Sanders drew cheers from union workers at the casino hotel’s cafeteria. Rubio has criticized Cruz widely for these “dirty tricks”, going as far as to warn voters to be suspicious of calls or news reports they heard during Saturday’s primary. The former Florida governor’s sleepy expression (“low energy” as Donald Trump would say) set against his desire to look cool just keeps leading to ridicule. “The people of Iowa, New Hampshire and SC have spoken”.

Rand Paul, who has since dropped out – and fourth in New Hampshire. But he may need a third-place finish – if not better – on Saturday in order to remain viable in the race. Rubio had the backing of Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen.
Bush is working to give his brother a voting bump in the upcoming SC primary, so Jeb Bush gave him a chest bump for his efforts. Be more like brother George, the former president.
It’s loud, it’s unpleasant, it’s his most detailed policy statement to date, and recent polling has him at 42.1% in sc.
Mrs Clinton’s narrow margin of victory in a state where she was once expected to win by double digits suggested the Democratic nominating race could be long and hard-fought, with Sanders performing strongly in a state with a heavy minority population.
If the poll-challenged Bush was trying to attract attention, he succeeded.
