GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is in South Carolina after lapping the field in a New Hampshire primary win on Tuesday night, and he’s not resting one bit. Trump knows if he continues at this pace, he will destroy the field by mid-March if things fall in line for him with the SEC states and Super Tuesday voting.
He set his sights on Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders right away. From what we have heard, the South is “Bush Country,” and former President George W. Bush will help his brother out. Trump doesn’t have any love lost with Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders either:
“I hate to waste time on this guy because he’s not going to win,” he said of Bush during a rally at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C. “I’ve spent less money than anybody else and I’m number one.
“Then you have other people like Jeb, who has spent more money than anybody else and he’s down near the bottom of the pack. When he stops spending money on negative ads against me, I’ll stop.”
Trump was no less sparing in his assessment of Democrat presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
“Who thinks Hillary is going to make it?” he asked the crowd. “She’s got to make it through this wacky socialist guy Bernie.
“He wants to give the country away,” Trump said of Sanders. “Your taxes are going to be at like 95 percent, folks.
“I don’t know that we’re going to be fighting Hillary,” he added. “This guy Sanders is up ranting and raving like a lunatic that he won. I’m shocked that he won. What are we coming to? I just don’t see a socialist as the head of our country.”
Trump told listeners that career politicians like them were more concerned with saving their skins than lifting everyday Americans. I think it will come down to a Trump/Cruz battle for the GOP nomination. And I also believe that they may have to join forces to beat the Democrat in November, one as President, and the other as Vice-President, as both will prove to be very popular going forward.
Trump will continue to gain momentum and should do very well in the South. I truly believe he’s our best chance to correct the damage from the last seven years. Our government needs to be run as a business, not a charity.
Here’s Trump addressing a crowd in South Carolina, talking about how he will win:
