I think this line just about sums it up:

"By nominating Donald Trump for president of the United States,” Rutherford said, “the Republican Party has abdicated its role as a serious political party ... and transformed into the world's largest and angriest comment section.”

What really stuck out to me was how the majority want common sense gun restrictions and increase in minimum wage.

▪ 84 percent of those surveyed support requiring universal criminal background checks for firearm purchases

▪ 81 percent support barring firearm purchases by people on the terrorist watch list

▪ 77 percent support increasing the minimum wage

▪ 78 percent support allowing student loans to be refinanced at lower rates

▪ 53 percent support legislation protecting LGBT South Carolinians from discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations


These are the things that Bernie went on about, and it looks like they really is resinating in people.

Yeah, I'm still not sure how "don't let known-psychos and probable-terrorists have guns" translated into "don't let anyone have guns" in the mind of the GOP, but South Carolina (of all places) seems to get it.

And raising the minimum wage should be a class issue, not a partisan issue, so it's nice to see the quickly-growing lower class finally come to its senses and start voting for their own best interests.

Maybe Donald Trump running for president is exactly what America needs right now? It's almost as if the only way we're gong to pull through all the craziness he's created is to allow common sense back into our political conversations... Something that both sides have kicked to the curb over the last couple decades.

This is the camel's nose under the tent.

With no due process? Eventually all political enemies will be on the list with no way to get off.

▪ 77 percent support increasing the minimum wage

Price controls don't work. Let the free market sort it out.

▪ 78 percent support allowing student loans to be refinanced at lower rates

Student loans are the reason tuition is so expensive. Also, if you can't afford the loan don't get a sociology degree that doesn't pay.

▪ 53 percent support legislation protecting LGBT South Carolinians from discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations

There is no need for FEDERAL legislation. The federal government needs to but out of decisions that should be left to the states.

Bernie's Socialism is the road to serfdom.
