    Just cast my vote. Fella leaving as I was walking in nods his head at me and says "Trust Ted!"

    Nothing personal, guy, but any politician whose campaign theme is "Trust", I'm running as far away from him as I can get.

    Anyhow, how do you guys see this GOP race shaping up following South Cack?

    Not sure much changes. I think the field will stay the same until after super Tuesday.

    So as the election results come in tonight we can count on seeing at lease 1 vote fore "write in" candidate "[ddiapos]".

    There will be internal discussion about narrowing the establishment field down from Jeb, Rubio, Carson, and Kasich. Folks are going to have to bow out or end up choosing between Cruz and Trump. It will probably Jeb Bush first, it will sting him personally quite terribly. Then Carson. This will allow Rubio to run to the right of Kasich and look like the "reasonable choice" compared to Cruz/Trump.

    Just speculating.

    I expect Jeb to bow out following SC as well.

    Can't quite figure him out. I'm not sure he really wants to be president. Feels like a guy chasing his father's approval, but does not appear that his heart is in it or that he's sold on his own candidacy.

    He's too nice of a guy that can't get out from under his last name.

    Ted Cruz looks like a cheesy villain from the Adam West Batman.

    If I believed in an anti-Christ, Ted Cruz would be it.

    Oh, come on. You can trust Ted. Dude comes from humble, blue collar roots. His old man came to America with nothing but a hundred dollars wadded up in his underwear.

    Decent, hard-working Americans can relate to a guy like that.

    Will be interesting to see where the last minute deciders go.

    I really have no idea who I'm going to vote for.

    This seems like the ideal scenario for the establishment to get a candidate.

    But there's no telling what the 7% who are still voting for Carson at this point would do.

    Don't know how impactful endorsements are, but Rubio cleaned house in SC. Could give him a boost.

    If it's alliterative it has to be true. It's science.

    At some point, I might just have to sit back and enjoy watching R's nominate a Democrat with an overwhelming majority.
