Trump wins South Carolina, beating Haley in her home state and further closing in on GOP nomination

25. An apples to orange comparison.

Haley matches Trump in name recognition in south carolina and spent over $15 million in ads in the state. Joe faced only two opponents -- Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips who probably had less than 10 percent name recognition and very little money to spend. Only 130,000 voters came out for the Democratic primary in South Carolina, which is more a reflection of the fact that the outcome was a foregone conclusion than any weakness is Democratic support for Joe.
But the real bottom line is that people read too much into primary results. Joe swept the South Carolina primary getting 126,000 votes. Trump won, more narrowly and with significant opposition, getting over 450,000 votes. And when it gets to November, the republican candidate is going to win South Carolina, no matter who it is.
