his tax proposal.
In a sixty second response time, it is factually impossible to explain something we have discussed here before. Specifically, one of the larger hurdles Trump faces is a need to re-educate an entire generation on a fundamentally new vision of the U.S. economy. A return to a goods- based manufacturing and industry driven economic model.
Interestingly, many people have referenced a 1991 (25 years old) video of Donald Trump testifying before congress – as evidence of him being tuned in to political consequences of economic activity. The entire video is well worth watching because it gives you insight into a very specific moment in time as they discuss the ‘Reagan era’ 1986 tax reform act.
However, for the sake of this discussion post I would like to draw your attention to a very specific exchange between Donald Trump and Representative Helen Delich Bently (R-MD). (more…)
A new CBS battleground tracking poll (full pdf below) released today shows the top three candidates continue to be Trump, Cruz and Rubio. Jeb Bush and Dr. Ben Carson are far behind.
Jeb is hoping that bringing his brother, George W. Bush, into the state of South Carolina will provide him more benefit than bringing Mom, Barbara, into New Hampshire. Although many voters in South Carolina are now asking “why can’t Jeb compete for the nomination on his own merits“?
It does seem oddly weak, and profoundly poor advice, for a presidential candidate to be unable to achieve support – and decide the best option is to rely on Mom, Dad and his brother as a crutch. (more…)
